Love some of the names - such a wide variety. :)

Someone help me come up with a nickname for my car please :)

He needs a name :lol:

He's silver - so it's easy.

Surfer or Arrow.

Mercury, Quicksilver, Shadow or Precious.

Probably not brilliant nicknames ... just bandying a few ideas about!

Was going to call mine PEA (my initials being PO'D) but thought that GOBLIN (green goblin) was a better name as it works on a couple of levels for me . . . LOL

Mine is called FIESTA! :)

not veru imaginative although I guess it is technically correct!

BTW, how's your car going Paul? I'm guessing you are still going through the 'kid with a new toy' phase. :D

I'm still waiting for mine, although it was built on 5th Sept and the dealer has said it should hopefully arrive about the 23rd Sept ... in fact, a week today! (Nervous excitement building up!)

My car's turned out to be Spanish, btw. Not really bothered too much, but I think I would have prefered it to be German-made. (Although I'm sure there will be no real difference between them!) It would be interesting to know though, (just as a silly little survey), if people have had any problems, where their cars were actually made. In other words, which Fiestas seem to be the most reliable: German-made or Spanish-made!

Still undecided on the pet name ... 'Scarlet' keeps cropping up more often than not - but I'll guess I need to actually get to know her personality before I choose a final name.

Anyway, hope you are enjoying Goblin, (your car I mean!!!) ;)

Sarc.

Unfortunately....like the Sarcster....ours is/was built Spain too.

At the moment he's going to be called Pedro....but if he doesn't !Removed! well hurry up he's going to be known as "El Crappo"!!!

Love goblin (the car!) - and it is a good name for yours (I see your's is a lady!)

Naming your car, that's ridiculous! For those of you who are men, call yourselves real men!

You absolutely wouldn't catch me naming my fiesta. No sir. Nothing like, ehh, Freddie, after 2005 Ashes party and the car rides like its been on a 23hr bender! :)

Although these days instread of Freddie, I tend to stick to "Worthless piece of sh**"

What justifies someone being a 'real man' then>

Why not use your reg number (if possible). My Focus last three was KRN, therefore my wife called it Karen.

Cheers

Brian :rolleyes:

You could always call him Manuelle ... as in 'manuelle transmission'. :) (Or, maybe not.) :rolleyes:

Looks like we won't be calling him "El Crappo" after all. ;)

I would say something about you enjoy climbing into your man but that could get a bit out of order! LOL
