rabbitstew Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 My lad calls my 997 Sally Porsche. Simply cos of that 996 in the Cars film is called Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Straggler Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My 350Z is called J-Lo for a few reasons Long in the tooth but still sexy High-maintenance but not too diva Famously slightly bulbous rear end Japanese and low Springs the occasional leak :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Straggler Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Previously my Kia Cee'd was Kim Jong because it had KJ in the registration and was Korean (and red!) Before that, the MG ZTT was Humphrey because of HMF in the registration (and Humphrey seemed a suitable name for a dressed-up Werthers Original Rover 75 estate) Couple of nondescript Vauxhalls before that, which I didn't bother naming. Before that, a VW Polo Saloon called Alison because I got my friend Alison from the band Saloon to autograph it, for some reason. Although I soon dropped the name in favour of "crappy money pit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASemper Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 My 350 has ended up with 'DinoZaur' after I got the rear window louvre as it reminded my mate of the ridges on the back of a dinosaur 😆 Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 After much deliberating on a name whilst waiting for the new Z to arrive, my sister suggested Gizmo, which has stuck! Good car name I think, and a subtle (I joke) play on words for Nismo and Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
