What do you call / have you named your car ?

''bruce'' ...

When my wife was at teachers college in the early 80s, a fellow student had an HD Holden called Bruce.

Bruce Holden even had a library card.

At the moment, LIL BASTARD,

PROBLEM CHILD is also acceptable

I think Collin is a good name, for anything except a human.

I still maintain naming cars is a girl thing. I'm have a rather unhealthy romantic relationship with my GTI, with it's sexy wide round rear end and... what...

but I have never named it.

It was suggested when I bought it, that it's name would be Gerti...
I don't think so!

Tipping your 'GTI' is a 4-door, DSG model?

My Golf has ended up being called Wolf. Started with Wolfgang becuase it is very German and it was built in Wolfsburg.

Have you given your car a name?

Hi everyone,

Caradvice had a recent post about how 53% of drivers name their cars - giving a list of the top 10 names. Thank heavens for this post as it turns out I am not the only looser to name their car. I'm actually a majority!

Thought it would be entertaining to see who else has named their car and with what name.

My GTI is called - Veronica. Prior to her there was, Molly, Magda, Tommy, & Valmai.

that's what my old blue graphite mkv was called.

the new one's called roger, as in federer. white, good at almost everything but lacking a little bit of bastard.

[REXman]

My last WRX was called Warren. Haven't got a name yet for..

[MISS VDUB]

GerTIe Golf, new addition we are getting will be called Mark as the guy we are buying it off is called Mark and its its a MK 2, so therefore its MARK 2! Lame i know

[triode12]

Our Pirelli is called Sabine (after Sabine Schmitz) and the GT is called Heidi (coz it sounds good).

My GTI is named Peaches. There are a few references. The singer, who is a little bit naughty - just like the GTI. From Face/Off where Nicholas Cage says "I could eat a Peach for hours" - I could drive her for hours. Also from the movie Kalifornia where Brad Pitt is looking for an escaped hostage named "Peaches" - and that is how we say it.

I also have a ute named Cletus. It's a slack-jawed yokel mobile.
