Names for cars and motobikes

[disco2 td5]

Why do people name them it's something I don't get
I call the discovery either disco or td5
and the motobike tiger because it's a triumph tiger

what do you call urs and what's the reason

[les baty]

Well!

we call our Disco "Les Baty" because its what the numberplate makes up to - he has become a bit of a legend now, with his own facebook page!!!

We call our Range "Stella" because the first 4 letters and numbers on the number plate make up Beer, backwards!!!

Simple really! Why not name your car, gives it a bit of character!!!

Used to have an old YMT call Sway, was kinda apt ;)

[disco2 td5]

The reason y is at work a guy came in with a bike and he taked about it like it were a women like be gental with her, she's only done 50 miles this year, now that winds me 

The mrs says the disco is a man because it's temprimental but I say it's a women lol

the funny thing is the last 4 weeks I've had a new focus n it's reliable but it's just a car
 
in the disco I carry 1 gal of oil a oil filter as one leaked on it, auto box oil as a pipe leaked , pipe and jublie clips , water pump , loads of water , new fan belt , and a tool box

[Panda]

I named my truck sandy...as its a mean ****ing landy. also help to have a name to shout out when she brakes or something goes wrong with her.

[denviks]

my disco is called clunk...............

it was named on another forum as on the way home after buying it , i managed to get 110 miles before the engine went clunk in a big way......  that was an expensive clunk....bottom end of the engine fell apart inside.

so a new truck with a new engine in the same week..........


now known as clunk

[V8MoneyPit]

My 90 is also called Daisy..... just to annoy my 14 year old son who would rather it was called something altogether more macho  :lol:

[JumboBeef]

Of course cars are female: just think how you put the fuel in ;)

[steve howes]

 
i call mine mothercare because its full of rattles   :roll:

[Range Rover Red]

My RR is called Penelope because she came home from the West Midlands on a car trailer, with the alarm screaming for "Heyalp! Heyalp!"(try saying it out loud ;)).  She's now turning into a real high-maintenance lady.

The old one was called Tarquin after a particularly revolting kid I once saw in Tesco.  My Tarquin was a bit of a thug who thought he was posh.

[Discopoo]

Disco is called "Discopoo" as it's an attitude thing and the Sportrak is called "Pig", as in that'll do Pig

[dxmedia]

[fuzzy]

We call our old series 3 percival as the letters on the no plate are pvl, it was the missus what started it, honest!!!!! :^o

[wormster]

My car is called snips - because somebody mentioned that it looked like a haidressers vehicle.
The Snappers call it "Truckie"
In reality its a grungy cavers vehicle!!

[Mangaroth]

Exactly. lol

[Bush Tucker Man]

The XKR is 'the Cat', or 'Growler' as they (for some reason) call the icon on the badge

The C-Max is either 'Blue Van', or 'Van Morrison' (wasn't my choice of motor!)

Sadly the 110 departed in February, after years of nagging (bringing an end to 15+ years of landy ownership), but that was generally 'the truck'

Nice to see you are still hanging around on here Richard even though the 110 departed. I left the throng for 6 months and bought an MGB GT but I came to my senses and now have a little modified Jimny.

[Range Rover Blues]

Blue is called blue 'cos it's blue.  The wife's TDi is "chuugaboom" after the car in wacky races.  My LSE doesn't really have a name.

I called my firsat car otl after its' registration and my second (another Escort) was "the shed", it was!

My cavlaier was "eyore", 1.7 N/A diesel, not quick off the mark.

My Micra, noddy car.  Well have you looked at one?

the wife's F|iesta was "Dennis" (the menace).

[Bush Tucker Man]

The wife of one of my ex-collegues had a Fiesta, she called it.. 'Esther' (not because it had a shiney grill (ie; big teeth), but because it rhymed.

Yes, I still pop in every so often, to have a look around, & still ride down past the end of your estate a couple of times per week (if you still live there) & run around the area between where I live & Wakefield

Please don't tell me it was a GT-V8, if so.....Damn!!!!, I missed it.

By The Way;
Did you see the little car-show up on Heath Common a fortnight ago?, up by 'The Kings Arms'?
I've got some photos, & have added them to my'www' (take the option of 'newest')

[Terranger]

I call mine Mikey, cos the last 3 letters are MKE.

He's a temperate little git at times, (stopping suddenly and refusing to move), and i've recently painted it red and black.., in the same vein as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, (red and black jumper).

When he kicks off (it's a V8) he's loud and brash.
But he's a lot of fun to be with.

How sad am i, eh?

[Girly Landy]

well... we had 

rrc reg d??? bdu - big daft an ugly
digger the 90 :)
pop the rrc - it had a powerflow backbox that REALLY backfired lol
Suzie trooper - obvious ha

[Series 3 Brad]

I call my series 3 "angus" because it used to be at the load lane fire plant and has a plate on it saying Hob-Angus and so its name is angus =) i could always call it foxy lady as the number plate is FXC (foxy) and the last letter is L (Lady)

[Bagman]

Mines called effin.when the boss first saw it she said where u get that effin fing (she don't like it) 

[disco2 td5]

Just thought I can call it motor cycle news  as plate is w.    Mcn

[morson4x4]
