    What do you call / have you named your car ?

    Just out of curiosity...
    Does anyone else name their cars?
    I get very attached to all my cars (among other things) and they all have a first name.

    I'll get the ball rolling:

    Polo - Veronica
    VR6 - Vish
    MK1 76 GTI - Helga
    MK1 77 GLS - Betty
    Skyline R32 GT-R - Zilla
    Datsun 240K - Dotti

    Does anyone else do this, or am i just mad?

    Errrm, I would say you are just mad Stephy!! Although it is a girl thing I think.

    I get attached to a good car but I never lose sight of the fact that it is a machine!

    People have suggested many names for my car since I've had it, most of them girls names also. I don't like it at all...it isn't a girl and I don't think it needs a name haha. It's just my little beast

    Ha, my old 76 golf was also named Helga.

    The MK1 we have is sometimes referred to as Herr (Lord in German)
    The MK5 and the new Pug 308 are called 'Mummys cars' by the kids
    Previously my 1969 Hillman Imp was called Elliot

    I'm not sure all cars can be named, some simply end up with endearing qualities that make you feel close enough to them to name them.
