Could be opening a can of worms here, but what do people call their cars?

Is this a little too effete for TVR-owners? Had my Tuscan three weeks now and feeling the need to christen her...

Don't have a name for the Tamora and didn't for the Chimaera either!

My first car was a Renault Fuego GTS called "Vim Fuego" after the lead singer from Bad News.

(Vim Fuego's real name was Alan Metcalfe who was a painter and decorator in the 'Comic Strip Presents....' and was played by Ade Edmondson! )

I don't have enough brain to drive it and think up names at the same time.

I can't say much when my face is plastered with the rediculously wide grin.

Therefore, no name.

Usually just known as 'The Tiv'. Occasionally referred to as the 'Millenium Falcon' - Just as fast, and just as reliable

TVR is ' big blue' or sometimes 'thirsty'

Golf is 'cogs' (or sometimes 'new cogs' to avoid confusion with my oldest golf that's now gone)

Consider yourself "pushed"!
