Names of your farourite ride.

[BOSSGT302]

We seem to name all our cars, does anyone else personalise their cars. There was Henry, my XA coupe, Junior, an AU Futura, Flash my wifes Focus and last but not least The Boss, my current ride, BF MK11 302kw GT. So in the morning my 5 year old son asks are we going in Flash or The Boss today. He will also give The Boss a hug and kiss good night.
We name and they are part of the family. So anyone else name there pride and joy. :

[FORCED F6]

Well I named my F6 "Tayfun" which is a guys name in my country & also my mates name is Tayfun, sounds similiar to Typhoon.

[Jason[98.EL]]

i called one of my old cars the pig because it looked like a pig but went like a cut cat

[FrogInASock]

First car was a Mini Clubman GT (Aussie delivery, only 283 made) which I called Goliath. Sometimes she go, sometimes she lie-eth. Bought in 1987, $1800. Then $2200 to fix the dying engine and gearbox. Ouch!
Next one was an '81 Sigma simply called The Beast. The original rego plates werew LOO, so I quickly changed them for personalised so it couldn't be called "the toilet"!
Then an '82 Landcruiser shorty named The Truck, because it drove like one.
THEN an '86 Magna Elite, the Mighty Magna. Luxury in 1993, for a 23 year old! Still the best car I have ever owned.
Traded the Magna on a '92 NC V8 Fairlane which I called a lot of different names, ones that I couldn't use in polite company! GODS it was a lemon! Only car I have ever been happy to see the back of. Yeah, yeah, I know this IS Ford Forums, but I tell it like it is.
I traded the bloody Fairlane for a TE Magna wagon. Something a bit better for my very short girlfriend (now wife) to learn and drive in. It was the Green Beast. A car crash in Sydney took it away from me, my wife still has a breastbone which tells her when it's going to rain...
It was replaced by a slightly newer Verada, named Green Beast 2. I still have this.
In between Beasts, I had an XH Falcon ute simply called the ute which I had intended to turn into a camping rig. However, the roads I intended to travel are often closed to non-4WD's and the fines for breaking those rules are pretty steep. So it went and now I have a Pajero wagon, still unnamed!

[Zed7fiddy]

I call my bike The Zed, and my old BA was the Barge.

[bathurst77]

I knew a great ride called joanne once

[bathurst77]

had a lightning strike BA SR that was called either "the silver streak" or "greased lightning".

had a blue el wagon called "the big blue"

had a white magna wagon company car called "the loaf" coz it just loafed along slowly and was like a bland loaf of white bread.

my current car is "The Mundane-oh"

[schnoods]

my old mans Ea wagon was the WagHoon.

my pano is the mobile bedroom

my EF is currently Slapper...

[XRSIKS]

Bronnie came up with this for ours..... as our nickname on here is SNBXR....

the XR6 is "The Sexy"
the XR8 is "The Beastie" ... Sexy N Beasty XR :P

[geckoGT]

My old BA XR8 was the "Gecko", hence my user name which was originally GeckoXR8
BAII GT was Storm Chaser, it spent a lot of time on the track chasing Typhoons and Tornado's.
Super Pursuit is Utey, oriiginal I know.
Mini Cooper S JCW is Buzzby, it is yellow with a black roof.
AUII Forte is Audrey, the slow old lady it is.

[TC200six]

I used to call 2 cars which have been sold and don't have any more, a KA Laser as "****box" and an N12 Pulsar as "the boat" because of it's terrible driving dynamics.

[platinumXR]

I had an XD Fairmont Ghia called simply The D
I had a Genuine 2dr RS2000 that the previous owner/builder's girlfriend had dubbed "Ernie"
An XB Fairmont GS called "Monty"
An ex girlfriend bought a rusty bomb of a XB coupe and driving it home the exhaust scraped on the road...so...naturally..."SPARKY" ensued...

Pretty lame I guess...

[Iggypoppin']

I call my XR the bike, cos all my mates borrow it, if you get the picture. My mates yellow Gemini is bumblebee, cos his 5 year old son loves transformers and thinks the Gemini is like bumblebee from transformers. My old BMW was will smith...given to me by my dad, who smirked when I showed him the car for the first time and said, BMW's short for only one thing....and I'll let everyone else guess what that is.I'll get banned for sure if I say it ;)

[Bmobile]

I have a Hilux 4x4 I call the "MUDLUX"
A blue SV6 VZ Commodore <cough> we call the Commy, Bluie, wifes car.... [no real love there for any perticular name]

And a XM Falcon known as the "BOOGER MOBILE"


Also:

The wife used to own a real nice showie LX Torana hatch back painted bright yellow and named "JUST HATCHED"

[2.8L Hilux]

No original names here. Had my old 94 Hilux which we used to call "Luxy" and now I call the Fairmont "Monty" or my mates call it "Monty Burns" :togo:

[low au classic]

my au got the name "pixie fu*ker" on drunk nite due to the number plate being "pxf" no idea how we came up with it but it has stuck 2 years on

[El Venom]

My current car is just called venom, I had an XF we called the go kart and a 79 celica we called god

[uranium_death]

The XF Wagon was "The Tractor" for its lack of pace, and its workhorse ability.
The current VTII I used to call, 'Clunky' for the transmission, but sort of hasn't been an issue for a while.

[Buzz Box]

Well I had an old 1975 XJ6 which was HUGE so it was "The Beast" I then had a BA wagon which had a nudge bar on the front and towbar at the back so over 5 metres long and it was "The Big White Wagon" then we had my partners old Falcon which was called "Ophelia" (Number plates were OPH) now we have the "Bubble Car" or "Buzz Box" and the Fairmont is still not 100% but at this stage is the "Tarzan Gorilla Car" thanks to a 10yo and TZG number plates.

P.S. I love this thread because some of the names are quite funny like above.

[Dezza]

I named the EA Kylie because she's getting old but still looks good!

[Thankfull]

Back in the early 80s we had a 1938 Vauxhall sedan....great big thing it was with a Bedford truck engine in the Engine Bay....similiar looking to the 37/38 Chev sedan but with bigger tear drop lights....3 speed floor shift stick

She was Oxide red....we called her Matilda.

[Escort_RPDriver]

I named the Escort Shooter because when i first got it i lost 3 spark plugs in in a week it was just Shooting them out because part of the thred in the head was gone.

[macstac]
