psiburr 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Searched and couldn't find a thread askin this but wondering if you've given your car a name and what the thinking is behind it ? About a year ago my girlfriend at the time, knowing how much time/money/passion I put into my corrado, jokingly asked who the other woman in my life was and Margaret popped into my head. No idea why but its bad luck to rename so Margaret it is :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 15, 2010 I've never named the car anything, but my ex-gf used to call it the "Berkado" though :D Apart from those 'Henry' Hoovers, I've never really thought of machines as she/her, or him, they are just "it" to me :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purgatori 1 Posted November 15, 2010 My Rado is Rayne. Cos she likes it when it rains, especially soaking pedestrians by splashing in puddles :grin: also Purple Rain is my favourtie cocktail. And the first person to mention the purple sex midget will get a very loud talking to! :mad2: And also, Rain was a character from Mortal Kombat who kicked ass :norty: and he was purple. She's sometimes called the big purple ninja cos she's BPN on the reg and I do ninjutsu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted November 15, 2010 Apart from those 'Henry' Hoovers, I've never really thought of machines as she/her, or him, they are just "it" to me :D Most mechanical things are female in my eyes, for some reason. Never named any cars or tractors, think it's a bit weird. My ex used to refer to one car as Mrs ToadsSurname, and the other as The Mistress though.
