There seems to be a trend of people "Naming " their cars for one reason or another ,to some it's to do with letters in the number plate or some other reason, what's yours called and why? ,have you just named your MINI or have you named other makes of car :computer:

Unlucky not to name your racecar.

My 2010 one was Keira (named by previous owner / Craig Noble and its unlucky to change it)
2012-2013 was Sabrina
2014 was Selene

Haven't decided the new one yet.

Steph's 2011-2013 racer was Bruce, 2014 one was Sara.

Her old road car was Oscar, her JCW is Monte.

Davy's right, I have named all our cars.. There was Doris the C3. MINI's were Maxi (I just liked Maxi the MINI), Copper (self explanatory), Mac (scottish like me), Roly (from the reg) and The Bairn (the much debated GP, so called as he is so pampered and not allowed out without a responsible adult, we've yet to find one..). Love naming the cars lol [emoji12]

I reckon it's more popular with the girlies to name cars.

Only a 'big woose' of a bloke would do such a thing :rolleyes: :smilewinkgrin:

1499 was originally called "Wee RABB", because it's small and I was dechroming it with red and black touches so it was a "Red And Black Beasty".
After Rob printed a "Jedwards GP" A4 sheet for the windscreen at Uttoxeter 2013, which caused MUCH hilarity, I played with the thought for a while and added my red fetish to the mix and "Redward" was born.
That name has stuck with it ever since.

Hughly behind the times, but here goes! My beautiful JCW black and red roadster is called Bella. My middle name is Lucia, Italian/Spanish for Lucy. Bella is Italian/Spanish for beautiful. Bella was the female lead in Twilight, human turned vampire, my Bella can change roof up/roof down. In keeping with the vampire theme Vampires like the dark but also blood, my Bella is black as night with blood red details/trim!
Its only ever been my MINIs that I've named cos they're wee characters! :)

I don't name my cars, but dependant on how it has decided to let me down again, it often get called a number of varying and rather unpleasant names.
