    I personally have never done this but I see a few others have gone down this road.

    So I guess the questions I want to ask are who has named their car and what is it and why.

    Never named a car myself although “Baby Min” gets thrown about when I say I’m using my car by mostly my Sister who named her 10 plate Cooper Olivia due to the plate on it within five minutes of picking it up from the oxford garage.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
