Had no choice, I fell for the far too often - "saw something on the number plate" & RO51 became Rosie before I'd even got to the dealer to look at the car... :rolleyes:

Well I remember Renault had a sales advert on TV for the first Clio's, with the tag line "What's yours called". About the same time Bobby Davro had a show on TV on Saturday tea time and he made a spoof of this Renault ad as follows, Bobby sitting in a Clio cranking the engine which doesn't start, he cranks it again and again and it won't start. He punches the steering wheel and shouts Ba$t88d!. And then the voice from the Renault ad. "What's yours called" =))=))=))

Tony.

Or you could call it 'IRA'
Worked with some ex. SAS boys, one of them told me about being in a ditch for three days observing a farm house.
He loaded armour piercing, when they came out in their car, end game.

I think we should do a new thread for @Gail and do a poll to help Gail name her beautiful Zed :cool:

My daily is called Bjork because the reg is BJ**ORK.

MY Hillman is called Edgy because the reg is ****EJY

The wife's doesn't have a name cause she doesn't like it much !!!

And my Zed doesn't really have a name yet. I'll eventually gift it to my wee girl (11yrs old) and she currently has a black rabbit named Jet, so for a wee while the Zed was being called Jet2. Firstly, the name hasn't really stuck, secondly the rabbit will most likely be deed in a couple of years and so I think the car will get named on the basis of the private registration I get for it.

Unless someone wants to name it for me ?

Always happy, apart from when I'm not 🤬

Embarrassing to say but everything we own has a bloody name! Jue would name a cobweb if it was around long enough to get one! OK no laughing.......obviously everyone knows my Zed is Reggie, as in Reggie roadster, my daily driver is a Saab 9-3 twin turbo called Samantha Saab! Jue's Freelander is called Frank, even the dishwasher has a name but we won't go there! Ooooh and it's not Dave before the wise cracks start coming in! :mad::D
