    A red with white top 2004 mini cooper called Mr. Q. He is British, you see?

    We still have him, but he is now with my parents. We love him too much for selling him, even with his old age (though he had a heart / motor transplant a few years ago).

    my husband's current car has the nickname "the dinosaur" because it somehow survived the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction. i wish I could say it was still running fine but it's currently in the garage after overheating yesterday. Not sure exactly what's wrong with it this time, old age probably!

    my previous cars had names but I can't remember what they were. they were based on the letters on the number plate so if I saw their number plates I'd probably remember the names.

    My first car was called "Lurch", partly because it was as slow moving as Lurch from The Addams Family but mainly because it lurched round corners.

    My previous one was "Panzerwagen", got that name after I was driving home at night in a snow storm, hit some ice under the snow, spun twice and crashed into a concrete wall, smashed the damn thing and yet was still able to start it and continue driving. I got away without as much as a bruise, when I checked the car next day in broad daylight I couldn't believe I was whole, much less that the car was still driving.

    My very first car was a lime green 1979 Holden Torana. I named him Kermit.
    My second car was a blue Mazda 323 which I named Annie.
    My third car was a silver Holden Barina which I named K-Kasey (number plate had KKC)

    My current car is a black Toyota Rav4 CV Sport. He is KITT because he is my 'nightrider'. :tongue:

    My twin sister's car is a black Volkswagen beetle and she also named him Kit. Mine is a white beetle and I call him Optimus Prime!

    My first ever car (black Toyota Celica) was called Ninja - stealth and speed.
    My third car was called "McLaren Honda" - named because of the dominant F1 race team at the time (when Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna would disappear after the first corner, and noone would see them again - until they were lapped!)

    My current car has the much less flattering name of "Wreckinho", which reflects its current state ....

    about 12 years ago we had Joe Pink.
    From a weird thought train...it was a Geo Prism. Geo sounds like Joe. Prism to Dark Side of the Moon album cover to Pink Floyd.
