    I don't name mine, but one of my friends named it not long after I got it...don't know what it was though.
    Another friend sometimes calls it 'ponies' coz if you apparently that's what the numberplate says

    Sounds like "The Castle"

    Darryl: Steve, could you move the Camira, I need to get the Torana out so I can get to the Commodore?
    Steve: I'll have to get the keys to the Cortina if I'm gonna move that Camira
    Darryl: Yeah, watch the boat mate
    Steve: Yeah

    My old silver VX was called "Nikki"... all my mates and even my family refered to it by that name after a while... which was funny when someone not in the loop heard me talk about "Dumping the arse on Nikki"

    My current car is named "Bob"... "Bob the BEEMA".... even has an unofficial jingle to the tune of "Bob the Beema... Can we fix him?...." I think you get the idea...

    I dunno... I name my cars... as does my gf now.... her car is "Penny the Hyandai" :P

    Yea good points aye, i just like to give it her a name because I'll be keeping her for a few years, and they kind of get sentimental value if you know what i mean . . .

    it all depends...... if things are running well, it's "good car"... if I'm working on it and things aren't going smoothly, it gets called a lot of different names - none that I can repeat here though....

    In the typical tradition of aussie rhyming slang, mines got the classy name of bombadore.

    The Calais is names "Clunky"
    The Morris is named "Gorgie"

    both were named by a close friend of mine, im not sure how gorgie was created, but "clunky" comes from the sound the diff makes
