What shall I call my new car?

Oooooh what a totaly cool yet cute car! Id call her Ursula, as she is obviously a girl, an old girl and she has a U in her number plate!

I replied on the twit of er. She's a beauty!

She's a beauty and looks like a Dorothy to me!

Have you checked how big "her" exhaust pipe is because he looks like a Lionel to me.

I would call her Mrs Spud.

She is fab - what is she?

Beatty (full name Beatrice) doesn't like the names that the others suggested.

? @ Luthien. Fatgirl, she's an old Austin. Cute huh? My fave suggestion so far is Dave (like that, WT?!). Will see how I feel when I pick her up. I have nooooo idea what it's like to drive an old car without power steering and doesn't go faster than 50mph. Hayullllllp! ?

She looks like a Maude to me.

Waaaaaaah @ Dave...... I pick up my new Smart tomorrow and Im calling her Dave! We could have Old Dave and New Dave!?

Oooh weird, Maude and Mildred were the first names that occurred to me too - but then the car telephoned me to say that her name is Beatrice and definitely not any other name especially not Dave.

Was going to suggest Sallie, but really like Maude. Husband suggests Suki

Mine have all been fellas (look great at first but then start emitting strange smells after a while, become unreliable and I have to get rid of them ?). For me it would have to be Steve. Steve Austin, geddit? But wait, he could run at 60mph... ?

ETA: It's not an old car, btw, it's a classic car. Got to get the terminology right or the nerds aficionados at the Austin A30/A35 Owners Club won't speak to you. ?

I think:

Sir Bonnington-Smyth

or

Mrs Pedergahst

Seem like a last name car to me.

She looks like a Myrtle to me.

Fuxy lady after her number plate.

LOL @ "smelling after a while", very good ?

Anna belle, I quite like the idea of Mrs something, that could work!

Will sleep on it and see how she introduces herself to me at the weekend. I do hope she's well-behaved, whatever her name.... ?

Bootiful car Flump, I love it.

I think she looks like a Mrs Pembleton-Smythe ?

Bootiful car Flump, I love it.

I think she looks like a Mrs Pembleton-Smythe ?

Or Hilda!!

Hmmm, Arthur. He looks like an Arthur.

Gorgeous car Flump. x

Sorry to bounce an old thread, but have just come back to it - Sparkley, as you know I was going to go with Jane Austin ? but I'm really tempted by Hilda now, that was my granny's name! ?

Two days till I get her! Argh, need to sort out insurance toute de suite!

Flump, I picked up my new car on Wednesday and Im not calling her Dave, Im calling her Daisy, as Ive bought some stick on Daisys to put on her.

Full update required when you get her please!

Looks like a Mable to me. Or Graham.

Looks like a Mavis to me.

Oscar

Welcome to the wonderful expensive worls of owning classic cars, You will soon get used to no power steering,look at me riddles with Arthritis but still able to yank Betty round corners....

Odvious names seems to be Pootle or Phebles

Betty has a broken front axle....sob sob sob...more odvious names are Bloody car,money pit etc etc

aaah I like that - Mavis Cruet maybe! ?

I dont understand the naming of cars. its an inanimate object. weird.

i am a grumpy old man though.

? Clodders - aaah bless Betty, she's a beaut. Didn't think of a Flump-related name but that's a cool idea ? I am soooo scared about driving her home, I've never driven an old car before - hayulp!

Well I agree, none of my 'normal' cars have had names, it's twee as. But this car is so over-twee it just needs one ?

You, grumpy? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo ?

Oh Flumpums, she's beautiful!

It must be a granny-chic name, Dorothy and Maude are my favourites so far.

How about Winnie, Matilda, Hilda, Greta or Felicity?

I've never named my cars but I would if I had a beauty like that. ?
