Mine is Prospero.

My first-ever car was called Miranda ("she who is worthy to be admired"), due to whisking me up the M6/M74 in record time one Christmas ever just after I got her.  Only a 1.1L Fiesta, but a nice little runner.

The second was definitely a boy (an XR2) and became Ferdinand to match.

The third, the Peugeot 306 GTi-6, was Ariel, because he was absolutely magic.

This is my fourth-ever car, and continuing the Tempest theme he has to be Prospero.  Well, he's magic too, but much more grown-up magic.

BTW, gorgeous, isn't he?

Err... we just refer to ours as 'la Golf', as opposed to 'l'Espace' or 'le Transit', our other 2 vehicles.

I've always found 'the car' sufficient...and despite there being several I could be referring to, people always seem to know what I mean.
The only time that seems to change is when it breaks - then I find 'that piece of sh!t' works for me.

I have adopted a similar stratergy and quite simply named it... "my car". Should this not identify it, its second name is used... "that one there you blind barsteward".

Accompanied by an outstretched arm, pointing finger, and look of disgust, I hope?

I usually find a condascending roll of the eyes, and a long - overly exagerated - sigh works a treat too.
It says 'thicko' without using any form of verbal communication.

I personally thought that was quite amusing from Kev,afterall it was you who said you used your GTI for shopping trips.  So he was being funny not arsey.  If I say to you to "lighten up" I'm not being funny, just laugh it's meant to be fun this forum you know!!! :laugh:

A Mk6?

have you ordered a mk 6 GTI?  if you haven't please bore off.  and well done on owning a GTI for 13 years.  is that the same car or have you changed?  you must be an expert on GTI's then.    i bow down to your superior knowledge.  if only you showed said knowledge in your posts eh.

by the way don't you have some more shopping to do?  are you secretly a tesco delivery man?  that would make sense.

Besides, maybe you could point me to the bit in the rules that says it's your forum and only Mk6 owners with your premission can post?
I'm struggling to find it...

Hah!
Nice try...

Go and earn more so I can buy another S3/GTI/911/vRS that I bought whilst keeping the GTI...the same GTI that will leave you sitting on any backroad you care to point it at.
I never said it was standard...


Another fine example of assumption...you make yourself look more stupid by the second. Keep it up...

"bus replacement service"

 :grin: Great idea. Everyone should have one so we can get rid of the sodding buses, bus lanes, bus stops, queues of sad looking people standing at the side of the roads, etc....

To keep on topic, I call my car 'the car'.
