Most people with older cars give them a name. so what's your old Gertie called ?
Having just read ATC59FC's write up about his first run in Mable I thought I would throw it open and see what's out there

We have my FE wagon called FErgus and the modified FC sedan called FranCine.

Lots of cars seem to be named Effie, could never figure out why ::)
Ken
The Saul family own the one and only "Gertie".
My FE is just known as "the Ol' Girl". The modified I used to have had number plates FEC00L, and when she played up occasionally that was pronounced "Faecal" :D
Olivia

Hi Ken,
Where are the photos of this new car?
Cheers,
Graham
We have "Jean" the FC which is named after the original owner and also "Grandma" FC which is because it's Grandma's (Kathy's) car.
Other models we have are- "George" the EH, "Iris" the FB, "Craig" the Lowndes edition VF Commodore.
Our son has "Austin" the HR named after the original owner.
Mum & Dad have a VS and FX named "Bill & Ben" (the FX is named after Ben Chifley), Dad also has a VF SS Ute called "Kimba" (the white Lion).
We call ours as they are registered,
OUR FC
HER FC
HIS FC
Regards

Thanks to all for the names that you have applied to your cars.
I have thought long and hard and my grandson, coming up 6 years old suggested Bluey !
So there you go cobbers, to those in the know you will recall those 2 Aussy diggers Bluey & Curly, now all I need is a decent picture of those two cartoon characters and that's all sorted.

Haven't seen these pair for many years :'(

I haven't heard those names since school days. When my brother and I went to a small country primary school we had the nick names of Bluey and Curly. He wore a blue shirt and I had curly hair. The names stuck with us thorough primary school.
Used to see them in Australasian Post at grandma and grandpas back in the late 60s. Every Sunday morning mums and kids would have tea and bickies in the kitchen. Dads would drink Southwark longnecks on the veranda or workshop in winter.
