One of mine's called "the shitheap"

(so named because when I told the Leader of the Opposition about my latest purchase, she said
 "oh no, not another shitheap old Holden  ::)")

The other's called "the baitwagon"...

Too true. My daily driver FE has the plates FEC00L, which is pronounced "Faecal" when she gives me trouble ;D

The stockie is just called "the Ol' Girl".

some of my uninspiring car/bike names.

Dayo the mighty 'deo

The Doctor, DRZ400

Velo - pushbike

so at any given time I get around, by the deo, the doctor or the velo.

past includes

Suzy, GSX100

Betty, Bedford Van

I never named the wagon.. it was only ever "the wagon"

plus other nameless cars, who simply shall remain nameless.

Cheers

Ed

you assume correctly, Paul

however, the "baitwagon" could possibly have a magical allure to very young ladies...


(if they were blind, stupid, and had no sense of smell)


(of course, the above comment refers to the drivers issues; certainly not the "baitwagon's")

Have a look at this board for plenty of responses:  http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,4651.0.html ($2)

Makes for some good reading.

My first FC was named Grace as my wife loved the TV show Will & Grace and my first name is William (Simple), my current car is two tone green and called Ivy.

Nothing to hard in my naming process.

My ol girl is called "OLIVIA", my wife and daughter named it. If I had another little girl that would have been the name. SO they named the car instead.

I have a Black Grand Cherokee called "BAA BAA"      (The kids sing "Baa Baa Black Jeep" all the time)

The Astra is "Alison"

I just bought a new Jeep grand Cherokee and its called "Dan". Its named after The the BCF add with the silver grand cherokee (identical to mine) where the the bloke gets out and is "catching up with friends" infront of a mansion. The macho BCF bloke says
"THAT'S NOT LIVING DAN!!"
