My sister calls her Ferarri 328 GTS, Enzo, obviously after the founder of the Ferarri marque.
She asked what I call my MGF, I told her if I was to follow her example it would have to be Cecil after Cecil Kimber the founder of the MG marque, so I just call it the MG.

You're sister owns a Ferrari !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If she's looking for a new guy please ask her to send a picture of the Ferrari and house.

She just conned the current bloke into getting himself a Ferrari 458!

Catrina - Trophy ''F in Trophy yellow or 'Cadbury's Flake Yellow' Think iconic Cadbury's Flake advert, girl in canoe, floating under waterfall into cave. Catrina Skepper was the actress, hence...

My 'big boys toy' Mgf called Myfanwy, after my Welsh ancestry and other half wouldn't let me call either of daughters that Her Peugeot is called Peanut after reg beginning KP...........

I've tried naming my cars but it seems I'm just not into it.
A friend has a purple (Amaranth) MGF and calls it Barney after the annoying purple dinosaur. That one fits!

The old daily driver was called the red shed - but the MG has not really got a name yet. Mind you now the boss has got an MG3 when the txt's fly back and forth about taking the MG to pub I have to check which one

ahem...

Donkey... (now sold ) for obvious reasons...

Princess (because she is)...

and tomorrow we collect Madge... (racing green tf)... we'll keep her name for the mother-in-law...

Ours is named... By Sue:

Darling Belle, Belle for short ( after a song from our yoof, some 40 years ago and bestowed only upon our favourite cars over the years.)

I call the car the same when roof down driving,

but when working on her ( the car not the Wife)

the Poxy blue thing is known as ....

That *****ng vicious blood-sucking money-pit heap of Birmingham-built ****.

Which is when I come inside to get yet another Elastoplast. And a Benson. And a beer.

Then the name of the wonderful car is back to Belle when fixed and the roof is back down and driving around our Leics lanes in the sunshine.

When I bought my MGF I also had to buy a full set of tyres because out of the four that were on I had three different makes. New tyres, new shoes she got the name Imelda after Imelda Marcos who is famous for her very large shoe collection...it works for me.

Well it's become a pressing need to name the MGF VVC as it's confusing now with three in the stable so a bit of web research has been done and the newly acquired Green Mk1 VVC will hence forth be known as "Elsie" after Elsie Wisdom whom raced MG's with some success. So meet "Elsie":-

She will be staying and be fettled and upgraded and updated a bit where required.

I call mine the Green Funk Machine cause I promised myself that only Funk is allowed in it!

This means: Betty Davis style !

I feel a new topic coming up...!

My mgf is called effy
The zs is Bert! my friends think I'm crazy for naming my cars. They're clearly the loonies not me!!
