Ok so I appreciate this post night result in you all thinking .... who is this new wired Brit? But, I'm going to out it out there anyway  :)

How many of you name your cars or is it just me and my family? Lol

I picked up my i30 yesterday and 'he' (yes he is a he, by virtue of HIS name) has been named Hagrid by my son who is a massive Harry Potter Fan. 'Hagrid the Hyundai' kind of rolls off the tongue anyway  :lol:

If any of you are equally as mad as me I would love to hear your names and any reasons for them!  :goodjob:

I've nicknamed one of mine "The Tractor" 2008 CRDi manual, why? because it's approaching 400000 km and has a tow ball. Anything with that capabilty, longevity which runs on diesel must be a bloody Tractor!

I love Frugal Firty’s proven 4.1L/100km, so the name stays on strong. :victory:

We had a bit of a naming comp on here for my first of four i30s. It was moonlight blue colour as per the 1st car in my signature. We settled on Luna. Haven't bothered naming any of the others.  Not that I haven't been happy with them.

@tw2005 I had a audi 80 diesel, anno 1986, that was called "Traktorn" because of the thick black smoke, noise and acceleration speed. :)

All my other cars have just been the s80, or the merc etc. The i30 is usually called Hyndan or plainly itrettin. Rather boring... Now my computers have all been named after Neptune's moons. :)

Get them named then Dazzler! They might be feeling unloved if nameless  :wink: :happydance:

My daughter christened my FD "Hoondai" because of the way I drive.  :happydance:

PS.
She drives the same way.

I've taught her well.  :goodjob2:

Her Accent was *** SNF when first registered.
So it became "Snuffy"  It has since been re-registered in the NT and again backmin Qld but it's still "Snuffy"
