What will you call your 1series??

WAY · 03-13-2008, 10:35 AM

Some of my cars of late have had names. My Golf GTI is called White Rabbit, the Aston Martin is called Martine, and the 911 is called Sally after Sally Carrera. Not sure what to call the 135i yet...will have to see her before I decide!

MZWIE · 03-13-2008, 10:52 AM

^^ It appears you feel that cars are females. Interesting. I've always thought of them as male...

WAY · 03-13-2008, 11:13 AM

Yup, mine are all girls...

stefan · 03-13-2008, 11:17 AM

I always thought there was some sort of rule that it had to be alliterative and feminine.

So.. I'm going with Bikita... as in Bikita bimmer.

imported_Maurice · 03-13-2008, 11:37 AM

I also have to spend time with a vehicle before I can think of its name. I seem to name vehicles something related to their manufacturer or model name, though. I have a KTM 950 that I have named Katie Em, for example. Will have to see what my 1er inspires.

Drillslinger · 03-13-2008, 12:23 PM

Well, my MINI is Drill Bit or DB for short, so (if I get a 135) I'll name her BB for BahnBrenner :roundel:

Spook · 03-13-2008, 01:50 PM

I do not name 'things'. This includes:
-- Toasters
-- Couches
-- Bicycles
-- Hand tools
-- Anything automotive

I do name pets. If my 1er will sit and fetch my slippers, I will name it.

ersatzS2 · 03-13-2008, 01:53 PM

Mine will be named "Your Car"

As in, "honey, mind if I borrow your car?"

JSierra · 03-13-2008, 02:00 PM

Mine will be B. M. Dub

GatoGrande · 03-13-2008, 02:36 PM

spudw · 03-13-2008, 04:29 PM

I'm going to call it Mike Har. Say it fast 5 times...

TrojanBMW · 03-13-2008, 06:29 PM

I'm naming mine Rosa.

Cars need to have girl's names.

rdkind62 · 03-14-2008, 03:53 AM

Cars don't need girls names. They need girls WITH names in them.

pumaknight · 03-14-2008, 04:11 AM

Mine will be called

"Dear Mother Of God.....that is fast!!!!"

Cos that is what everyone will say :biggrin:

GatoGrande · 03-14-2008, 06:12 AM

I think it goes without saying that cars get girl names... and YES for sure it might look good with a girl in them too, lets face it, once you are behind the wheel of the 1er, it will be hard to focus on anything much more than the 1er!

TwinturboBMW07 · 03-14-2008, 07:03 AM

Mini M3 lol I will prolly just call it perfection

Yoot1 · 03-14-2008, 07:18 AM

Sally's 911 is Sally Carrera and ironically, it is Blue as well and now she has Sally Carrera key fobs, patches, and other things. Our other car names are maybe less imaginative -- Mostly the names are also in my signature block.

911 - the White Car (aka Trackster)
Civic SI - LGC (little green car aka Mini Trackster)
Avalanche - Blingmobile (no spinners, but 20 inch chrome wheels)
Audi - the Audi

135i can't be 'the White Car' because we have already used that.

former car names:
SCCA ITB Volvo - the Yellow Peril
tow vehicle - the Green Latrine (after a famous dining spot at Utapao, Thailand)
