Naming your Audi
 
Hi guys
Ever since I've owned a car, I've always named them according to the registration letter; ie B-reg = Besty (the most popular car name), or in my case, E-reg = Eric (my last car!).
Now I know that Coxy has an Audi called RALF due to the fact that his car plate spells out the name, but there are many reasons for naming a car, so I'm curious to know what names members have given to their Audi's and why please?
So, who's up first? ;)

2.0 100 avant is 'the mother ship' because it's for her to move kids mainly!
2.2t 100 avant is 'the turbo bus' ..because it's kind of like a bus..
2.7t allroad doesn't have a single name, but has been called many. Mainly foul and exclaimed at high volume.
Van is 'the iveco bus' .... Because it's an iveco.. and kind of like a bus..

Maybe should buy a car that isn't like a bus, for a change.

Oh aye, 2.3 100 avant is 'the boken caghrr' according to the two year old, because the front end is on the 2.0.:lol:

Out of simple need to differentiate them, I confess to giving them names of sorts. Otherwise, I'm not that sentimental. I think.

Lago blue V8- toxic toad.
Silver V8- I initially called it PITA Pain In The Arse. However, it often gets referred to as Guppy (G...APP)
Black V8- black Bess.
Titan grey 100. (Unnamed)
UR- referred to as 'the beast', 'the heap' etc.


I really need to get out more.:nono:

That's nails on a black board to me!
There's an utterly harmless old fella who whenever he passes the driveway (the UK address, that is)*, insists on talking cars. I'm obviously interested in cars, and he has an Almera, or some other piece of crap that I wish they'd never made. And he always pronounces Audi as 'Ordee'

I go all Patrick Bateman.





*if he turned up here! I'd know I've gone nuts!:yikes:
