Naming your Audi

leggy · 14-01-15, 07:45 PM

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?

Toxic toad?

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.

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.

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!
