Do your cars have names and can you help find a name for my Golf Cabriolet.


Recommended Posts

I’ll start it of with the Green V5 Golf that’s nicknamed Kurt after the German aeronautical engineer Kurt Tank as the registration has TNK in it.

Then theres the Black Z3 which is know as Peanut it’s got KP in the registration and the Red E36 is known as ASBO as it’s got a burbling exhaust, so I keep getting shouted at to slow down by an old Lady around the corner from me even if I’m driving on tick over or rolling it down the hill at 10mph  lol.

There’s also  the Yellow Mini that’s also known as Sylvia, as it’s got my mums initials on the number plate.

So can you think of a name for this one for me.

If it's anything like my Golf was: "You ungrateful fucking bastard"

X978 NBW ... Not Black, White ...Michael Jackson

Mike? Mickey? Thriller? Bad? Smooth (Criminal)?

NBW = No Bloody Way!  = Averse?  Aversion?  The Reject?  Runt?

I think we need more clues.  How has the experience been for you, owning this Golf?  I'm not a fan of a Golf, which is why my first thoughts lean to the negative, but if you're enjoying it then we'll have to think in other directions.

Many years ago a colleague proudly showed off his new white MK1 Golf GTI convertible with a white roof and white interior. It was immediately nicknamed Barrymore by another colleague because it was 'all white'. We never saw the car again.

Isn't our Amelia the car naming expert?As for naming cars,I think we should follow the farmers and not give a name to anything they're going to eat! Obviously we're not going to eat our cars,but life doesn't always end well for them.

It’s going to be Mental Micky due to the electrics playing up when I first bought it, as the drivers window  would only go down occasionally and it would randomly cut out.

I think Micky is a great name for it, thanks so much.

This is pisstaking and therefore very funny. Giving a car a name based on arbitrary letters in the number plate is mental illness.

I had a mk 3 golf called Boris - as in Boris the sneaky fucking Russian (from Snatch) because it was terribly unreliable and kept trying to kill me.  It had a suitably run down air about it as well and despite being scrapped was recommissioned and put back in the road by the yard I sold it to. 

Trust yours is better!

Maybe a nice sturdy Germanic name like Hans, Seb, Karl, Fritz, Bernd, Stefan or Verner?

It's got a name. It's Golf.

If you had more than one Golf then you might need some clarification for example Black Golf?

My cars have names, Mercedes and Hyundai. So I would have called it Golf or Hitler's Revenge which is what I should have named the Caddy I owned.

No, I don’t name cars. How about “the golf”.

I don't name my vehicles. Never have and never will. I can often be found underneath them cunting them (and indeed the whole nation they were manufactured in) off so will second ungrateful german bastard.

Only owned the one Golf (mk3 NA diesel) and to be fair it was a good car. If memory serves me right i think it even made a sale rather than the bridge when we were gifted a Seat Leon of much lesser years and miles. Turns out the Spanish pricks bought little to the party with the german bastards but thats another story.

The mk3 was solid and dependable and ran on either cherry or used veg oil depending on which one I could get for free at the time. Don't remember any horror just the usual wear and tear and nuggets blocking the fuel filter when i didn't strain it properly.

NBW niggly broken window.

Harks back to the aforementioned Leon of a similar vintage to this. Haha, have just remembered going full spaz and stamping on the door card after the umpteenth time of having them off trying to sort the windows. Scared me for life that. Lecky windows still give me the fear.

Only ever named one car.

A mk2 cavalier Cdi Auto Hatch

Called it Katie.

Because the reg started C80. 

If I were to name my current car. An Astra GTC I'd call it Pig faced Lard Arse.
