Car naming

[Dave SRod]

Pulled up behind a small car today. . .
The name on the tailgate read - e up! And as my mind wandered I thought - great, that small cars are now being built in Yorkshire. . . they could do with the jobs 'oop norf'
Only to realise I was now sat behind an electric version of the VW UP! Maybe there's the e-go! out there as well!! That would suit someone I can think of; who shall, for legal reasons, remain nameless. . . !

Once saw a red Renault van with VIN ROUGE on the baclk.

 

[Degsy]

The Citroen C15 van when it first came out ran an advertising slant with Van Rouge and Van Blanc, as they were only available in red or white.

Still a member of the 2cvGB club, and everyone seems to give their cars a 'name'. Never saw the point in it myself. I don't call my bikes names . . . unless they won't start.

The Vauxhall Nova was called something else in Spain..... as No Va literally translated to Spanish means "doesn't go".

I know Vincent owners also name their bikes....it never caught on with us as too many had the same name...."you bastard!"

The triumph acclaim translated as sieg heil in europe swiftly changed to the triumph civic i think but not sure

The Mitsibushi Pajero translates to "wanker" - i thought they were called something else in the UK but a few got through

They were scalled “Shogun” in this country.
