My HZ Pano got the name "George". It had to be a bloke's name as I decided I'd prefer to be driving a male car

and also the first Panelvan I saw I was living in "George St". There a quite a few more reasons for the name George, but I won't bore everyone .

My cars have all had names, but most pretty boring and unimaginative.

I feel really left out after reading this, I have never named any of my car's.

my wife named our EK after her mother, in memory there of(Margaret) but all our other cars are given descriptive titles......the van is 'the sinbin', the holden adventura is the 'wagon', the jackaroo is the 'truck', and her merc GL 350 we named 'the ship' (Its bloody big with voice-tronic and all the bells an whistles)oh yeah.....we call the harley "the hog"

I call my cars various things that I won't type here when I'm working on them, but no actual names as such.

Ahh yes......Back when I worked in busy workshops with a lot of pressure, we came up with the PPM index.(profanities per minute) It was used to describe the degree of difficulty according to the mechanic's skill level for each repair job. Real hard, dirty jobs usually had a high PPM, while routine service work had a low index. Factor in hang-over or weather related temperature adjustments and any other condition that can affect the task. It did lighten the arduous afternoons sometimes.
