*ping* Dervy and Vamp - It's official...

Shit! I've missed Top Gear yet again.

At least I've got my car back together again ready for work tomorrow though.

I'm definitely with you on the first point about guys naming cars. Gerhardt my Mercedes agrees too...;-)

I don't name my cars, I assign them their own unique identity. ;)

OTOH it seems like it's just a re-run of stuff in the magazine. Clarkson was going on about Riuchard Hammond looking gay when he drove the Citroen Pluriel and rattled on about how soft-tops make any man no matter how macho look like a girl.

Nah, he just mentioned it cos someone in the audience said they had one (an MR2), and they were talking about naming cars.

i don't call my car anything really apart from 'me car' when refering to it.

plus i don't remember seeing my MR2 on the gay-iest cars list but can remember something called an SL55 being on there :)

missed top gear myself? anything interesting on it? why can't they repeat it later in the week GRRRR

I think, Bertha, Barry, and Behemoth (aka Beryl) would have something to say about that, as would Basil, my GF's Fabia (the first car she has named.

It seems to be a Skoda thing, you own one, and it becomes a friend. The Saab got named to carry on the tradition, and it is definatley a friend.

And in other news Dan405 is quoted as saying:

My 19 was known as "the spluttery bastard" and the clio "little divil"

The micra was called "s**te" :)
