Do you have a pet name for your car?

Happy to see that it is "man size"... 😁

Very handy if you have no friends 😁

But it's great fun to drive, like a pair of roller skates. Feels like I am doing 50 mph when doing only 30 mph and Mildred can get into the smallest of parking spaces. It leaves most 4 door saloons standing at traffic lights. 

It's a 4/5 seater but I could only get a couple of dwarfs or leg amputees in the back seats 

Great little car, with a c*nt as a driver 😊

My red Mini Cooper is called Mildred. 

My first wife had a lovely little white mini but it was killed by the IRA when they left a car bomb outside my house. It took a wheel between the eyes and died instantly.

In the 70s my mate had a 1275 mini ... But (I'll say this quietly so I don't upset anybody) he traded it in for a capri.

I used to own a Mustard coloured 2 ltr Capri in my younger day. They were the ultimate bird puller.

My classic is just called "Hako" - short for Hakosuka, otherwise nothing named for my daily driver.

In the past I've had a Capri, a 2.0gl Mark 3, followed by an Escort Mexico which I paid the princely sum of £500 for. Would be worth around 35 grand in today's money in half decent condition, possibly more. Same goes for the 3 Door Cosworth and Sapphire Cosworth I owned, but maybe not so much for the C reg Fiat Uno I ponced around in for a couple of years.

My Capri was affectionately known as "slag", because it always wanted filling up.
