Just some other I'll add...

Corolla - Wooz. There's a story behind this. I was at the Brisbane Motor Show this year and was approaching the Mazda stand. As soon as I set foot on their display, I got a catalogue, some mints (which are really strong) and a sticker which said Zoom Zoom. When I got home, Mum took the sticker and placed it on her car, upside down. Hence Wooz instead of Zoom.

Courier - No nickname as yet

XF - There are a few, none appropriate for posting.

EA - Same as the XF

My g/f named my ED 'Barney' because it looks really purple in bright sunlight (it's cobalt). My old car was just referred to as 'the skyline' and also 'the shitheap' or 'f**cking c**t' just before i sold it.

My XR6 is named "Sinister", cause I have custom plates. :evil3:
Nothing to do with the car (at the moment) I just liked the sound of the word.
Apparently in some dictionaries it is listed as meaning "threatening evil", maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You don't know until you try. :

Our little fiesta is called Hotwheel...the kids gave it the name...the car before was a 1.3 Barina called Rocket cause when you had the A/C on it went nowhere... We had and Alfa Sprint called Alf and we also had a 166 called Cow because of the leather...

The names I have for my little Escort are not exactly original, but oh well...

When it's running well and I'm happy with it, it's "The Esky" - owned by The Maddestman, hence the "the", and Esky -> Escort, also because Eskys are cool, and so is my car...

When it's not running well, it's "the b*tch", which needs no explaination I think.

He's called Huw, on account of his rego plate. Not very exciting, really...
