Default Does your Ford have a name

Just thinking about a name for mine,its not as easy as it sounds so i thought i would ask what people on here have named their pride and joy.Also if you had your car taken from you in the form of an accident or stolen etc how much would you miss it,i know i would miss mine real bad(just cause of the small things you do to them that makes them differant from other Fords).

I call my TX Territory "Tex"
My last car an Escape was called "bre" (bree) it was a Big Red Escape
Other previous cars have been something to do with the number plate, the Gold Pulsar had the letters BZE in the plate, so it was called "Buzz"

I used to call my seam-welded bare metal respayed rolling shell "Elle" or "Elle the shell" because for years she was just "the body". And a very beautiful body at that, just like Ms McPherson.

Mine is referred to as Sinister because it has custom plates that are an abbreviation of that.

It started out when my Yr 11 English teacher said I was the most sinister person she'd met, after reading an essay I did comparing some childrens book to the story of a serial killer.

So my car got the plates, and I got the tatt of it in chinese.

Felicity called the '76 effy when she used it to tow the horse float 'TODD' -> Truck Of Death & Doom. She didn't like it much.

I asked my kids a while back what we should call my GT-P whenever I eventually got one. My 6 year old son was friends with a girl at his school named Karli and suggested that. 2 years later I got my car, so she is called Karli.
Cheers,
Greg.

I've called my TE50 Tertia.

It is the the Latin meaning for the third - my car being a T3, and the TE being the first 2 letters at the start of Tertia works in well.

My EA is called Kylie

She's getting old but still looks good, although there have been rumours of plastic surgery to freshen up her appearance a bit. Also she's had a few hits along the way!

My EF was Henry (being my first ford) replaced by an AU I named Edsel (son of Henry). Not terribly imaginative. Not sure I could call my next ford William though
