Amusing Car Names
907 - 4/2/07 at 07:30 AM

Hi All.

Stevec's post on his Fiat Clankyclunko got me thinking about this.
I find the slang names for cars quite funny, Ford Crappy, Vauxhall Shov'it, etc. I bet there's hundreds.
I suppose my Type 907 engine came from a Lotus E'clatter.


I'd particularly like to know the one for the Corsa,
as "Roger the store man" (if you'll pardon the expression) at work, is thinking of getting one.


So, any more?.... How about a list?

Not sure you'd need a funny name considering the adverts

If he gets a chav'ed up one you could always try 'does your mum know what you've done to her car?'

It's a tight fit on some people.

Thanks for the pic.

Added to it a bit. I'll pin it up in the stores. (ducks for cover)

He's getting a new one, so it's no chavmobile.
The ol' boy's getting on a bit, so maybe it's the new Wrinklymobile.

Also test drove the new Civic, say's the Corsa's better.

Cheers

Carry on with the names. It's a giggle. Rescued attachment corsa-s.jpg
