Now I know why some lads give their cars a womans name.

Very good Graeme. Both my 4/4s said "take me"
I was going to call mine "Black Beauty"............after that comment I think I'll chose a girls name! :shocked2
Don't be hasty. At the risk of raking up history and goodness knows as a republican Welshman I have no truck with the 'Paint the Empire pink' brigade) but you might want to think on this before you disregard the name
In the later part of the Great War, perhaps the most successful squadron in the whole of the British Forces was the RNAS @Black Flight' commanded by Raymond Collishaw DSO DFC- a Canadian. They Flew Sopwith Triplanes each of which was named after a 'Black ' character. Collishaw flew "Black Maria", Ellis Reid flew "Black Roger", John Sharman was in "Black Death" and Mel Alexander flew "Black Prince".. so I wouldn't be too hasty to bin 'Black Beauty'
Cheers
