The cars we like have names.... they often take a while to settle down. The BMW 320i M Sport never had a name because I never bonded with the car. The CLC was Silvo because she had no character, but was comfortable and useful.

The C43 Coupe is Marylin, because she is curvaceous loud and sexy...

The M140 is Thumper, after the actress Trina Parkes who gave Bond a good beating in "Diamonds are for Ever.. because like Trina she is black, powerful, agile and strong and could give me a good beating if I am not careful...

The Plus 8 is Tarka after Tarka the Otter because the colour reminds me of a wet otter and she is a lot 'otter (hotter) than all other trad Mogs.
