I don't name mine... it's a little silly, I reckon (but don't tell them that - they will get offended!)  ;D

That's a bit harsh ... we have names for our vehicles ... My Car, Your Car and The Camper.

The kayak even gets a guernsey ... The Kayak, although sometimes it gets abbreviated to Yak.

Surfboards are a whole different kettle of fish ... they get named scientifically through length and fin configuration ...ie: The 5'11" quad or the 6-0 tri.

We call ours the red car and the camper  :-[ highly original.
Now that I think of it the red car isn't even red. It's more Burgundy over champagne.
Ok ill get back in me box now!

We call the Burgundy Patrol "Grange" because when we got it a friend commented on the colour saying it looked good enough to drink..... we don't have a name for the blue challenge c/t as yet but are open to suggestions.....   The porta potti is named "Portia" as taking Portia for a walk sounds much better than going to empty the toilet (or other variations)..

When the cruiser is going well, it's 'the good girl', when it is playing up, it's 'the bitch'.
