Wondering if other members give their camper and/or car a nickname?

I wanted to call our Jayco Hawk "Bob", as in the beer drinking PM, my girls wanted to call it "Rainbow Unicorn Princess" :o

We settled on "Gloria". The Patrol gets "Big Red".

We have a new Van on the way and have started thinking about a new nickname, which got me thinking about whether other Myswag members do the same? So what nicknames does your rigs have?

they bought another one later and it had only a littl ebit of rust, so they called it .... mmmm..... Notso!

I just call it "the truck"!

I have not a name for a car or a camper, once you do that, it means that you have fallen in love with it, a bad thing to do when it comes to sell it.
But if I was going to call the Holden ute something, it would be "The Ute", as for the camper.."Gal".
But, I have called my Bushman 12v fridge "Kevin", it was because the Kevin 07, gave out the money for the stimulus, he gave me $990.00, thank's Kev, the money was good but the fridge is even greater...(I think I have heard that expression, or something before...)

Ah yes the reason why the country is now in debt, Kev buying votes during the recession we didn't have. I digress...

As I went from a smart to a D40 Navara my fuel bills have increased somewhat, the Navara's benn named Freddy, after the kid in the Quik ads a number of years ago that had the catchphrase "Drink it, Freddy, drink it".

Our CT once it has been purchased will probably get some African name since it will be partially built in South Africa and me working over here will be paying for it.

It is the month of August, in a quaint, historic resort town. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

Suddenly, a tourist comes to town.

He enters the hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs.
The hotel proprietor quickly takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
...The Butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the farmer.
The farmer takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit..
The prostitute runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt for the rooms that she rented when she took her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter. At that moment, the tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, takes his 100 dollar bill and leaves town.


Although no one earned anything, the whole town is now without debt and looks to the future with optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States, Australia and British Governments are doing business today

No name for the CT yet we pick it up tomorrow and my Sorento is called Mudlark and Muddie for short cause when we went to Tassie last year for our honeymoon lan managed to drive through every puddle in the state and she was soooooooooo filthy.....lol

alnjan

My truck doesn't have an name as such but it gets called a lot of things and answered to none of them.

Jan through good hearted banter developed a bit of a persona shall we say with our group of friends, so now her vehicle, a Suzuki Grand Vitara is called the Broomstick and when the Camper Trailer is connected she calls it the Cauldron.
Cheers
