Default Does your car have a name/term of endearment

Had this conversation at work today. With women of course! But just reminded me of a phone conversation I overheard whilst getting a re-map done.

Big, burly, white man van and friend walk into workshop, answers phone, 'blah blah..................I'm getting me baby booked in'. Obviously referring to his car .

Anyone else own up to this kind of thing?

My Focus ST is called Colin. Colin McRae was killed whilst it was on order... My previous car was called Fred in memory of Fred Dibnah.

My van is called Eliza Jane (the 2nd). It's my second van with EJ on the no. plate.
