What's in a name....?

So, anyone else besides me; hasn't given their Mini a name?

I love my Mini. I have a passion for cars....
I've been called a lot of names because of my cars = (short explanation/long story), but.....
I don't think I've ever actually given any of my cars a "name".

I don't give my vehicles name.
Other people have, like POS, BGJ (Big Green Jeep), etc but not me.

I don't name my cars either. To each their own but I don't get it.

You are collectively missing the joys of anthropomorphism.

Cheers,

I'm missing nothing.
It's all good
However I will quote Arnie Cunningham, from the mastermind of John Carpenter's quintessential depiction of Anthropomorphism (Christine); "Oh man there is nothing finer than being behind the wheel of your own car..."

Or as I would put it - There is NOTHING more exhilarating than being behind the wheel of a Mini. Nameless or otherwise
I think Dave Edmunds eloquently said it best: "When I'm disconnected from the driving wheel, I'm only half the man I should be". My definition of Anthropomorphism.

I wanted to name my daughters R52 JCW Lisa because she is so high maintenance but I was overruled.
