we also had a nissan bluebird for a runaround it was named "vera" as it was the name of the old lady who i bought it off.
and my coupe has always been refered to as "the coupe" not very original but thats what its known as.

Blue AU is called : The blue car
purple BA is called : the purple car
white XF ute was called : "smoke screen" and has been revised to "lawn ornament" - its close to moving under its own power again and will prob get called something else, find out when it happens.

When I bought my white AU sedan it was affectionately named "Fat Albert" being essentially a fatter/heavier carbon copy of Swordsman88's white EF sedan - the name was given when we sat down and realised that both cars used essentially the same engine, drivetrain, rear suspension design etc.

The guys at work then got wind of the name and renamed my car with the more girly version of "Alberta". :hihi:

I always called my 68 XT Fairmont just "XT" as i could never think of a name i was happy with. But since i bought a BA XT, calling it "XT" just gets confusing to people, so i now call it "my old ford". I am still yet to think of a human name to call it, as it should have. lol
