Seeing as "Marvin" is at FCSS atm, and there is an "LEmental" that I know of, who else has named their coop?

I can only assume they chose Colin because it began with C!
No idea apart from that.

One of my co-workers has a cat called Colin. Her boyfriend picks Colin up and sticks his head in the feeder so Colin's chip opens the lid, rather than push the button designed for that purpose...

F**king piece of s**t was it's name about half an hour ago grr Usually just 'The Coupe' or car.

Popped to put some air in the tyres and as the screenwash eventually just dribbles out and as the water was next to the air, I thought I'd pop the bonnet and stick some water in the washer tank as I can hardly see through the screen.

The bonnet would not open at all grr It's done it once before, but then it opened, but it wasn't having any of it earlier.
Luckily, not many people around and hopefully, no cctv watching what looks like a woman who can't open a bonnet, not a woman that owns a cool Fiat, just struggling with a Fiat related problem! laugh

Between that and the dipped beam adjusters having their own little up and down disco dance....... laugh

Need to start making a list laugh

Since I've owned it my Coupe has been ''The Fiat', the name has stuck despite the purchase of a 500X, which is owned by the wife and named by me as 'Your Fiat'.

I call mine, 'the 20 valve'

This comes from years of having that engine.

This, despite the fact that I in fact own the VIS, which doesn't remotely have the same romanticism about it,

I didn't aspire to own another 'VIS'- I did aspire to own another 20 valve...

(Incidentally- if anybody knows of a Marea for sale: please PM me; NOT the white auto on Autotrader)

Snoopy. I just got in it once and was singing a silly song (as you do) and called it 'Snoopy the Coopee' while petting the dash. It just stuck...

Nothing that deep I'm afraid, I tend to go with a name that has the same initial as the make, Felicity was the only name with F as it's initial that grabbed me, plus I'm a fan of DC comic TV shows (Felicity Smoak) so it kind of fit.

We've always named cars and bikes in our family. I was looking at Italian baby girl names but then when I got him, the sound of the fan after a long run reminded me of Marvin the paranoid android and the name stuck. smile
