Mine varies between 'The Beast' and 'The Jaaaag' (pronounced in the Clarkson manner).

 

"The Unicorn" - because it took me three years to find an (affordable and local) XKR coupe in green on tan.

 

Lizbeth.......

 

My grandson calls her "papa's race car" or the "jag-u-air"

 

My toddlers call it the CAT car, and they repeat over and over that they want to go for a ride in it, which I eventually relent to for 5 minute 10 mph stints in the neighborhood.

Client of mine who names her Porsches and always gets appropriate vanity plates, named mine "Black Beauty"

 

"Layla", because I was listening to Clapton on the test drive.

I like and agree with "Money Pit" though ... that's a good second name.

 

I call him "JagX"...say it really fast for desired effect of something special or ask for jacks . Originally called it Green Lantern, but the movie failed to live up to my car's expectations

 

Nigella, bc the X100-era XK is both voluptous and concupiscent.


Watch the video and you'll understand.

 

I don't call it anything but I do call the car cover (there to stop the farm cats sharpening their claws on the soft top and the swallows crapping on the paintwork) quite a lot of things.
How an apparently simple piece of cloth can show such malice and ingenuity on removal and morph into such unrecognisable shapes on replacement never ceases to amaze me.

 

A name I carried over from the PO and rather like! Not like... LURVE.

(Insert hot photo of Kate Middleton here, hard to do from iPad)

 

But usually this actually.

 

"Miss Kitty"---Remember Gunsmoke---she could handle the "bad boys"

 

XKR- "Silver Surfer"
XJR-100- "Black Beauty"

 

Roflmao!! So true!

 

I too call it The Jag, also a la Jeremy Clarkson.

Not sure what my wife calls it as it is usually mumbled under her breath. Once it sounded like "The Other Woman."

 

Black Convertible, tinted windows, bad boy look - of course it's the "Batmobile"

 

Dare I say this?
Yes! Our cars are like nigella! And sometimes I would like to choke my car!!
Seriously! I LOVE Nigella! And any man that could lay a hand on her is NO man!
She's a British national treasure and all we have is Paula dean!! Lol

 

Funny. Most of my British friends call my car a Jag. I just can't. My father collected cars when I was growing up and he always said it a JAGUAR and the other car is a "PORCHE" with an uh at the end.
That always stuck with me for some reson.

 

Skunk Slayer
Deer Destroyer
Ghostbusters

To be continued..

 

Kermitt (going with the green theme).
To someone else it's the Jaaaaaaag. Thanks Jeremy Clarkson.
