for those who dont want to read the whole article i direct to the third paragraph

for those who read the whole article its a fair arguement why saving the planet isnt going to be a strong enough reason to give up the car, particulary true on pg2 talking about familiarity and control

i know i am guilty of it. my car is a "girl" and if asked I say her name is Sara - why? purely because of the work i did was done mostly at weekends, listening to radio 1 and typically during the Sara Cox show!

yes I can relate to that......I really do love my corsa b, 'ruby'..... named after the song by the kaiser chiefs. she's a 1.2 8v (at the mo) with 185,000 miles on the clock and I wouldn't give 'her' up for anything! she just needs a bit more oomph.......maybe a red top!

My car is called Rosie. Because it sounds good with 'Red Corsa'

But seriously - I adopt the same manerisms of my car. It's so slow, I turn into an old granny in the car

haven't switched to Classic FM yet.

D4 is just know as D4, and D5 is known as, well, D5.........

Same way

C4RSA was C4
C3RSA, was C3
C7RSA, was C7

Mind you, we had that black SRi which Chuckie used to call Troy. She loved her bikes too, and theres a guy called Troy Corsa. So thats that name covered.
