    I've always thought it completely lame when I hear people naming their cars.

    While off last week I listened to Jenny Houston filling in for Gerry Ryan and she had some motoring journalist who was all for this awful practice.

    Top Gear presenters have the same view as me, I think.

    What do you think yourselves?

    I couldn't agree more.

    I call my yoke according to the badges.

    C4 Picasso or VW Beetle - not 'Christine' or 'Herbie' or other such rubbish.......

    My dad used to call the first car he bought new "Belladonna", because it was Italian and hadn't been driven by anyone else (and hence, in Ireland of the 1980s, driven to **** already). Don't think he's named anything since...

    If I had an Aston Martin DBS I might be inclined to give it a nickname such as Bond but while I drive a run of the mill car it gets called the car and nothing more!
