Mike -
They do out here in fly-over land. Mine are Judder (J2), Charlie (TD), and
McGoo (MGA). I often thought that after "Charlie", I'd need two more called
Up, and Di. Then I'd have "Up", "Chuck", and "Di". <g>

Andy: I note that your cars have names. I purchase from UK several years ago
my
YB sedan. It came with a name "Plum". Friends that have bought cars in the
UK
also found that the cars had names. Although not unheard of, it is not my
experience for us Yanks to name our cars , at least not in my area. Maybe
this
is a new thread, but I am curious if this is a regional thing. When I mean
names, I mean real names like yours, not the names that are slang or worse,
the
things we call our cars when they are driving us nuts.
