"Men think of cars as a part of themselves"

Although it is about cars I thought this loked vaguely relevant to the discussion. I certainly tend to feel that my bike is a part of me, and if I don't feel that way, ther is something wrong.

Men love cars 'because they're part of them' | Uk News | News | Telegraph

My Honda Pan European is "the Pan".
My Ducati 900ss was "the project" until I admitted I'd never find the time or the money to restore it, and now it's "why did I ever sell the project?"

Yes it's that dangly part - vehicles act as phallic symbols.

Time for bed..... Boing!

Most of the vehicles I've ever owned have been named after characters from the Magic Roundabout. My first car was called Florence, my VW camper was called Ermintrude, the only exception to that was the VFR I've just got rid of, my girlfriend named it Zippy................
Picking up my new Wee Strom tomorrow(Yay!) and its already been named Dylan ( Hippy rabbit or nasal folk genius......... you decide.)

I also call mine 'bitch' as I can ride it all night and with the lights on!
