I notice many of you have named your Triumph, such as Dale has named his "Crypty". I have only named one of my cars in the past, a highly modified stealthy looking black TR7 that I called " Area 7" in a pun of Area 51.
I am open to suggestions on good car names.
IF the name is 5 or 7 letters long I may get a personalized plate with the name ( if the name is available ). In South Carolina 7 letters is the max, 6 letters is offset funny on the plate and looks dumb, but 5 and 7 letters is balanced.
I was thinking 1SHEET but it's 6 letters and has nothing to do with cars, and by Friday no one will remember it's meaning.
Suggestions?
 
Let's see..I've used ..
Buford-'49 Ford F-1 (buick powered Ford)
Seabiscuit-'39 Ford Standard..a dark horse like the famous racehorse
Mojo-My Hemi powered '56 F-100
TR-Mater- My '54 TR2 (say ter-mater) cuz it's red.
 
Good start, I forgot to put my 1 idea in. I saw a MGC in Mississippi or Louisiana with 6APPEAL on it's plate.
Another is TRIPIN but only 6 letters.
 
MY 8 is painted a copper color and some where along the way it picked up the name "Penny" as in 1 cent.

How about "TRSEXY" or "TRSIXY"

You're right, my wife wouldn't let me do it.
 
What about BRTIDEA because at some point inowning and maintaining these cars everybody feels like this has been a really bright idea.
 
Well, if its a southern car and it gives you trouble sometime, you might go for "Beelzebubba"!

just reread your post and see you need it limited to 7 letters, but I still like the name..
 
Brosky may be able to pull off the TRSEXY but not me, I'm the anti-sexy.
 
The wife named my TR3 Skinny Butt.

more ideas:
LILRED6
FUNSUN6
NOTMG
6INATER
YAHBABY
TRIXY
Someone in our area has a yellow xke with the plate BANANA
 
I refer to my car by name, refer to my dog as my puppy and I am divorced and single, no correlation there...
 
I call the GT6 "The Triumph" or sometimes "The GT6".
I call the Neon "The Dodge" or sometimes "The Neon".
 
I still just call the Tr6 the "little car"....


I had some choice names for my GT6 & MGBGT $%@^%@%$&!!!
 
Well, I was thinking ANIMIS OPIBUSQUE PARATI, but you'd need a couple more license plates. So how about:

TRCOCKY or COCKY-6

(I don't usually use names for my TR, except when the wrench slips off the nut, or a washer falls into the starter, or a screwdriver shorts out the battery , or ...)
