    Mine is called 'The Mistress'

    Costs a lot of money, and demands a lot of attention!

    My 850 is called Teapot, on account of a crack in the expansion tank & odd looking S70 spoiler like a handle at the back

    S70 is called the Black Shark after the helicopters of the same name

    My Renault 5 is called Bougie.....someone said it looked like a snot/bogie due the colour in one of the pics, 'bougie' is 'spark plug' in French
