My friend calls his 348 Julie. She got the name because her original number plate looked vaguely like the word Julie (if you nearly closed your eyes and stood far enough away!). She now has a Private Plate: 348 GO J When they go on holiday we get postcards from Andy, Jane, & Julie. Wonder what the postman thinks? | ||

My son calls my F-car the horse car so when I take it out I say " it's time to take the horse out of the barn for a little run" I think it must be a philly because anything that temperamental has to be a female! | ||

I've never referred to any guitar, bass, nor car with a proper name. I understand the jist, but there's a few thoughts about it, at least which goes through my mind when trying to come up w/a name - what happens if you date a girl by that name, and something doesn't work out? then you'll look down upon that. I'd rather just call my bass (which is a Tobias basic 6 and over 10 years old now) "the wife", its basic enough. | ||

A quick google search answered that, there is indeed a Lola Ferrari. SHE"S TOPLESS in the picture though to warn people ahead of time. Ridiculous, I can't help but laugh. http://www.loloferrari.co.uk/ | ||

I vaguely remember some lady named Lola Ferrari, I think it sticks out in my mind because the woman I'm thinking of has massive jugs. | ||

There is some actress named Ferrari. I know, because I've got my TiVo set to find anything Ferrari. Sometimes obscure movies turn up with the actress Ferrari. | ||

Positively a "she." One of my car mags from 77 or 78 that did a clever review on the 308 GTS answered the question, "Which is better--a Ferrari or a Mistress?" Needless to say, they concluded that a ferrari was better (a Ferrari would *never* reveal your intimate relationship to your wife or girlfriend!). On a different note, I would never put this much care and attention into, nor would I put up with the constant 'fussiness" of, anything other than a female. And as for the Germans calling their Ferraris "He," well... Not much I can say about that ;). | ||

Oh, gawd, yes. Only a female will give you this much grief and you'll continue to put up with it. (err, HER.) | ||

It just seems that it would sound peculiar for a guy to take his Ferrari in for service and ask the service writer to "Check his rear end." Or "I got on him last night and blew him out." I just have a problem with calling a car, Ferrari, "He." JMO | ||

It's interesting... I noticed this year that many Germans refer to their F-cars as "HE". | ||

Italian grammar diferentitates between male and female gender. As it turns out, cars (and Ferrari's are no exception) are of female gender. It is therefore most correct to refer to your Ferrari as female. Where your f-car will differ from every female I have ever known is that it will not care what name you call them. | ||

Hi F-chatters, I don't know if this has ever come up but when you talk or refer about your F-car do you address it by name or nickname or as a male, female, or ???? Everytime I tell my wife I'm taking my car out for a ride I tell her "I'm taking Black Beauty out for a ride" and she knows what I'm talking about. Does anyone else have this quirk or am I weird?  |
