The Grommobile

I promised I'd post a picture of my new car as soon as I could, so here it is...the picture's a bit of a rough snap shot but you'll get the idea...



The rest of the pictures are at my blog....EDIT DUE TO BLOG UPDATES: or more specifically here

Now, have a close look at the photos, because I have a problem that I need your assistance with. I have always named my cars...its now become a force of habit, and it doesn't feel right having a car with no name Call me weird, I don't care! But the problem with this particular car is that I'm not sure what gendre it is, I have names chosen for each, I just need to decide on the gendre...

so....is it a boy or a girl?!

yoooooou decide.

VOTES SO FAR :
Boy - 2
Girl - 5
Transvestite - 4

(If Transvestite wins, there is NO WAY ON GOD'S EARTH I'm calling my car Julian )

Congratulations Grom, it's a boy!

It would've been a girl without the stripes, so it's really a transvestite. Something generic like Julian or Nat would suit.

Very nice grom, congrats!!

I'd say it's a girl, I like female cars somehow......Stephen King's Christine anyone?

I'd say ...... male, it just looks it ....,btw thanks Grom, now I'll know who's speeding the wrong way on the motorway

naming of cars is a female trait, not male. I'm horrified. it's a lovely car, perfect for a mini-adventure, but to name it? I'm worried about you...

love the blog btw!

@Grom: All you need is a spioler, side skirts and lots of mods then you can be racing around like NFS: Underground

I know of several male named cars, I thought it was boats that were always female.

Cars are always girls. "She's running in top form" "She's giving me fits" "She's the bets car I"ve had" .

Cool car, grom! I'd say it's transsexual

AR TOO. It's an it.

we give cars, ships, planes etc female attributes, but only chicks give them "cute" personal names.
