Don't see a problem with naming vehicles, might be daft but who cares, nice to add a bit of human character to what essentially is machine...
Incidently, my ride was named after the mare the famous highwayman, Dick Turpin. A bit of local history, he lived up this way for a while before he was rumbled and imprisoned in York dungeons, he finally met his fate at the gallows on York racecourse...
So there you go, Black Bess, my iron horse

(Don't condone what Turpin did for a living BTW!
