unlike the 'hipped' look with standard wheels

Could be treading on thin ice Jim with that sort of remark.................

Before I get killed by the women: I wasn't saying that anybody's hips look big, OK?

I just prefer it when the wheels fill the arches a little more. Makes the car seem more 'planted' on the road.

Now, me and the missus are having an argument. And I am hoping you lot will be able to prove me right.

What Gender is a minor?

I'm convinced that minors are female. she's convinced they aren't

It does not matter what you think, you are a man so you will be wrong
from The Computer Hijacker

Our registration CFL 808C suggests the car should be BOB so it's always been a he.

Not all Bobs are male... Remember Blackadder?

Well.... "Bob"....

Phyllis is definitely a girl. Never any doubt about it. With luck she'll behave herself today and fancy a run out.

Aaah Bob! Of course how silly of me.

mines definetly a woman, cus shes graceful nd beautiful, cranky in the morning but if u treat her right she purrs
mike

female under the name of "Mildred"
but my Royal Enfield bike is male and called George
so we have "George" & "Mildred"

My Moggy is a female who is presenting as male (comfortable with things lol), in these enlightened times (Had name "Monty" when I bought him, er, her, so stuck with it). However, her curves are just to die for and she is truly gorgeous, she can be a diva at times and dare I say it has been known to be tempremental (so have I), so at the risk of causing some angst I give you Monty, who is unsure of what he/she is lol.

Anything with an engine is female.The French word for car is la voiture and is feminine.

Ideas please?

Can we have a 3rd option please? Neither.

Cars (and ships, planes, trains etc) to me are inanimate objects, machinery to do a job, nothing more. Whilst no two may be alike, they do not have personalities or feelings, gender or names.

So my vote would be for "it", if that was a choice.

I have always referred to the cars as "It" but as to the Traveller, since it is named after Oscar Blaketon, that would make it a him.

Mine has always been male and he is called Xavier. He is stroppy little so and so with a bit of a temper. He gets fed up when he is worked on for too long and has a tendency to bite and lash out resulting in me sustaining bruises and cuts. Sometimes he wakes up in a good mood and then unaccountably gets annoyed and plays up. In the 34 years that Xavier and I have been friends I have only recently successfully housetrained him so that he doesn't do his oil on the garage floor. I am not sure whether this learning will be permanent as he does tend to regress.
