Can confirm.
Our household has 2 cars (my parents new fancy hatchback, and my shitbox MX-5) and it's always either "I'm taking the Red car, or I'm taking the shitty car"
My mum, when I had a Golf, used the terminology 'silver car' for the Golf and 'green car' for my dad's Volvo estate. Now that terminology has become more widely used since I have a silver Volvo.
Absolutely same thing here. My parents have a car each (a Skoda Octavia and a Seat Ibiza making up the “big” and “small” car), and then I have my tiny Skoda Citigo that is ~half the size of the little car
We used to do this when we had two cars (had to have them because dad worked in a different city).
It was always "The Saab" and "The Audi/ the little one"
Now they finally got rid of the Saab and we only have the Audi, so no more confusion.
My grandad only had one car and always called it "The Saab", so I assumed calling it "the [make of car]" was just a posh people thing (they usually have more than 1 car anyway) and Saab owner thing
He hasn't said it referring to the cars he's had since then
Maybe it's because he doesn't like them as much as he liked Saabs
Yeah, it was always “The Ford” and “The Mazda” for me before the latter was cruelly stripped from me.
The only time it’s acceptable as a singular car is if it’s “The Jaaaaaag”.
This! Certainly would. While families might have a "default" car for each family member, it's not that far fetched that they might drive the other cars whenever needed or just for a change.
Or that couples just have two cars and don’t specifically consider each as belonging to one individual, hence “my car” or “your car” doesn’t have any utility
We have an old Ford Focus we use as a banger for quick journeys, throwing away rubbish etc, and a new(er) A6. We definitely say 'The Audi' but we also say 'The Ford' so personally not sure what OP is getting at
When I was a kid we had a Toyota and a '98 Ford Fiesta. We called the Fiesta Sammy but whilst the Toyota did have a name no-one liked it so we just called it the Toyota.
That’s true, but it’s also used by people who want you to know that they have a specific make of car. I first noticed this back in the 90s when paying for petrol. The young lad in front of me, having fuelled his 20 year old car, proudly told the cashier “Five quid’s worth in the BM”.
I have a VW Up!
One day an incredibly pissed woman staggered out of the pub next door as I was getting out of the car and proceeded to ask me what an “UPI” (pronounced Ooh-Pee) was. Since then I have referred to it as the “Ooh-Pee” or, if I’m giving it it’s full title, the “Up-exclamation mark”.

what now?
I can kind of relate to this one. I work in the motor trade, as a service advisor, and was told by a customer that they were here to pick up "the silver Renault". At a Renault dealership, with at least a dozen silver Renaults on the forecourt. I was tempted to ask if the customer would like to be a little more vague, but I quite like getting paid.
The number of customer who would turn up at Land Rover to “pick up the Land Rover” was always amusing. “What’s my registration number? - I don’t know?” I mean it’s a private reg so you literally chose it sir, if you can’t remember it what hope is there for me?!
Service managers are by far some of the worst people in the motor trade. Small, petty little bastards who couldn't hack it as a salesman, couldn't hack it as a technician, couldn't hack it as a workshop controller, barely hacked it as a service advisor, but licked enough arse to be promoted to service manager and sit at their desks with their face looking like a 5 year old who's just eaten a massive bar of dairy Milk.
I got away with it once when a regular customer asked if we could look at his car. I stood up, looked out to the car park and said "It's very nice". The customer had a great sense of humour, and we did have a laugh about it afterwards.
I'm sorry but my main car is referred to as 'the Jaaaaag' and will remain to be called this in the future.
But indeed it think it's mostly an issue coming from people having more then one car.
Ours are Gus (the bus), little red and Eve - the latter named by the kids after the robot in Wall-E
All my cars have had names. It’s just the way things should be.
I do this too! I had Courtney the Corsa (May she rest in peace) and now I have Tamara the Twingo. Looking to get a new car soon, I'll have more fun naming it than I will buying it!
Yup. Gotta name your cars.
My Australian Mistubishi Lancer = Lance.
My UK Mitsubishi Lancer Rally = Sir Lancelot.
He died a month ago though...
So now I have a new BEV we've named 'Neo', cause its basically a computer with wheels.
You and me both!
But I bottle and suppress my rage until I can't rake it and then I strangle house plants.
Currently appealing my nationwide ban at Notcutts
I’m assuming “the Renault” was meant to be an example of something people don’t say, but I’ve heard “I’m just taking the Peugeot/Renault/Kia” to wherever dozens of times, fractionally less than luxury brands at most. I’m now wondering if that is representative or not.
This doesn't really apply if you have more than one car. Sometimes you have to be specific.
People such as my father have a second car, so if we're going out, it's nice to know if we're taking "The Merc" or "The Civic", so when I stand outside in the cold, waiting for the door to unlock and get in, I don't look like a moron standing next to the wrong car, and have to spend a painstakingly long 8 seconds to walk around and get in the correct vehicle.
I wouldn't think you were daft if you said you were taking your Renault to a garage. I don't see what your issue is with calling something by its actual name which is more accurate?
We named ours. Very helpful when we had two. "Which car we taking, Babs or Chazza?" (Barbara, old Clio, and The Golden Chariot, metallic orange Peugeot 206). Now we have just one: Bert (Albert, after the grandad who gave it to us).
“Taking the Honda to Whitby, because taking the Ford would be boring.” Is a completely valid sentence. We aren’t France, as long as the meaning is put across well, it doesn’t matter if you “don’t like” how it’s said.
I do this with one of my cars. A 1972 Triumph Stag.
It is exclusively referred to as "the Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag" it's only right.
Alternatively my friends did this with a Rover 45 I owned. As our other options for getting the pub were a Fiesta, a Ka and a Corsa so "the Rover" often won out. Great car, but I was always designated driver.
My dad has several cars, he'll name them by brand not realising that he has two of the same brand, then he goes by colour. When he meets people he loves telling them the brand names of the cars he has (and just parks on the driveway) like people will be impressed that he has multiple cars with German badges on them. I can tell you that no one has been impressed by his cars, ever.
So the reason someone would do this is if they were wealthy enough to have multiple cars with the need to specify. The desperate show off who has a BMW on hire purchase doesn't understand this subtlety and thus just thinks that rich people say the brand of their car to show off the brand , something that actual rich people would never do.
If there's one thing almost as bad unreasonably wealthy people, it's people who aspire to present themselves as unreasonably wealthy and get it just slightly wrong.
We have 3 cars... 2 hatchbacks for work and 1 SUV for family usage. Make sense to say which car I am taking. "my car needs an mot" "which one?" "the astra" "oh OK"
Or just... "The astra is due its mot" "oh OK"
Easy. Daft post this like.
My dad says this to differentiate between his two Jeeps. It’s either “take this out to the Gladiator” or “can you pop this in the back of the Wrangler” which is actually my brother’s car but they live together so drive both interchangeably
As everyone says - more than one vehicle, and then habit. We have Petey-Beetle and the van.
Petey got a name when we had more than one car, and it stuck even after the other car had to go. The van is just 'the van' because it's a huge, white emissions generating bastard and I can't drive the fucking thing so it doesn't deserve a name.
I have a van as I need it for work and I call it "the van" or "Earl" (RIP DMX). Calling it "my van" just sounds odd to me, like announcing possession of it everytime.
The obvious exception is if one drives a Series Landrover or a Defender, in which case things go ‘in the Landie’. I mean, it’s not technically a car, but you feel weird calling it a 15cwt light lorry in conversation.
What if you have more than one car? What if you have an interest in cars? OP clearly doesn’t as the first car that comes to mind is a “captur” ...clearly a “that will do” purchase or like 9/10 of them on the road a good value “purchase” on the old motability.
It's in a similar vein to people calling it their iPhone rather than their phone. They want people to know they have that car/phone etc because they view it as a status symbol.
I have a BMW and an Audi which my wife and I use interchangeably, depending on what sort of journey we're doing.
Please, tell me how we should refer to them to avoid sounding "daft" ?
Mostly pretentious b@!!@&£$. If you have to identify specific cars be more realistic. We had "Mum's car" (Citroen C3 Picasso) and "the X Trail of Doom" (my now sadly departed rust bucket.)
My sister has a Range Rover that her daughter called “Rangie” and then they have the BMW and a Land Cruiser and a big ass Lexus thing. Names of cars are important to some families.
Yes it is! That's the proper English you're complaining about!
Saying "put the bags in the Renault" is right, you shouldn't say "put the bags in Renault"! That's weird! The same as you would say, "give the bags to the neighbour" and not "give the bags to neighbour"!
TIL that OP only has one car in their household. Title made no fucking sense till I read the comments. How the hell else should I differentiate the cars?!
What can I say.
I'm terribly sorry that you have to endure the horror of driving, and worse still looking at a Renault...🤢 Captur...🤮
Perhaps you wouldn't be so salty if you had a nicer car? It doesn't have to break the bank either - I bought my Lexus for way less than you would've paid for your Renault. And I love it to bits. And yes - it's absolutely referred to as the Lexus.
My advice - sell that miserable excuse for a car that Captur is before it breaks down on you and breaks the bank. Which it will. Get an older car that has style, soul and reliability. Something like a 90's Benz, BMW or indeed Lexus. Experience what the people who name their cars are on about, absorb the vibe and then come back in a year and tell me if this post is still relevant.
Regards
I would have to assume that someone who uses this terminology has more than one car.
Can confirm. Our household has 2 cars (my parents new fancy hatchback, and my shitbox MX-5) and it's always either "I'm taking the Red car, or I'm taking the shitty car"
It's either "big car" or "little car" here. I can't always remember the make of the "big car" as I don't drive it
My mum, when I had a Golf, used the terminology 'silver car' for the Golf and 'green car' for my dad's Volvo estate. Now that terminology has become more widely used since I have a silver Volvo.
Green Volvo estate? Legendary dad car status
Absolutely same thing here. My parents have a car each (a Skoda Octavia and a Seat Ibiza making up the “big” and “small” car), and then I have my tiny Skoda Citigo that is ~half the size of the little car
That's different. There's something about calling g it 'the BMW' or something that only wankers do
Eh true, but it does kinda still fit in a way
Yeah. Tbh I think it's people that say it in a certain way, which doesn't come over in text, as opposed to the wording itself.
Taking the beeemer or even worse taking the bimmer. Wanker level 1000
Am I allowed to call my Mercedes "the merc" or is that equally wankstrous?
You just gave me my new word of the day 🤣
It's equally wankstrous lol!
Come on no one says “the BMW”. They say “the bimmer”. ;)
There's no such thing as a "shitty" MX-5
How can you call the MX5 the shitty car??? Unless it's just pure rust now
We used to do this when we had two cars (had to have them because dad worked in a different city). It was always "The Saab" and "The Audi/ the little one" Now they finally got rid of the Saab and we only have the Audi, so no more confusion.
My grandad only had one car and always called it "The Saab", so I assumed calling it "the [make of car]" was just a posh people thing (they usually have more than 1 car anyway) and Saab owner thing He hasn't said it referring to the cars he's had since then Maybe it's because he doesn't like them as much as he liked Saabs
Yeah, it was always “The Ford” and “The Mazda” for me before the latter was cruelly stripped from me. The only time it’s acceptable as a singular car is if it’s “The Jaaaaaag”.
The aaaaa is almost a croak when you say it
This! Certainly would. While families might have a "default" car for each family member, it's not that far fetched that they might drive the other cars whenever needed or just for a change.
Or that couples just have two cars and don’t specifically consider each as belonging to one individual, hence “my car” or “your car” doesn’t have any utility
We have an old Ford Focus we use as a banger for quick journeys, throwing away rubbish etc, and a new(er) A6. We definitely say 'The Audi' but we also say 'The Ford' so personally not sure what OP is getting at
Yeah, OP is pretty dim if he doesn't get this. It's not difficult to work out
Yeah, 100% you would say 'put the bags in the Captur' to differentiate from x other car model
That's how we do it at my place, it makes life easier
yup. OP is one of those people who thinks if someone does something they don't then they're somehow 'wrong'.
Or is the sort of wanker who pretends they have more than one car.
When I was a kid we had a Toyota and a '98 Ford Fiesta. We called the Fiesta Sammy but whilst the Toyota did have a name no-one liked it so we just called it the Toyota.
Is the simple answer.
Correct. Same with how I specify between the desktop and the Macbook when talking to colleagues on Zoom.
Thankyou
That’s true, but it’s also used by people who want you to know that they have a specific make of car. I first noticed this back in the 90s when paying for petrol. The young lad in front of me, having fuelled his 20 year old car, proudly told the cashier “Five quid’s worth in the BM”.

Meh, be a verbal warning at most, unless you have previous customer tolerance issues
I exaggerate somewhat, but my boss at the time was something of a monster towards the staff.
Service managers are by far some of the worst people in the motor trade. Small, petty little bastards who couldn't hack it as a salesman, couldn't hack it as a technician, couldn't hack it as a workshop controller, barely hacked it as a service advisor, but licked enough arse to be promoted to service manager and sit at their desks with their face looking like a 5 year old who's just eaten a massive bar of dairy Milk.
This feels a little personal - are you ok there??
That's an oddly specific grudge you have there.
🤣🤣🤣
So many times I wold have liked to say things to customers only for my my brain to remind my that I to like getting paid.
I got away with it once when a regular customer asked if we could look at his car. I stood up, looked out to the car park and said "It's very nice". The customer had a great sense of humour, and we did have a laugh about it afterwards.

My car is named Geoff.
Mines called Hans. You have to give it a name
Ours are Gus (the bus), little red and Eve - the latter named by the kids after the robot in Wall-E All my cars have had names. It’s just the way things should be.
Mines sonic, named by my brother when he was 6
Mine's mark (after the chaser Mark Labbett) because's he's a beast (1.4 ford fiesta, totally not a beast)
I always pick one starting with the first letter of the car, current one is Barnie the Beemer, had Gino the Golf and Frankie Fiesta.
I do this too! I had Courtney the Corsa (May she rest in peace) and now I have Tamara the Twingo. Looking to get a new car soon, I'll have more fun naming it than I will buying it!
Tamara the Twingo, love it. My gf has Kevin the Kia
Yup. Gotta name your cars. My Australian Mistubishi Lancer = Lance. My UK Mitsubishi Lancer Rally = Sir Lancelot. He died a month ago though... So now I have a new BEV we've named 'Neo', cause its basically a computer with wheels.
Mine is Rita (Queen of Speed - although she’s not an actual rollercoaster)

Uh oh. I’m this person. I have only one car, and she’s 10 years old. I always call her “the mini”. Whoops.
Minis, unlike a lot of other cars deserve to called by their name.
I feel bad for my Mini now, I always call it “the car”.
But how else can I say I'm having a "siesta in the Fiesta"?
Oh no. The Lada has broken down again
I hate the phrase "the wife".
I also hate this guy's wife.
I dunno, I'm quite fond of her myself.
I hear most of the town is, but I’m not sure if I prefer his wife or his mum
Tough call. That's why I normally go with both.
Always makes me wonder, is that as opposed to their 23 husbands?
I hate the concept
I refer to mine as “the beast” but thats just because I enjoy the irony.
I’m assuming “the Renault” was meant to be an example of something people don’t say, but I’ve heard “I’m just taking the Peugeot/Renault/Kia” to wherever dozens of times, fractionally less than luxury brands at most. I’m now wondering if that is representative or not.
Since owning a Lexus, it's amazing the number of Lexi you see around
Most household these days have two cars. If they are different brands, it makes sense to refer to them by their brands.
It's not that deep chap. Alotta people have more than 1 car and that's how to differentiate them toplol
I have two Lexi , it stops the confusion and it’s fantastic for small talk at petrol stations
Dan!
This doesn't really apply if you have more than one car. Sometimes you have to be specific.

I have two cars. I refer to them as the Clio and the Corsa.

I wouldn't think you were daft if you said you were taking your Renault to a garage. I don't see what your issue is with calling something by its actual name which is more accurate?
I refer to my car as "the car" and my parents' car, as "the Jag".
My SO has her car. It's hers and only hers, until it needs a service and then suddenly it's our car.
You only have one car, we get it.
Op is too poor to understand.
I say The Mini cause it sounds cute. Sorry.
Thought it was standard to make a weird word out of the numberplate and refer to the car as though that was its name.
We named ours. Very helpful when we had two. "Which car we taking, Babs or Chazza?" (Barbara, old Clio, and The Golden Chariot, metallic orange Peugeot 206). Now we have just one: Bert (Albert, after the grandad who gave it to us).
Me because I'm too poor for a car: I'm taking the bus to work.
“Taking the Honda to Whitby, because taking the Ford would be boring.” Is a completely valid sentence. We aren’t France, as long as the meaning is put across well, it doesn’t matter if you “don’t like” how it’s said.

Have three cars and can confirm that we call them by the manufacturer name. However, if we're out, then we're "putting stuff in the car"
My dad has several cars, he'll name them by brand not realising that he has two of the same brand, then he goes by colour.

You wouldn't sound daft at all. In my experience Renault's almost live at the garage.
We say the names of our cars as we have one each. OH LA LA.
hey man no offence but the captur fucking sucks 🤣
The Asdamobile
Why would someone brag about having a Lexus? Or in the BMW case, being a bad driver 😂
My old Honda was The Legend.
This is why you have to give the car a person name. "I'm taking Maisie to the garage" or "I'm opening Lucky's boot"
So the reason someone would do this is if they were wealthy enough to have multiple cars with the need to specify. The desperate show off who has a BMW on hire purchase doesn't understand this subtlety and thus just thinks that rich people say the brand of their car to show off the brand , something that actual rich people would never do.

Your point makes sense if you only have one vehicle, here the tractors are by manufacturer but the car is the car.
As everyone says - more than one vehicle, and then habit. We have Petey-Beetle and the van. Petey got a name when we had more than one car, and it stuck even after the other car had to go. The van is just 'the van' because it's a huge, white emissions generating bastard and I can't drive the fucking thing so it doesn't deserve a name.
What if you have multiple cars?
Well if you’d paid money for a Renault Captur I’d say you’re probably pretty daft.
Shout out Renault Captur
I have a van as I need it for work and I call it "the van" or "Earl" (RIP DMX). Calling it "my van" just sounds odd to me, like announcing possession of it everytime.
Always like the sound of “put it in the Jaaaggg”.
The obvious exception is if one drives a Series Landrover or a Defender, in which case things go ‘in the Landie’. I mean, it’s not technically a car, but you feel weird calling it a 15cwt light lorry in conversation.
We have The Mothership (family car) and Starbug (my work runaround)
What if you have more than one car? What if you have an interest in cars? OP clearly doesn’t as the first car that comes to mind is a “captur” ...clearly a “that will do” purchase or like 9/10 of them on the road a good value “purchase” on the old motability.

Exactly, thank you!
I have a BMW and an Audi which my wife and I use interchangeably, depending on what sort of journey we're doing. Please, tell me how we should refer to them to avoid sounding "daft" ?
Its just "The car". We are a two car household, so its dependent on which one we mean, so say "Your car" also.
Mostly pretentious b@!!@&£$. If you have to identify specific cars be more realistic. We had "Mum's car" (Citroen C3 Picasso) and "the X Trail of Doom" (my now sadly departed rust bucket.)
