I guess most of us talk about"she" but that isn't what I am on about here. I am always interested in how different cars attract male or female attention. My cars fall into two distinct camps, one attracting male viewers, the other female, and the difference is quite noticeable. So which side of the divide does your car fall?

Mostly male but I did have one teenage girl tell me how 'cute and wunnerful' it was but she was American so probably everything in the UK was 'cute and wunnerful'.

I find its a mix of both really, I would almost say for me I notice more the age group that makes conversation or comments.

My new modern has a factory tracking system fitted and they ask you to give your car a name. I almost automatically chose Flo (Florence). I don't know why, it just seemed appropriate.

In the past I have named them usually based on the number plate. For example Mary Lou was registered MLU. My 38 Buick Limo was Bertha for obvious reasons.

Just been away for a few days in the SS and returning to the car after parking in the street 3 males out of 3 people engaged me in conversation about "her".

Our Talbot Camelot camper attracts more ladies when parked. It's not unusual to be asked if they can see inside. "She", of course is called Guinevere, and she has a round table.
The Range Rover, however is definitely a man thing.
