The Red Rocket, as in "The Red Rocket flies again!"
Usually when I'm surprising someone on the motorway by whizzing past them : )
Happens more frequently than you'd think, actually.

For what its worth, Jon's car was known as "By all means" a corruption of Par toutes fois.
My own, Grolliffe, is well known, (an ice dragon of clerical grade, in case you were wondering) and DLM's Answers to "Graculus", (a great green bird.) Adamski's car was indeed Passe-Partout, a faithful but not necessarily reliable French servant.

1982 Citroen GSA Spécial Estate - gone to a new home
1991 Citroen BX16 TGS Meteor - still out there somewhere!
My BX is simply "the BX"
The GSA is called Timothy (or Timmy by my friend Anita) because of his numberplate TMV or Tuh-Muh-Vee in French pronounciation. The previous owner (hi RKM, if you're still around!) just called it "TMV". I sometimes just call him "the GSA" or "the G". Maybe I should call him "the Moneypit"...
