Bertie, an angry little car

Not the most stimulating topic.
I thought of all the people I knew who like cars, I don't particularly, as I don't drive.
Many people give their cars names, and personalise them.
I have to admit some cars I've know where the owner gave it a name were very aply named, especially the tempermental ones......or is that just the mental ones??
When you look at some cars head on, they seem to suggest faces, don't they.

When I was a teenager, a friend Eric had a car that we all called the vampire, as when anyone new got in it, their blood was shed.

Nothing serious, I remember the first time I got in it, I reached into my bag and cut myself on an open staple in a magazine, Tracey my friend caught her nail in the fabric of the seat and it tore down to the quick, drawing blood.

It was a thirsty car.
