My girlfreind used to refer to my old 106 as "Bessie"
It kinda stuck and everyone used it after a while.
My Corsa has no name, although she tries to call it "Morag"

The Beta (Betamax) Video Tape Format in the UK.
Back to the late 1970's. There was a long and terrible format battle, probably the biggest ever, between VHS and Beta (known often as Betamax). VHS offered slightly longer playing time. Beta offered higher quality pictures and smaller tapes. Both formats were based on earlier designs, and hence the tapes themselves were so similar, and both appeared on the world market in 1976. When the Japanese ministry of trade saw that there was going to be a pointless format battle, they decreed that the superior format was Beta, and so the world was to adopt this. Unfortunately, JVC took no notice and carried on regardless.
We all know that VHS won the day in the end, though the battle raged on for many years. The reasons are far from obvious, it may have been that Sony were just very unlucky, and made a few poor marketing choices. For an American perspective of the causes, read Beta vs.VHS. In the UK the causes may have been different. VHS and Beta were launched here at almost the same time, and by that time Beta manufacturers also included Sanyo, Toshiba, NEC and Aiwa, as well of course as Sony.

Corsa was called Josie due to the number plate M*** JSE

Megane Coupe still is undecided. Plate is R*** EVY SO maybe ENVY or just the number plate M3XED

Some fell the need to call it yellow banana
