What were Vettel's older cars called?

Hey all. Just curious here. 2010 is Luscious Liz. 2009 was Kate, then Kate's Dirty Sister. What was his toro's name in 2008? And did he give a name for the BMW he drove for a race in 2007? And the toro he drove for a bit?

"Kubica's Empty Seat" and "Speed's Empty Seat"

Am I alone in finding Seb's attempt at cool to be, er, corny?

Yes Its nice to have a driver that isnt so full of himself and can make some jokes

Just a thought... what might Messrs Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton and Barrichello call their cars if they were taken with the same urge as Seb?

Thing is, he wasn't the one who made it public. This is a private superstition of his (others are he only gets in and out of the car on the left, and has a lucky coin behind the laces of one of his boots).
He called his first RB5, Kate - damaged in Australia. His replacement chassis, for the 2nd round, Kate's Dirty Sister.
It only became publicly known in China (4th round) due to a lucky snap by a photographer and a curious media..

It’s important to have a close relationship with a car, like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it’s sexy. My original car was called Kate, but then my monocoque got smashed in the opening race in Australia. So we called this one Kate’s Dirty Sister because it is more aggressive and faster.”

Virgin Racing are the ones who have been lame by copying it in a very public sense, running a competition to name their cars.
Now we have Glock with his hands on Virginia and di Grassi inside Veronica..


And for Turkey's race, Chandok has jumped on the bandwagon, asking on Twitter to name this weekend's engine..

[raceman]

I know it, Chandhok's engine's name is Anabel as I read it on Twitter.

Well he is German!

Seb's STR had a name beginning with J. His next car will be N. So will it be Naughty Norah, Naughty Nadia, etc?
