DANS911, because it is Dan's 911.

No name for the 911, but my girlfriend likes to call it "her ring". I'm 26 and we've been dating for about 7 years, so I keep my mouth shut.

You know Alex, I had to chime in since I have yet to find the right name for my P-car. I asked someone I work with to help and here is what we came up with so far.

Endura - (endurance/long lasting)
Connie - (constant)

PRE-H20 08-09-2005 10:28 AM

hey chris!

thanks for chiming in..... i think yours needs to reflect all that rubber you have back there...... i will ponder that for a bit.

instead of highjacking this thread, we should start another thread, asking for help!

As my wife says," What does the ***** need now?"

So, "*****" it is.

I call the Tangerine car 'She'. The car will be just as unpolished and crude as the song its named after when its done so its a fitting name.

Im calling the Sepia car 'The Brown Recluse'. Its a decent name IMHO since it spends more time under a cover than not these days. When it finally scurries out from under the car cover on widened steelies with its new powerplant its going to be a little nastier than it looks. Besides, 'Mr. Hanky' and 'Turd' had already been claimed :)

Maltese Falcon 08-09-2005 04:43 PM

In 1979 we were all told that '79 was the last of the U.S. turbos, we named our 930 "Verboten" or forbidden. The last 50 cars came with a signed dash plaque by the Doctor himself
:D

mshriner 08-09-2005 05:45 PM

Mr Hanky? Sepia Brown
 
My wife wants to call my "new" sepia brown 1973 track car, "Mr Hanky". As in the Southpark character. She also wants me to put yellow squares on it....corn. On the back, "Hidey Ho!" I think you would have to watch Southpark to appreciate the humor in it.

Thankfully, I think, the car came from the prior owner with a name, "The Roach".

I actually started an identical thread like this without even checking if there was already one going on, sorry...

I love this car...dogh! My friends also call mine the chick magnet and since I'm married...ummm....no.

Eleanor - after my granndmother for the 911.

My daughter named the white 73 914 Montecor - after the white tiger that malled Roy of Sigfield and Roy.

My son (soon to be 4) has been calling it "Blue-Race-Car" for the last two years.

He has decided that his next race car should be a Turbo!

The real question is "does she perform as a chick magnet." I must not be driving her enough or she does not have the right look yet. It looks like next month's paycheck is going to the Porsche too.

Gertrude, because she's a German Frau.

Goldie....

My first porsche was yellow and my mother called the car Goldie. So, every Porsche I've owned since has been named "Goldie" regardless of the color.

She's also been called "The money pit", but I love her anyway :D

Kero - japanese name meaning happy frog. When I sent some pics to my better half she said it looked like a happy frog from the front. I gave the naming rights to her, so kero it is. Here's a couple of shots with introduction number plates (taken on a recent charity drive day in sydney).
