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 :)

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

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".

Coffee, it's black and an upper.

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

Scruffy is what mine was named, but she is not that "scruffy" anymore:

Blue Race Car
 
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!

It's a metallic royal blue....the wedge part I think is self-explanitory.

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.

jpahemi 08-10-2005 07:28 PM

Gertrude, because she's a German Frau.

The Roach.

Sorta looks like one, its purpose built, takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

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.

My wife calls her "the Mistress"...so do I...;)

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).
