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

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.

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!

"The Royal Wedge of Wickedness"




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.

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.

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).
Peeking out from behind a rather fast 911

A nice line up of rears!
