Mine is called the porsche-bunny! They are similar to a vw and they all come from the same factory! Porsche out the front door, Rabbits from the side door of the factory! oh, and Audi from the back door!

Mine all have names that relate to their past lives. My first 911, a 1969 T Targa, I always referred to as "Der Buist" - Buist is the last name of the great gentleman who put me in the way of a REAL sports car for the first time, back in about 1984 or so. A $7000 deal I have never regretted.
My 1970 S Coupe is called Keller after the great German-Russian mechanic who did most of the mechanical restoration - the engine in particular. Toli Keller also built the 2.4 that is now in Der Buist, and rebuilt the 915 tranny in Weber My 1973 T Targa-3.2 Carrera powered, is known as Weber, as a memorial to my lifetime best friend, the former owner, Ken Weber. Ken was a victim of Leukemia and left us 11 years back at the tender age of 48. His spirit lives on & rides with me in the Targa whenever we get out to play. This would even include a few weekends back when I put him backwards into the trees along the roadside here. Ken would have said, 'If you don't have a small crash now & then, you are not using the car properly.' I agree completely...:cool: |
At long last I purchased my first Porsche a few years ago, a blue '86 coupe.
Naturally, my daughters immediately emasculated the car by naming it Sally Carrera. If you've seen "Cars' then you'll know. Last summer I purchased a guards red 944 turbo for track use, so naturally its now Lightning McQueen and sports number 95. CB |
Need to add one more name to mine. The wife comes out to the garage and says hows the "Zoomer" doing.

Mine's just the "Wide One". :)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1237144538.jpg

When I first got the SC the original paint had so many swirls in it I said it looked like someone washed it using a Brillo Pad. Brillo kind of stuck. Even after KevinP73 painted it a couple of years ago, most people still refer to it as Brillo. I call it the blue car :)
It usually photographed pretty well, so I don't have any good pictures of what it really looked like before it was painted. Here's one after being painted: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1237145327.jpg |

|
"The 911".
My wife's car is, "The Boxster". |

Mr. Perkles:
No bling there. That's a beautiful P-Car you have! Well-done....... Cheers, Bill C. |
I just call mine Talbot. If I'm lazy typing it ends up 'T'.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1237150241.jpg

Sometimes I call it the "Omen"
|
My wife calls mine a "tin can with a lid" or short for PITA.
|
Mister P.
This is because my first car was a 1991 MR2 Turbo, named "Mister Two" . . . Bought the A6/4.2 Audi, named him "Mister A". Mister P stuck nicely. |
