Every time I see the 930 I say, under my breath, "whoof." But you can't name a car "Whoof."** So, the 930 is Rakete ("Rrrrah-kay-tuh"; German for rocket). The old BMW is "the Deuce". The Mini is, well, "The Mini" or "The Cooper". I have no other names for the toys... I've got a pretty blunted creative gene, I guess.

** Though the Italians did name a car "Countach" which is, roughly translated, "Fwaah?!" So maybe I should reconsider "Whoof."
