I call my 944 Turbo Das Panzer, but Emma refers to it as 'The Beast'.

True, but Dolly because of her big curves sounded a bit pervy :)

My cars all seem to have an alliteration or rhyming theme. The turbo is called Peter, or Peter Porsche. Wife's old 1 litre corsa was called Tommy the Tractor due to the cam rattly agricultural sound of vauxhall's silky smooth engine. I also had Freddy Cougar which was of course a Ford Cougar. And wife's current baby carrying chariot, a 4 mo golf is simply known as Rolf Golf!

I've always just called them The 944 and The 968 although my wife now calls the 944 The Turbo charged money pit! :oops:
