I think only one of mine has a name, and thats the tuned 930 turbo, which is just referred to as "The Widow Maker"

All the others, are just referred to as they are "My white turbo" for my 86 944 turbo, "TUF", "RAZ" Both 944 turbos with those letters in their reg, "LIL" of course, pauls old 3.2 turbo, now tuning parts test mule and dyno test car, all the rest are "my boxster" or "my 924 turbo" etc etc etc

Always wished I had cute names for them, but the 930 is the only one which has one.. which is not a sign of fondness, more of a sign of fear of her/him!! Because she scares the living hell out of me, as would anything else that we had put on the dyno and completely failed to stop wheel spin at full boost, even with the dyno dynamics rep helping find imaginative strap rigging ideas!

I forgot to mention "El Bee"... from LB... the initials of Little B*****, I like the Porsche connection, but couldn't just blatantly lift the name so... although being the b****** love-child of a 924 Turbo stripped for spares, and a written-off 944, it has more right to the name than many... One day it is going to rise again... and when it does, watch out - probably the ugliest Porsche ever to roam the planet... and that is saying something given Bomber... 930s Rock!

The 220 is called the 220, the Turbo S is called "the black one" my BMW tourer is called Mickey as the car smells like the hire car we had in Florida, a Passat,with a blue magic tree air freshner, chaep as chips a Walmart.
The Freelander was known as the "Truck" it was sold tonight.

On a good day, it's the Polaris Missile. On a bad, the Scud.

The 924 s is scarlet and the 944 turbo silver rose is the pink lady ... Aka pinky!!! Passat called Marilyn but the turbo is normally having obscenitys thrown at it

Mine is called Werner after my ex-boss. He was old, German, rather scruffy looking, and his main goal in life was to keep me poor. A bit unfair, as I hate my ex-boss, but don't hate the Porsche.

My girlfriend's Micra is called Gogo Yubari (out of Kill Bill) because driving it turns her into a raging psychopath. She didn't like it when I called her Micra Joanna Lumley after she damaged the rear end (apologies, inappropriate internet joke/myth that I don't recommend you google).

My daily driver, the Volvo, is called Sven, after the ex England football manager. It's incredibly boring to look at, nothing more than adequate at it's job and expensive to maintain.
