Well, like a lot of you, we name all our cars. We have had an influx of VW's lately, and have yet to name the fasty. We're sort of running out of names,
SO any suggestions for our '72 fasty?

Ferdinand the Fasty (after Dr Porsche)

Fred, Trevor....it just looks like a boy.

How about "Wolfie" or "Wolfy", as in Wolfsburg, where they were built?
Cool, sounding good so far. The missus came up with martha also :puke
Wouldn't want to drive a nigel either.
Actually wolf sounds kinda cool, not sure which factory type 3's came out of.
Did the Germans have a pet name for type 3's??

HAHAha, the last two owners have been girls!! Looks like a girls car to me, and it is mainly for the missus!!
Forgot to mention it's an auto as well :thumb
Other car names we have currently are Andy, Flipper, Gbu, Racy (another fasty), Mangled max, Klouse.....

Esquiare, hmmm... now were talking, it is a rather stately machine compared to our other VW's. Has that nose in the air feel parked next to kombi and beetle.
Wonder how you shorten that? 😉

esky

Yep, that's right! Don't know if I'm keeping the plates yet though. I like to fit the old QLD black/white number plates on our VW's.
Keg is a cool name also!

Seeing that your missus is driving it, you could call it "Touch Par King the III"

I'll see if any names grow on me over the week end.

Hey, my theory is that fasties are all girls (pretty), squares and notches are all boys (they can look tough and boofy or pretty)! I have never seen a tough and boofy looking fastie.
If still in doubt as to its calling try Frankie - this can be either, or any other name that can be for either sex.

Gretchin (just cause it's cool)
Esmay (from the missus)

You could lower the rear and raise the front to make it look like its going faster.
