I'm looking for help in designing some Porsche related media- Web Page, newsletter, yadda, yadda, yadda.

The name needs to represent Porsche and jump out as easily recognized as Porsche to you and other Porschephiles.
However, it can't use the name Porsche or anything that PCNA or father Porsche in Germany and their lawyers wouldn't allow.

The name shouldn't exclude any models or be specific to any particular model. What we are looking for is something that ALL Porsche people can enjoy.

I have a free set of front Euro lenses and a 914Club poster (13x19) to the winner, if there is one...if not, I'll throw all the names of those who responded in a hat and draw a winner. BUT, you have to have your location listed in your profile to WIN.

Thanks in advance.

Hard to do this without focusing on a particular model. They all differ so much. Engines in the front, rear, AND in the middle. Affordable to astronomical. Oh well, someone will come up with something

Nice try.

The name Carrera would stick us in a 911 only hole.

Has to cover Porsches in general.

naaaa, at least in europe, Carrera stands for fast/racing/porsche etc.
it's not in general associated just with the 911.

maybe that's different here, but in germany, when i would say
"Carrera Central" people would think of fast Porsche Cars instead of a '86 911 ...

Andy's right about Carrera.
I thought about it.

It means "race" I think.

356 Carrera's were the bad-assest of the day. There was a Carrera 6 (not a 356) and then the 911 took over the name.
I think there was even a 924 based Carrera.

Here's one.

Ausgezeihtnet (I think it is the spelling).

German translation is "of note" or "excellent."

"Ausgezeichnet" would be the right spelling.

i would not immediately associate this with cars or Porsches though ...

haha, my translator comes back with:

"Ausgezeichnet" = "kick-ass adj. [Amer.][sl.]"

not bad, huh?

I think trying to type that as a URL would be a lesson in futility. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
