QUOTE(naro914 @ Dec 25 2006, 11:30 AM)  We nicknamed the car Huey. Can anyone guess why? it's a stretch, but I'll let a few people guess before I answer it. I'll take shot at it... Something about a cartoon duck? Lot's of yellow and blue on that car, same collors as baby huey the duck. Close? -Josh2 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The colors are the same yellow and blue of the 1971 Sunoco Porsche 917 driven by Mark Donahue. So, we thought about calling it "Donahue" but that sounded too formal sitting next to our other car "Papa Smurf", so after a lot of beer and friends input, we just shortened Donahue to Huey..... I said it was a stretch.... |
