wasser gruppe
hey, those air-cooled, long-hooded track rats got the r-gruppe, but what do we have?
what about outlawed, track-whored boxsters? wasser-gruppe? boxer-gruppe? friseur-gruppe? perhaps agree on a name, get some decals made up, and issue decals upon successful application (post to this thread w/ car resume and photos - approved on consensus basis)? |
bahn-gruppe?
schlucht schnitzer-gruppe? |
mittel-gruppe?
|
non-gruppe.....

Very funny. :D :D :D
Do you guys be aware that some of your ideas could have also a different meaning in german, because of very bad translation or simply a different context meaning? :D :D :D Regards, Markus |
hah! google translate is hit-and-miss at best. i was hoping that an actual master of the language would chime in and help us avoid a kennedy/jelly donut incident ("i am a berliner!").

OK, let's take a closer look. :D
wasser-gruppe: (Wassergruppe) Group of guys drinking mineral water, or doing medical Kneipp applications. Maybe you've meant water-cooled which would be more something like "Die Wassergekühlten". But this would include all water cooled cars. boxer-gruppe: (Boxergruppe) Well, this could also be a group of boxers in the meaning of boxing as a sport. Also this could be a group of Boxer dogs. Boxer is a dog breed. MOre unique qould be something like Boxstergruppe, which means group of Boxster cars. friseur-gruppe: :D (Friseurgruppe, or Frisögruppe) OK, Friseur means hairdresser. But because it seems that male gay people like to work in the profession of a hairdresser, a hair dresser's car would be a car for gay guys in german. :D bahn-gruppe: (Bahngruppe) Ok, that is a group of people using the railway.:D Maybe you've thought more of something like track, which would be translated as Rennstrecke. So maybe Rennstreckengruppe. schlucht schnitzer-gruppe: No idea what that could mean in english. A Schlucht is a canyon. A Schnitzer is a carver. mittel-gruppe: That would mean the group in the middle. Or the group that is mediocre. So i think what was meant here was mid engine group, which would be translated as Mittelmotorgruppe. non-gruppe: Well, nothing to translate here. ;) gruppe 6 Well it depends on how you write it. Gruppe 6 = group number six But if you write Gruppensex, it has a complete different meaning (group sex). Which maybe could be very misleading in combination with friseur-gruppe. :D ;) Regards, Markus |
thanks man, mineral water drinker i am not. i like the gruppe sechs name too (and i didn't even know sechs was 6 in german!). i'll hold off for (hopefully) more input, but will see what i can work up for possible decals. i was thinking something similar to this:
http://cdn3.pelicanparts.com/catalog.../misc/rg36.jpg but with the name across the bottom and modified to look a little more water-cooled. you could get a decal w your displacement on it. the other thing i was thinking was in the style of the mobil 1 pegasus: http://d39a3h63xew422.cloudfront.net...934470707.jpeg but use the horse from the porsche crest instead: http://cirpca.org/portals/6/MiscImag...sche_Crest.jpg and add the name across the bottom. either way you get a nod to vintage racing but add a new twist. |
Whatever it turns out to be, I'll take 2, one for the car and one for the trailer. Maybe 3, including one for my helmet ;)

Gruppe 986...
Gruppe 689 :eek: or drop the 6 and the 9 Gruppe 8 :D where the 8 looks like a B (both stand for Boxster) ergo: Gruppe B ;) |
But is a 986 really a Gruppe-B-Monster? :D ;)

Funny, this one's been cycling through my head for a while, too.
How about R-Gruppe 2K? (new millennium) |
