Shortened car names on PH
Discussion
Was going to mention 'Burg' being used for the Astra Nurburgring but beaten to it.
See Koenigsegg referred to a few times on here as 'the egg' (think that was a Shoebag thing).
As an Exige owner, I have largely avoided referring to it as the 'Zige. However was guilty of referring to my R26.R as simply' the '.R' on a Renaultsport Megane specific forum. Would never call it that in a conversation, though.

FFRR as mentioned on page 1?
I recenetly found our FF stands for full fat I'm assuming this means all the options/extras and RR being Range Rover but im happy to be corrected
Does nobody else see RR and think Rolls Royce? After all the Double 'R' is there company Logo.
Oh, I though FFRR was the new name for the sporty Leon taking over from the "Cupra R" name. I'll go and sit quietly in the corner and not bother you again... :-)I recenetly found our FF stands for full fat I'm assuming this means all the options/extras and RR being Range Rover but im happy to be corrected

See, I always interpret a full fat Range Rover as the non Range Rover Sport model(i.e. the 'proper' one), rather than any RR model that is loaded with options.I recenetly found our FF stands for full fat I'm assuming this means all the options/extras and RR being Range Rover but im happy to be corrected

Full-fat also a term prevalent in Renaultsport circles, as opposed to the Cup models which are pared down in some respects. Having the Cup chassis options enables the waters to be muddied somewhat by introducting the term 'FF + Cup'. This is also open to interpretation, and my understanding of it differs to others'

EP3 is one that crops up a lot, I know its a Honda, but have no idea of which one.
It's a Honda code for a particular model of Civic Type-R; this one:
rather than this one:
or this one:
It's not really a shortened name, it's just like referring to a particular generation of BMW 3-series as an E36 or to a particular generation of Porsche 911 as a 996.

Which everytime I see mentioned I still think of one of these
I get this too, and I'm always disappointed Which everytime I see mentioned I still think of one of these
FFRR means full-fat Range Rover, which differentiates it from a Range Rover Sport, an RRS - some less knowledgeable folk might refer to an RRS as simply a "Range Rover", which isn't quite right and leaves doubt even if you do know what you're talking about, so FFRR emerged to remove that doubt.
