Shortened car names on PH

[LotusOmega375D]

Monosyllabic TVR drivers often seem to write about:

"the Chim"
"the Cerb"
"the Griff"

Can anyone think of any other examples of truncated model names? I can only think of "the 'Grale" which very occasionally appears on here.

I'm glad this has come up because I cannot stand it when a Porsche is; "my bit of pork" or "my porker", ITS A PORSCHE and that's not Por-sha.

There was some massive wheelie spacker on here a few weeks ago referring to his Vauxhall Astra Nurburgring as 'The Burg'. Seriously, I wanted to stab him.
