    EL TURBO

    My 3-year old son can't say "Neunhundertelf Turbo", so he started saying "El Turbo" when referring to my car.
    I actually enjoy this new "nickname" a lot, so I wanted to share it with you.

    The kids love "El Turbo", my wife actually not (she claims she feels "dizzy", she doesn't like driving anyway).

    He looks like he has his daddy's genes. Already washing the car . "El Turbo" really sounds nice and aggressive. No more Mr. Turbo. It's El Turbo from now on, senor .

    "El Turbo" sounds great!

    Could be the title of a good old Western movie...

    @ RC: nice pics - it seems that the small version of RC enjoys El Turbo as much as the XL version

    That's awesome, RC. Did he wash the whole car for you and then wax/polish it for you afterwards? That's a great kid you have there!

    First: thanks a lot guys, unlike myself, my son really is cool. He has a smaller, battery operated version of a "Gator" for our garden and he drives it like a pro, including drifting, absolutely unbelievable for a 3-year old (he just got 3). He doesn't speak much for his age but he really knows how to drive his "Gator", he surprised us a lot.

    Getting back to the Tiptronic question: I'm very satisfied with Tiptronic in my 997 Turbo, with one exception though: from standstill, there is a short acceleration lag up to around 30 kph.
    You have to get used to Tiptronic, it requires a pre-emptive throttling, not all people like this.

    I don't think anyone using their brains while driving should have a problem operating the Tiptronic. This just shows how few people are actually using their brains while driving .

    As for RC Jr.'s driving skills, what did you expect? Such things run in the family .
