Name that "7" contest

[Ruadhd2]

Old Yellow is an autocross-only converted Rotus 7 that i purchased from Joe Worsley from a listing placed here on this forum. I am thrilled; but she is getting streeted out and will soon be a newborn debutante after finishing transformational therapy by Kyle Russert, formerly of RP racing of Summit Point VA.

 

She is getting new headlights, seatbelts, removable steering, distributor, belts, and a Racing Beat Holley 4 barrel carb to replace the Weber 2 barrel racing carb, Caterham tail lights, and a center stop light strip on the rollbar. She has new tires, Magnaflow exhaust, vacuum advance, oil metering system for the racing rotary engine and much, much more.

 

When she is done she will behave herself on the street but gently fly away when improperly pursued by ill suited suitors with her approximate 245 horsepower weighing 1500 pounds.

 

She is not going to be the same old lady. Being yellow, bumble bee themed names come naturally to mind, but I must find the proper name for her transformed self.

 

The winning name gets one of Joe Navarro's "7" pens if and when they are manufactured.

I know RUF used the label already for the legendary RUF CTR, but you might consider "YellowBird"

 

Another kickname could be "JATO" (jet assisted take off). It kind of sound Japanese to align with the rotary engine.

 

Just some early ideas

If you must.. But I am sure I would have come up with the winning name. Can I have the pen anyway?

 

J/K, I'm thinking... a name will pop up soon.

Since the rotary folks like to call our piston engines "boingers", you could call yours noboing7 or boing free seven.

KILLERB

 

IT ALREADY HAS A LICENSE PLATE, SO IT NEEDN'T BE 7 LETTERS.

THE LICENSE PLATE IS ROTUS 7, WHICH IS PRETTY COOL SINCE IT IS A MARYLAND PLATE AND THE CAR WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT IN MARYLAND.

THE ORIGINAL MARYLAND PLATE WITH ROTUS 7 BELONGED TO SOLDER_GUY.

 

 

CAN YOU BEAT "KILLERB" OR "KILLERBEE"?

 

MAYBE WITH SLEEPINBEE OR SLEEPERBEE.

 

CAR DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A SLEEPER THOUGH, DOES IT?

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS BUT I AM SO EXCITED AND AM NOT GOING TO RETYPE EVERYTHING.

To some a ROTUS is a rotary powered 7, to others a ROTUS is a 7 manufacturered in Frederick, Maryland.

Why not name yours ROTUS ROTUS?

"500 Lb Canary"

 

From the joke: "Q: What does a 500 lb canary say? A: Here Kitty Kitty!"

 

"Here Kitty Kitty!" would make a good name too.
