If only I could find a contract like that.
He's down the pub and he said build this years like last years.
No bloody way, that was full of bugs that's why we fired the old wino.

The Beetle came first though, so he didn't even design one car. Just copied an existing one and gave it a bigger engine to make it sporty.
I guess it was Ferdinand Porsche Senior that built the tanks for the Nazis.

A statement from the German company confirmed Professor Porsche, grandson of company founder Ferdinand Porsche, had passed away in Salzburg on Thursday aged 76.
The German designer, nicknamed Butzi, joined the family company in 1956 where he worked in the technical design department.
In 1962 he was made the manager of the Porsche design studios and the following year he showed off the Porsche 901, which was later renamed the 911.

Although six years into extra time isn't bad, these days 76 seems relatively young to die if it was of old age.
Maybe he should be buried in a Porsche 911
