Ol Skool Rotary Nicknames/Slang
Anyone familiar with the nicknames/slang names terms of old school Mazda rotaries? Not looking for official names, just names/terms you've heard.

From what I gather...

Rx-3 S102 (Series 1) aka "Goon" aka "Pig-nose/face"

Rx-3 S124 (Series 2) aka "Shark-nose/face"

Any others?

REPU which some people pronounce as "reepooh" but I don't. I just called them a rotary truck. Or say each individual letter like I say GSL-SE or RE-SI or S4 NA. The hyphen or dash is silent of course.

Pretty much a quote by a friend from the South.
