In the most typical of the german meanings it means "Race" but can also mean "run" depending on the context.

These are the two most-often used meanings of the word.

Hello!

Time for my first post here

Renn means as said before either "run" or "racing". If you say renn to someone it means run. Or you can say "Der Motor rennt" -> The engine runs.
In "Rennsport" it is like racing. A "Rennen" is a race.

Motor or engine is also "Motor" in german.

And that's why BMW is BMW in both languages.

You guys are all wrong. It means "Porsche sent us a cease and desist letter" in german.

So you're from Aussieland, right? Here in Thailand i've met this dude from Melbourne, and he's made me privvy to how absolutely awesome you Aussies can be. And yes, how you always have the surprising tendency to voice what everyone is thinking...


...now if you're not an Aussie, completely disregard this post...
