Club Arnage

This has been bothering me for while. When I say 'bothering' I mean it's intregued me for some time.

My user name reflects the first half of my postcode after my initials. Although I haven't been there for a while so perhaps I should change to JJPO10!

How did everyone else select their username?  There are some obvious ones and they are easily identifiable. But there are some really perverse ones.

Come on, tell how you got / chose them.

If this has been asked before, I do apologise.

Jerry

2.10 meters.

Go figure.

Paddy = Patrick, NL = Dutch, and I like Irish pubs ;D

Come on the Pompey to Caen Crossing home, or camp anywhere near me in Le-Mans.....it don't take a genius....

there's a longer story to it mind you....

Its my name, simple as that!  :)

Nick, 1st 4 letters of my christian name, liv, first 3 letters of my surname.

My dog on the other hand, thinks he's called 'oh for f**ks sake' rather than Ross.

Guess!

termietermite can tell you why my handle is what it is.

Because you look like Marty Feldman ;D ;D

JDS = my initials; "_UK" = 'cos I screwed up my first registration and put a typo in the email address so had to re-register and add that on the end !! (http://www.dervhead.com/xmb/images/smilies/duh.gif)

Did you not know that you can change the text above you avatar, you still sign on the same but the name is different. You can also change your email address.

My real signon is RCutler, a couple of years back we had a "who are you really" Some of us changed to our complete name.

I've never really thought of using any other name than my own. Nicknames are best when others come up with it, because that reflects how other people see you. Although I'm not sure I'm happy with "Wrong Way", the nick name that has been given to me last year after taking a bit of a detour to Le Mans. This year at Sebring somebody called me "Texas Pete". I like that better, all it took was wearing a cowboy hat.

Shaun is my first name
v156 is the car I used to have
an alfa 156 v reg.

vq - as in my company vingt quatre which was named at le mans...
dave - as in my name

so many daves about and I thought i might be mistaken for someones dog so i added to dave and this was the 1st thing i thought of, exciting huh?

My nick name was given to me when I was at art school. I drove a very sinister looking Black 60's long wheel base Mercedes Fintail (heckflosse to our dutch chums) and they thought I was some kind of wannabe Bond Villain. That and the fact I consumed mountains of lovely cream Scones in the cafe and voila- I was named so. Very silly I know but it stuck.
 Ps. I am not naturaly evil, as the great Morrissey once sang ;D

And the Dr because of your extensive medical training?

Oh yes, that too! I have charts and stuff. ;D

My Name is Nick and i live in Norway simple as that.

Rhino from sunday football. Not much in the way of finesse, favoured sliding tackles, never ever chickened out of a tackle. One of the lads in the team thought it was my real name.

I am a Lord of the Realm

This is a constant source of humiliation for me.  I used to be DaveH before the big site change, but had to fall to Dave H to re-register.  Oh the humanity!

I secretly wish I could change it to Penelope.

Nice choice Dave- I have always been partial to the name Doris but someone else has got it ;D

Mine is an anagram of my real name, Earth Tramp.

Gordon for obvious reasons and the wr 'cos I'm the owner of a ur quattro with a wr engine as opposed to an mb or an  rr. I've been doing a bare metal, glass out rebuild for the past 16 months and need it finished NOW !!
I suspect that will not be the case unless the fairys pop in overnight, so will keep going for a few more months !!

Perdu is lost in French (Ish)

I got lost first time I drove in the country


and constantly live up to it when I arrive at the City Of Our Dreams


I expect I always will, makes me feel at home nowadays

If I'm lost I must be in France  :-*


bill

Thanks for that Rick, but 'cos fat finger syndrome took over and I used "JDS" originally and the initial 'confirmation' email went to the typo email I can't change my ID to it now .... No worries, I'm getting to like being back in the UK anyways .... ::)

Your name is Frogeye and you drive a Gary.

Mine (username) was a cat.

Well, I have a mysterious travelloing circus and am looking for Dave...

Actually, I'm Patrick, and had been watching The League Of Gentlemen at the time...






You're my wife now!

I'm sorry, I'm no wiser   Is it some sort of Landrover?

Is a Gary like a TreVoR, or is it rhyming slang

Robbo's been one nickname for years and sps as its my group . at the time robbo was taken......

Jerry - Your a Emsworth dweller. . . . I shall keep an eye out for you. I'm around most of the time in your town. . .

edit - i now know you have a 7 series bmw..... i'll keep an eye out..... ;D

Hi Robbo,

I've got withdrawal symtems since LM!!

OK, Emsworth, what brings you to my neck of the woods? I also have a place in Addlestone Surrey (J11 M25). Do you live local?

BMW 740 is 10yrs old, dark metalic blue, last 3 letters are 'EUR' regularly seen either outside or in the public carpark by 'The Blue Bell' in South Street!!!!!!

Also look out for the 'Purple Peril'  1974 GT6 convertable, known as the 'Sixfire'.

It would be my pleasure to buy you a drink when you're around here.  Anyone else want to come down and join us?

Jerry

Jerry. I live in Portsmouth ( POMPEY ) and work in and around Emsworth.

My work cars currently a BMW, but i only do the Emsworth Food Festival as a social.. Otherwise i'm working, and drinking in pubs is a no no..

Nice to find another local though.

Robbo, if you ever see an old red Alfa tearing along towards the ferry terminal in mid June could you turn a blind eye whilst 'working' I'm always late for the ferry and have to push on a little on your patch! You wouldn't want us to miss it would you?

1984 Audi quattro. Up to '86 the engine had an air cooled turbo and was designated wr. Then the turbo was water cooled and called an mb. The rr was the last to be built and had the 20v engine. Other differences but put simply they were the main ones.

MG - 'cos I've always liked them and have had one since buying my first car in 1980.

Mark - Christian name

Straightforward really :)

MG Mark

I was born Norbert Dentressangle but always wanted to be known as Steve Brown  ;)

In that case Norbert could you ask your staff in the big red trucks to take less than 5 miles before they abandon their attempt to overtake on the A1. You can't go faster than 56 mph anyway so whats the point? ;D

For many years I drove a black MkII Granada estate to Le Mans. The Granada was nickmaned  the "Black Granny". Obvious when you know

Jerry- I grew up in Emsworth and now live down the road in Bedhampton

 :-* :-* :-*

Mine needs changing - been meaning to for ages - being as the RS2 has long since driven away into the sunset and the Babe part ..........well.........sort of doesn't work anymore, if ever in fact :-\

So I will think of something and then have to ask you how to change it on the site 'cos I'm rubbish at IT stuff (oh and camping pass stickers that are not stickers at all :-\)

Lisa
 :-*

named after my avatar!

How about "Miss Simpson"?

Got to be the second most famous Lisa after yourself obviously! ;D

Because you regularly bathe in a bath of beans and have terrible flatulance??  :o

Fagey.. well my surname is fage and so have been called fagey for yonks ;D

Christopher......because that is my name.

SteveB ..... coz there's already another ( the 1st) Steve Brown

Norbert Dentressangle, please  ;D

Monsieur Dentressangle..... my humble apologies

Well, I'm not going there, that's for sure.
I'm not long out of intensive care, and it's been a rough few weeks I can tell you. You thought the sound of a 787B was bad...

Pretzel was a nickname attributed to my previous car - a Subaru Impreza, and a couple of friends use to call me the same and it sort of stuck, even though I haven't had the car for a couple of years.

powermite goes back to my teenage days when i used to hurtle around in a mark one escort.My arch enemies eventually became my friends and told me that they used to call me powermite,before they knew me.
When I was thinking of an email address I wanted to used Grousebeater cos that was my CB handle,but this name was taken,so i just used powermite instead.
Nobody ever calls me powermite for 51 weeks of the year then june comes and...

Cheers

Grousebeater
