User names

[WALNUT]

Why did you pick the user name that you use on this site, some names are obviously related to your kit car, or one you have owned. The names im talking about, are the ones like Hairy Ssnta, do he really drive a raindeer, or does YellaBelly have jaundice, is KrazyKen really Ken. My user name started with one of my grand kids saying I was brown and wrinkly, like a walnut and not being the best at spelling, I put two Ls and never knew how to change it, so I left it as it is. If there is nothing you can say about your own name, then feel free to take the p**s out of someone else.

Nice story Tony.

Mine is pretty self evident really G as in G-force and Toniq as in the car I used to own.

Lesson to myself.. dont choose a user name the same as your car, chances are you will sell it on at some point and be left with a unrelated user name

I must sort out a new one.

[YellaBelly]

Being born and bred in Lincolnshire not far from 'Bracing Skegness' or 'Skeggy' as it's affectionally know in those parts, when trying to decide a username I thought of the term sometimes used to refer to people from Lincolnshire as 'Yellow Bellies'. There are many stories around where the term came from and some are here:

Found another one:

So Tony, you may not be far off the truth with the Jaundice guess, although I do not have it as far as I know

If anyone knows of any others I would be intrested to here them.

Hmm, can't quite remember why I picked mine, some boring reason I guess.

I went for mine because i find Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail highly amusing.  Grin-a-lot sounds like it might have been one of the knights of Camelot; and I like smiling.

Not sure where mine came from.

[Quarrycars]

Pretty boring here too, a name I can remember and know how to spell, I live in a quarrying area in Wales and quarry is part of my home address.

[Daley Down Under]

Cant remember why I chose mine - it's been so long since I drove the car.  I did start it yesterday when I was in the garage cleaning the road bike.

Just my initials, PT, but with some 'e's!

I used to train wrestlers in Japan on my time off, and although I had a large engine in my moped once I always dreamed of owning something big and throbing!!

For years people have called me Denzle.   I bloody hated it, my name is Dennis.          But in the end I give in to the old saying.

If you cant beat um........Join um.

                                        Cheers,  Denzle.   

[Furore Phil]

Learned my lesson...

Never use an actual name as a username... I keep getting messages for the other Phil...

Nothing worth publishing yet

['The Gaffer']

Phil, you can change your username in forum profile / account settings.

[Krazyken]

Mine came from when I drove the Nurburgring in 2008.  We had limited runs so I attacked the circuit from the off with so many blind crests and off camber corners I lost count.  After our forst run I asked Dave Bence to follow me and lost him after 2 corners where he was being more cautious, he said I was Krazy.  This was reinforced when for my 4th & 5th run I was joined by a bloke calling himself "The Mad Aussie" hanging onto the dashboard for dear life in the passenger seat.  I did my best lap time on the 5th run at 9min 34 sec with no prior knowledge of the circuit.  He told me I was Krazy too.

It then rained heavily which ruined any chances of going faster but this was compensated for by Dave Bence being out in the forest section during torrential rain and came back as though he had been through a car wash.  I hid my concern behind rolls of laughter!
