As the title says, just out of couriosity.......

I got mine because I had a custom number plate 'DELUXE" on my car a few years back. It was a 1990 VQ Statesman 5.0ltr, and being one of the top of the range in it's model I came up with deluxe. some of my mates still call me Deluxe, so i guess it's stuck!

I have absolutely no idea why i came up with mine.

It was about 6 years ago and I was probably really proud of myself for thinking it up, and now its too late to change it because Iv'e used it on everything.

I would never get them as my license plate though.

i liked mazda's rx8 i was gunna make a mazda_rx8@hotmail but couldnt so i changed up the letters madaz which also means mad as :D if i had a dollar for everytime sum1 told me i spelt mazda wrong i would be very rich...

ive used variants of

madaz_rx8

madaz_

and

madaz_r33

I think I needed a username for some site registration years ago. I'm a graphic designer so GFXman was something that came to mind.

other nicknames derived from my real name include joolz, jug, jugs, boobs etc :D

My first two cars were written off, hense writeoff.

I'd like to put it on plates but its 8 digits ($$$$) and riteoff just doesn't look right. Also could become prophetic which I'd like to avoid.

Vange came from my real name Evangelos, that started bk at school....

Use Evan at work cos its easier to say, and also have several variants of vange...

VANE = my friend was writing VANGE on the desk in art once n missed the G and ended up with VANE

vUnge = a slightly more sexual/deeper way of saying vange.

my bday is called 'the annual vange' which happens once a yr (obviously) and cos we were so cool bk at school, all the girls would wana come n we made it an exclusive 'sleep over' with just mates, we then proceded to do stupid things walking my backstreets and then telling every1 the stories and it would make ppl wana come more n more hahahaha

well back when i was 16yo i was doin a retail course thing

and a couple of my friends started poking me for no reason

so instead of getting called 'Amanda' it'd be 'Pokie' and i didn't

mind it, thought it sounded cool(still think it does) but yeah heaps

of people still poke me :D

oh i think the other reason why people poked me was coz i was

very ticklish, but i'm not anymore :)

Tylthidras - um...came up with as a character name for a medieval type story i was writing for a creative piece in year 8 english.

needed a new email address at the time, used the name. Used it as name's no computer games back when i had time to play em, when i ended up on forums, it became my forum name. :)

I started playing my first online game last October, Day of Defeat, and was first time using WSAD keys in liue of arrow keys - lets just say I used to get very tangled up. Sgt.Tangles was my name, got a few laughs, then I was asked to join a clan, so it changed to goon>>Tangles. Now I have a go on BF2 a little and call myself MajorTangles.

Plus Im hung like max walker :) "its like a babys arm holding an apple" from The 12th Man fame, and his nickname for Australia was Tangles, so it just seems normal to me. Could be Tripod I guess, LOL, but Tangles it is. LOL

I did my Primary schooling in the UK, so when i came back to Aus and started High school I had a pommy accent, and of course copped grief for it.

Then one of the kids decided to say my name (Ashley) in as posh a voice as he could muster, it sort of came out as "Ooooshley", pretty quickly it was shorten to Oosh.

But instead of taking it as a tease, I actually kinda liked it, so adopted it as my nickname. After that I was always Oosh at high school, along with a few variations, Zoosh, Spoosh, Stoosh, etc.

It got continued at Uni, because one of my mates there was an Ash too, so i maintained Oosh to avoid confusion. I rarely even answered to Ash there.

Well back in year 7 on the first day of high school i went up to this girl and said "is your name Kirsty or Kristy?" and she went "Is your name Karl or Kral?" and then i just added "ster" on the end to get "kralster"

It's mostly just used for forums but my gaming tag is "Mr Charisma"

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
