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"

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
