Usernames?

[Oh Five]

Just for something different, just wondering what some of your thread names mean. I know some are obvious, but for those that arnt, would you like to explain how they come about ?
I will point out that mine is because i am a Brock fan... not because i got "done" for being .05 !!
Cheers.

[terrine]

it would seem that most of us have some personal reference in the nicks we choose. mine is no different and i am sorry that it would take to long to explain here, but an old one of mine was "12 inch"........

r/peter:D

[XR8]

Well, I love Fords, and had an XR8 that I had dreamed of gettting since their release.
Fortunately, I was able to claim the name for this forum, as there hadn't been too many people signed up at the time.

Having since sold the car, perhaps I should change it, but NO,
I'm now dreaming of one day owning a nice shiny new BA XR8 ute!!!!

Ed :)

[Three_o_seven]

Well mine is obviously 307 and it came about as it is the displacement of the V8 in my Chevrolet........AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PEUGEOTS......yuck :D

Jeremy

[7Litre]

XB + 429 = 7Litre.

Don't Bore it, Just Big Block it....

[oldxr]

Mine is because of the XR Falcons i own, 1 is 1967 XR Falcon 500 i'm doing up very slowly. 2 is the EDXR6 i own that the boss drives the kids around in.
Both are now old cars.

[Mark]

Mine is because my parents liked the name mark.....??

[lachlan]

Hey Mark, our parents have something in common......... freaky....

[Glen Alexander]

I chose mine because it is sharp, exciting and jumps out at you. I see it in flashing lights with fireworks shooting out of it. It is a great name, one that will stay with me for years!!!!!:D

[timbo333]

Mines my nickname cum extended first name Tim(bo) plus my lucky number 3, 3 times!!

Did you get that!!!

I try and get the same username wherever I go.....like on yahoo e-mail, here, SOLD.COM etc. I get peeved if the name is already 'taken'.:mad:

[Graeme]

As with Mark and Lachlan, my name was chosen by joint parent decision. But, most of the credit must go to my father whom I understand persuaded my mother against her more preferred options of Ashley and Nigel.

With regard to the mystery of 'terrine', I have checked out my Collins Dictionary whereupon I found the following definitions:

1. An oval earthenware cooking dish with a tightly fitting lid used for pates, etc.

2. The food cooked or served in such a dish, esp. pate.

I don't suppose this information helps identify the origins of our contributor's culinary name ?

[-Pille-]

Like many others, I use the name given to me by my parents. I just have no imagination... :rolleyes:

[terrine]

interestingly i have used this same nick on another local forum for about 3 years and similar assumption has been drawn there.
i am most humbled you did not refer to me as an empty vessel.

anyway try this....i can reccomend it

The terrine is named after the French earthenware dish it is usually cooked and served in, and may be made with either meat, fish, vegetables or even fruits. This terrine is made with chicken, pecan nuts and grilled capsicums and seasoned with spices. I serve it with an orange and onion chutney which makes a good companion.....Serves 8

ingredients........
250g chicken breast or thigh meat minced or finely chopped
250g chicken breast cut into strips
50g pecan nuts, finely chopped
50g whole pecan nuts
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, grated
1 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp black pepper
5 or 6 juniper berries, finely chopped (optional)
1 Tbsp brandy (optional)
2 Tbsp strong chicken stock
Breadcrumbs (preferably freshly made)
3 or 4 bacon rashers
3 or 4 red or yellow capsicums

NOW DO THIS......
First prepare the capsicums by cutting slices of flesh away from the seeds and discarding the stalk. Spread out the capsicum pieces skin side up onto a shallow oiled baking tray.

Grill until skin has blackened.

Remove pieces from baking tray and place in a plastic bag. Tie up and leave to cool. Once cool the skins may easily be removed from the flesh.

In a large bowl mix minced chicken, chopped pecan nuts, egg, onion, carrot, spice, pepper, stock, and juniper berries and brandy (if using).

Mix well then slowly add breadcrumbs until a reasonably firm mixture is achieved.

Oil a terrine, or other oven proof dish and put down a layer of bacon rashers. Add a third of the chicken mixture, packing it in well on top of the bacon.

Add a layer of whole pecans, followed by a layer of chicken strips.

Add a layer of capsicum and repeat the whole process but finishing with the chicken mixture.

Cover dish with aluminium foil and stand it in a roasting pan with water in it so that the water comes half way up the dish. Cook 2 hours in 190°C oven.

Allow to cool thoroughly before serving. Or refrigerate.


Leftover potential: Keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator.

bit of work.......but enjoy
r/peter
somewhat disappointed no one questioned my previous nick...
......looks like i might change it back;)

[KiwiRallyFan]

Well I am a big rally fan who lives in NZ. I enjoy competing, watching and collecting the models.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Kiwi is a native flightless bird here in NZ, and New Zealanders are often referred to as Kiwis.

I'm also a fan of the Aussie V8 Supercars, and will admit that I am starting to get hooked on these Biante 1/18's. They're just so darn good!.

Hopefuly the diecastholism won't get to me like it seems to have affected poor old Glen....flashing lights and fireworks? :D

[Graeme]

I didn't intend to disappoint with regard to your identity, however I did figure that any reference to something like a 12" meatloaf might be misconstrued and/or incur the webmaster's censorship !!

Be that as it may, your recipe sounds delicious.

[Highlander]

Mad Maximus , jim the goose and toecutter were inspirational.

Highlander ? I liked that Movie too.

[Glen Alexander]

HAHAHA Kiwi, I was trying to refer to Boogie Nights where he came up with his porn name, but couldn't quite get the words right. But my name aint Dirk Diggler.

Dirk Diggler, hmmmmm Maybe that was terrine's referral to 12 inches, I don't know!!!!! :confused:

[v8coupe]

My nick on these forums came from my email address.
Spent ages trying all possibities of cars I like for an email addy.
Ended up with this one, use it almost everywhere.

[SmartyMarty]

...my name is martin....which i ever hated.marty is shorter and doesn t sound that bad...except thinking of marty feldman.
when i was in melbourne last year a friend
called me *artyMarty because of a bad habit of mine..:D
i just changed it into smartymarty..which is very smart ....well...probably just like 12 inches....a wishful thinking...;)

[Esses]

I guess mine is very obvious, eh? Terrine's recipe does sound delish. but who has the time?

[zeitgeist]

'Zeitgeist' is German for 'mood of the age' or 'spirit of the times'. It was also the name of a now-defunct 80's alternative country band from Austin, Texas.

I could've picked 'Goanna', I guess. I liked them, too.

BC

[V8SS]

Mine came about after several attempts to create an ebay user name. It was inspired by my ownership of a 90 VN SS. I now use V8SS as my user name on forums etc as often as possible.
My thread signature of "Built not Bought" can also be found on the back windscreen of my SS so if any kiwis out there see it, thats me.

[GT40]

Again the name say's it all.
I just love these cars (anything FORD)
Bit pricy at the moment for an original but I'd love to get a replica kit to build, they look pretty Hot.

[Goggles Pizanno]

Mine is after a little known American race car driver from the mid 60's. I saw him race on TV one time and the name just stuck in my head.

[brchi17]

For GT40,
have you heard of the Roaring Forties ???
here's a link to their web page
http://www.roaringforties.com.au/
I know of them because they are built in my home town & I drive past their factory everyday when I go out to our factory.
They look, sound & go like the clappers !!!!!
cheers.

[GT40]

Thanks Brchi17

Yes I saw an article in a mag last year on this mob and have been dreaming of owning one ever since.

All I need is a $12 Lotto ticket (and a win) and the cars mine :D

Cheers

[brchi17]

I been feeling the same since I saw his 1st one (the one he imported from the UK) & saw it flying around the industural - is was th quickest thing I've seen flying around the estate (I've also seen my share of rally cars using the estate as a test track during quieter hours).

They must be producing quite a few cars in that factory as every week there seems to be a different coloured cars sitting in the driveway of the factory.

Suprising they arn't that dear considering what they are. I think a finished rolling chassie is around 20k US. Just add a motor.
cheers.

[Tumbo]

Some guy from skool got Tumbo from Tunbridge.....it stuck.....
Better than my primary skool name of Pickle.....apparently Michael becomes Mickel becomes Pickle?....

Someone got tumbo@hotmail before me though......Tumbo_1 was there, sounds better too....being the no1 swrt fan i am lol

[Oh Five]

Thanks, members, like i originally stated... SOME are obvious... just thought i'd try something different

[Conrod]

I fell out of the bus on conrod straight at bathurst, on a school trip when i was a kid. The name sort of stuck.

[passenger]

well after trying a few nicks and getting no where i came up with this one .
passenger is what i do for thrills , i road race sidecar motorbikes and im am the passenger .

hopefully the pic will explain all !

[terrine]

funny........i always thought you was called passenger because you couldnt keep a license

r/peter:D

[chups]

Mine came from way back in primary school.
A kid started calling me Chubby Chub, (im not exactly the slimmest guy) but with a bit of pursuasion he decided to stop calling me it but then he started calling me chup-a-chup, then he left and my mates shortened it to the Chupster then chupster then just chups. most of the mates from school i still talk to introduce me as chups to their friends and most of them and their families dont even know my real name. so if you meet me in a shop or somewhere call me chups, thats what i respond to these days not gertrude.

[brchi17]

With all of the new members visiting the forum, i thought it might be a good idea to re-visit this topic.

cheers.:D

[in1way]

I approach most challenges in life 'in one way'........................except one thing, but I can't talk about that here as this is a family forum!!!! :D

[Malik]

mine is my old RPG character from primary and high school... I like it so I kept it and now live on the net as Malik... I use it everywhere so if you see Malik anywhere else.. chances are its gonna be me :)

[chups]

[Malik]

chups.. went to school in North Queensland and am 24.... :D

[chups]

so i spose i didnt go to school with you considering i went to school in mt gambier (SA) and a bit in WA and in only 20

[Malik]

definately not then.. I did all my education in North Queensland (primary, secondary and tertiary levels) and only moved over here in 2000

[bernoo]

Yeah that's a good one, but i've heard it about a 1000 times before...........still funny though..........glad I made someone laugh!!
It's better than using my real name, after a string of 4 boys my olds were sure they would get a girl, I popped out & they gave me a girls name anyway. Pity we can't use avatars here, I,ve got a cool one to go with my nick.......now that would make you laugh!!!:D

I prolly dont wanna know considering it was an R8 but... what happened to it?

:eek: :confused:

[vt2envy]

Malik

Someone decided they wanted it more than i..It's been gone for a couple of months now with no sign..It is more than likely in a 1000 peices in a hundred different places..They did well to get her..the keys were well hidden and the house alarm didn't seem to deter them...Should have known something was up...I went to go to work one morning and found the roller door partly open and with my ute sitting next door with all my gear on it and nothing taken should have guessed the car was the target..All said and done I"m glad she is well insured..

[the_goldie]

vt2envy - have you got the insurance money yet and bought yourself another one?!

Geez vt2envy that's not good at all.

Bloody theives. Hopefully when everything is sorted you can get yourself another one.

Grubby

[brchi17]

vt2envy,
hopefully your not in the motor trade & then you won't have the trouble my father went thought when his car was stolen & not recovered.

Back in '93 his XE Fairmont Ghia (with Country Touring susp.) was stolen late one night from Nth Melboure & of course the insurance company (VACC) said it was a inside job from the outset & tried to get out of paying.

After aprox 7 months & several letters & stat decs from various people they finally paid up.

Good luck on finding a new ride.

cheers.:)

dang that sucks man.. well I hope your insurance company pays up and you get yourself something to replace it... are the R8's still available or were they just a VX version? maybe a nice VY HSV? GTO maybe? :)..

when ya get the new one man gimme a call and Ill sleep on the back seat with a shot gun for ya so it dont go missing too..

[vt2envy]

Thanks guys...Seems she won"t be coming home as they have found some of her on the black market.Which is good in some ways as now the insurance can be settled...Not sure what we are going to replace her with yet as this is the second clubby I have had trouble with.The last one,a VS,was coined twice,had the rear deck spoiler smashed and I replaced the badging twice.
The little lady reckons I should upgrade the triton to a new tray back commadore but no plans yet...

[Ford Boy]

VT2, sorry to hear bout the R8, but when it comes time to replace it, lets hope you see the light.... buy blue oval.....

[Three_o_seven]

Or a Daewoo.......because frankly who the hell would steal one?

[XW #901 180mph]

Mine is from my recent racing exploits at the Lake Gairdner Speed Trials in March this year.
XW (Falcon) #901 (car number) 166mph (top speed achieved).
Actually it was 165.95mph (267kph).
We had many problems up there with the ancient Mallory Ignition I was using with a top end missfire and could not get it to rev past 6000rpm but I have since fitted a $1200 MSD system to the car and it now revs freely to over 7000rpm as tested at Mallala last weekend.
Have to wait until next year to do the 170mph that I am sure the old girl is capable of.
Also got a picture in the latest Street Machine which has done an article on the event,didn't think I'd ever see a flat black rough around the edges boozer in SM.
Go to www.dlra.org.au for all the info on this amazing event that goes for a full week of racing,camping and partying.
You will need to click on the spot where 2003 would be (alongside 2002) to view this years results.

[brchi17]

It seems that there has been an influx of new members over the past month & thought this thread could be worth revisiting again for some of our new members.

cheers. :)

[Leigh]

Just realised I haven't posted on this thread...

My username goes back to the Sold.com days...it wouldn't let me use my existing account (which was sort of like Brads, made up from bits of my name), so I re-registered. In an act of sheer frustration due to all my choices being in-considerately taken by others:rolleyes:, I punched in my initials (LC) then typed randomly...

I kept the same username for every login because it is always available (funny that), and people know they are dealing with the same person...(although I may have to change to lcfp2298 on the CC's forum because I can't get on with my existing login...)

Cheers;)

[BB]

I use BB as its an abreviation of may full name (kind of obvious really)
I have used ballsy on another forum we all know so well but I don't go there much. Ballsy has been a nick name I have had for years and its not because I am well endowed or gungho, its all to do with my surname. That was all well and good when I was a lad but now that I am a mature age gent, that and the fact nobody calls me that any more I have moved on.

Go ahead guess.....The reasons are obvious. When I first joined I couldnt really think of a username. So instead of using some petrolhead jargon..no offence boys, I joined the two names that give me pleasure. Being a STAR WARS fan and remembering last year's Bathurst victory. Hence :JEDIHOLDEN.

[younglion]

Just curious as to how one decides upon there username what did all you guys do to think of a username, mine was because i was a fan of rick when he was at the HYL team, interesting to hear some other anecdotes or reasons why????

Mine's a little harder to explain but ;

A theme park in the Netherlands called Efteling (http://www.efteling.nl) is like a story telling place about little gnomes called Laafs (http://www.laaf.nl) which used to live in the North Pole , but when it froze over, they dug underground and came up in Holland. Here they made their new place called LAVENLAAR or "lazy lair"

[FPR FAN]

I registered as FPR FAN when Craig Lowndes was driving for them. In hindsight my user name might have been better with something Lowndes in it, but it doesn't matter to me. I am still an FPR FAN anyway, as my good friend Mark Winterbottom is driving for them now.

Hi There. All the other names I wanted where already on the race track (forum) so I went the next best thing.

[GTHO Racers]

My user name is pretty obvious as I am Falcon GT and GTHO mad. I bought a new BFGT early this year and it's a great car but I still yearn for an old model.

I have been collecting framed and autographed photos of Falcon GTHO's and Allan Moffat, focussing on Phase 3's for some time and a number of 1:18 scale models are a must for any collection.

I think I have all the Biante 1:18 race version GTHO's available except for the black historic car. I am desperately awaiting the Bill Brown phase 3 and wait in hope that Bainte will produce a Moffat/Geoghan Super Falcon twin set.

My model collection is very small but still they are some of my most valued possessions.

Cheers
Ken

[jager]

I've been here a while but don't think I every got around to posting in this thread.

Jager = Jagermeister, a wicked drink and sponsor of any different racecars in Europe from 1970 to 2000.

[timmythetellytubby]

I once found a toy tellytubby in a park when I was at school years ago.... I took it home to give to my dog.

My mates called me Timmy the tellytubby, so when I went online its all I could think of.

[Kashmir]

Kashmir is my favourite Led Zeppelin song so thats where mine comes from

[Raider 351]

This is hardly a revelation but being a Ford fan and a Canberra Raiders fan I chose Raider 351.

Cheers.

[Dez]

Had this nickname since highschool... somehow derived from my real name Derek.. it became Dezza by classmates.. then shorted to Dez by the guys.. then extended by the girls to Dezzles.. and then back to Dez..

[Oh Five]

Nearly a year has gone by, so maybe a little nudge again:)

[05shan]

Brock fan and my name is Shannon, original i know:D

[Holdennumber1]

Well, my real name is Thomas but I chose Holdennumber1 as a username as Holden are number 1 (quite obvious, I know). I am a massive Holden fan and collect Holden models, support them at race meetings and don't really like many other brands or car apart from Nissan, Pagani, Ferrari and Lamborghini, so Holdennumber1 fits me quite nicely.
And Maq, I'm not just talking about the V8's, so you don't have to call me Holdennumber3.
Cheers,:)
Thomas

[HQGTS74]

HQGTS74 for those who don't know, refers to the 1974 HQ GTS monaro of which me and my dad have in the garage. Two of them that is:D I love all monaro's though:)

[XTRALO]

Mine is just an abbreviation of “extra-low”. This was a name that was given (XTRALO) to a HZ Premier I owned many years ago that had air bag suspension.
I’ve always had the view that any car can look good with the right set of wheels and height, weather it’s a base model or top of the range.
I currently own a VZ Commodore Acclaim riding on 19 inch wheels with SSL King Springs.

Not quite. Thats my nickname from school. I was a Rugby League player and I was a bit of a cheeky bugger so a mate named me after Fatty Vautin. But it had a second reason in that I was a skinny lad too. My pop called me Greyhound for a similar reason. All *^%$# and ribs.:p

My first ever forum moniker was UsStonerFan, and I still am under that on the Official Casey Stoner Forum...then I joined the UNofficial Colin Edwards Forum, and for whatever reason thought MinnesotaOutlaw sounded cool...I was always called Min or MO, and then I thought I'd shorten it to Minno...still stupid, but not as much as the full version. And now I'm known as Minno everywhere, so it stuck. SHOULD have gone with my high school nickname of Vito...but ah well, too late now!

[Road Runner 72]
