I've been meaning to post this question for some time, but for various reasons never got around tuit.

Where/How have you guys come up with your screen names? For some of you, it is obvious; i.e. Bonnie75209, 2ManyZs, Ben, Smokey, Mike, etc.

But for others, I'm really curious as to the stories, or meanings behind the names. Especially names like: ZmeFly, beandip, Zvoiture, Alfadog, Mr Camouflage, Cardogman1, 1 Bravo 6, santamaus, GunnerRob, and many others that I see periodically on the site.

So, if there is a story or meaning behind your screen name how about sharing it with us. Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks,

Carl

Hi Dozer-

sure is a small world- i did 2 years of high school in Alfred, and Keith (2many) has ties there as well!! So what is your real name, in the event i flag you down one day? And have you hooked up with ZCCR yet?

My real name is T.J. Vieira. i havn't hooked up with the club yet, waiting to get the chance to goto a meeting may/june for sure i'll go active! beam me an email at dozer171@yahoo.com! would love to go out cruising once i get my triple dellorto's running!

VTECseoul, by the powers of Nissan, has mutated into 280steveX

i just bought the 280ZX last month, my name is Stephen & this is a Z board; therefore i used a simple name & put it in place of the Z. if you don't know what a Z car is then stop breathing right now. i was previously VTECseoul on other boards, and that comes from the Accord my wife drives & i had planned to modify. the Accord has a VTEC engine and i am Korean, the capitol of South Korea is called Seoul, thus the old SN.

I used to have a body patch panel business named Z Source so I just kept the name.

I had on my 240Z when I owned it from 1981-92. When i sold my 240 i turned the license plate back into the DMV, secretly hoping one day i would own it again! Lo and behold, when i applied for it in January, it was still available so i can put it on my 280Z! This what you'll see everytime you see me drive down the street!

"See Nick's Z Go!"

I think my name speaks for itself, although I've always been called Doolan by my friends it's my last name and yes it annoys me too Kmack :classic: . My sister has the same problem as me her friends call her doolan also.

Anyway I had the nick 240z at Zdriver.com but here it was taken. So I decided Gav240z as it's good for people to know you by name and it's something I can use at zcar.com and hybridz etc.. even though I mainly use this forum.

Carl your bambi killer story has got me thinking I could do something similar my 260z managed to kill 3 cars in it's accident. Some WRX "AKA boy racer" pulled out infront of me from stopped traffic and I tried to avoid him and the parked cars but alas no space and ran into him then hit a parked car which in turn went into the car in front.

The good news the 2 parked cars were ticket inspectors cars. The WRX had more than 4k worth of damage and my 260z was written off. I managed to Salvage it's L28 P90 head a rarity of an engine here in AUS.:classic:

But my new car the red 240z in the gallery can't really claim to what the 260z did.

I wanna call it something like Eleanor in gone in sixty seconds but not sure what to call it yet???

Any suggestions???

i like naming cars, i think it's a semi-healthy, and fairly normal thing to do! although, lady folk don't especially like it, especially if the car shares the same name as an ex girlfriend :stupid:

!

I call my Z "the Zed" and the 240K is "Jeanie" - named after her previous owner.

fstr240z- faster 240z

I had worked hard one summer at a grain elevator and cotton gin(i live in texas, and i am a college student). I was working 7day 12hr weeks for close to 3 months. I was able to save $3000 for my 240z. My friend asked me are you going to make a better looking 240z or a faster 240z.

Instead of getting a new paint job (which my paint wasn't all that bad for a daily driver) I purchased performance parts.

So I made a faster 240z, thus

the name faster 240z.

:tapemouth :tapemouth

Hey, Lachlan,

I notice that there are no Zeds in that list.

Guess they didn't want to show up the others huh ????

Rick.

I dont think so Rick! I think the guy who ordered all 50 high-spec performance and luxury cars to be stolen already had a garage full of Z's!!!

Have you seen the movie? It's a pretty decent movie just to watch all the nice carssss... too bad the XJ220 appeared on screen for no more than 3 seconds!

:mad:
