[gifdy]

Scottish equivalent of "Cheers" - where I come from anyway

[TurboTony]

It's what they call me at work in my part time job. I've always been told that I am so quick in doing things..... However I made the mistake of telling my work mate of my forum name when he was drinking a cup of coffee. Not a pretty sight!

[phillpot]

A nickname used by a good friend many years ago now (my surname is Phillips)

[Alex 855]

Alex 855 .... my Name in most Forums, especially in Volvo-Forums.

ALEX = Alexander
855 = 855 is the Volvo-indication for the 850 Station... 8series, 5cyl, 5 Doors

Greetings from Austria
Alex

[The Lukas]

Because 'Lukas' wasn't available...

[tozerman]

Nickname at school was "Tozer"

[Jaye R]

Well mine's just sad then isn't it...my name is Jaye and my surname is Ridley - hence 'Jaye R'.

May have to have a re-think

Cheers
Jaye

[Le TVR]

About 20 years ago at the car club there was the usual conversation:

"What sort of Triumph is that?"
"It's not a Triumph it's a TVR"
"Yes, so rare you will probably never see another"

"Well it's not a TVR then, it's the TVR...."

And she's been called that ever since.

[ketvrin]

I replaced the "v" in Kevin with "TVR"

[Bluebottle]

My nic used to be Tsunami on account of my first tiv being Ocean Haze with a tidal wave of power
Then one particular boxing day it didn't seem particularly pc to post with that nic, having just replaced my car with a metallic green one that had a particular sheen to it in the wet it became Bluebottle (in reality it should have been GreenBottle but i preferred the humourous link to the Goon show with this nic).

[Barkychoc]

Chris Bark + working for a certain chocolate manufacturer based in Bournville somehow ended up with me being called Barkychoc.
ts quite handy as for some reason its never taken on forums

[SteveOS3]

It's what my wife shouts when she wants me in from the garage. I added the 'S3'

[steve j]

Because Lukas took Lukas

[Elfit]

Elfit ~ a name made up by one of my kids years ago ( actually for a kitten!)
It seemed individual and anonymous enough when registering on various forums ages ago. At the time I didn't realise how much I would be using this forum. Now the name doesn't really seem appropriate but I haven't bothered changing. (TVR Tim would be appropriate but that has been taken)

Cheers

Tim

[dixieflatline]

My name is taken from a character in William Gibson's Neuromancer.
