Off topic but a bit of fun -- why your username?

M5Rick · 11-11-2021, 02:51 AM

Self explanatory with mine, car and first name.

Silverstreak76 · 11-11-2021, 03:41 AM

I am SilverStreak76: I own a Silver Metallic 325xi and my son nicknamed my car that and 76 is the year I was born. The image is my son and I favorite car in Fast and Furious as we are both big Paul Walker Fans and he is a car nut with all the Forza 4 and working on Forza 5 car collections.

Minacious · 11-11-2021, 04:32 AM

I've always been told I look mean and like someone not to mess with. Minacious is a dictionary word that means menacing or threatening, so many years ago I started using it pretty much everywhere outside of official documents. If for whatever reason Minacious is taken, and it has happened, I use Mister Minacious.

Another forum member with little imagination. If you can't figure mine out you probably shouldn't be here.

On second thought, perhaps a little explanation is required to explain the white trunk lid in my avatar. I joined this forum before I bought the car. I was about 90% of the way to buying a Lemans blue e90 when I joined, hence the Lemans part. The deal went south when the guy just ghosted me, wouldn't answer the phone or emails.

It turned out for the best however because I fell into a much better deal on the white e90.

That's interesting, have you had any thoughts about changing name to, say AlpineE90335xi ?

F32Fleet · 11-11-2021, 08:16 AM

I originally used a gaming tag because it was easy to remember. I grew out of it and essentially modified the tag of someone else because I lack imagination with this sort of thing.

Which reminds me. I need to update my avatar.

BMWGUYinCO · 11-11-2021, 11:02 AM

Actually, I have been a member on this forum for over 12 years...I recently lost access to sign in to my last name, and the recovery option just wasn't working for some reason so I established this new name. Self-explanatory.
Edit - come to think of it, I can't even remember what my last name was....

Nachbar means Neighbour. I just found it funny.

Oldgixxer · 11-11-2021, 01:30 PM

I used to have a decent collection of older Suzuki GSXR motorcycles which I drag raced,roll-raced,etc...just like BMW cars and bikes are referred to as Bimmer's or Beemer's the GSXR is often referred to as a gixxer,and since I have a soft spot for the 1st&2nd Gen GSXR's (IE-old models) the name Oldgixxer just made sense;even though people automatically assumed I was an old man from the name I actually was not.

I've used that screen name almost exclusively on every forum I've been a member of since '98...But now that I actually am old I guess it's appropriate lol

dinonz · 11-11-2021, 01:47 PM

Name is Dean but been called Dino (the Dinosaur) since I was about 5, and I'm from New Zealand... hence dinonz

NoMoreVauxhalls · 11-11-2021, 02:04 PM

I've always driven Vauxhalls - over the years I've had a Corsa, Astra, Zafira, and Insignia lol (with the odd VW Golf, and Ford Escort thrown in for good measure).

After turning 50 and paying off the mortgage, I said "No more Vauxhalls!!" and bought my X3 lol.

(Great thread , BTW!)
