Mine - well Frontline Assembly are my fave band for about 15 years hence FLA. Was going to have DM from Depeche Mode but decided on FLA some years back. Not too complex i guess....

Well mine doesn't take a genius to work out. Used to be jims16v with my last Corrado, and due to it sounding a bit stupid when I got a G60, I changed my name to jimsg60 :)

 

I use 'Chicane-UK' a lot on online games, and non-car forums etc though - Chicane chosen because I really used to listen to his music a lot.. don't so much these days (release the new album damnit) but am too used to the name to think of a new one :)

well I spent ages coming up with mine... eventually I came to the decision that it should be relevent to me so I looked at my actual name name Phil Kett and then it struck me - lose the ett!!! :wink: :lol:

Chicane is awesome!! No idea what he's up to these days. Far from the Maddening Crowds is an all-time fave though.

 

My name goes back to my college days when someone gave me a sponsered kangaroo for my 18th birthday. Bless the little bugger, I still sponser him you know, lives at the local zoo. Haven't been to see him in a while though.. feeling the pangs of guilt...

Red=Fast actually came from me mocking someone on http://www.sfbavw.com after he gave me nothing but crap when I swapped a built 2.0L 16v into my former Corrado G60 that blew its charger. His signature used to say Yellow=Fast (His car was a yellow VR6T GTI). So one day when I was feeling a bit saucy, I decided to mock him by changing my name to Red=Fast - My new G60 is red and is somewhat fast =P.

 

Normally on non car forums I go by Joshed.

I was winding my 16 y.o. nephew on an internet site he used to frequent - thought he had a stalker, I eventually confessed when he started to get worried. He kept on saying "I should've known it was you" "How could I have been so stupid".....Ah the joys :D
