The Authorized Mechanixfetch Where Did your Name Come From Thread

[ruim20]

Mine comes from my name, i registred at the time just to see some pictures lol, guess i found the forum a bit more interesting

Rui = Rui
Machado = M

the number came from my age at the time iirc.

[Timothy (in VA)]

My name is Timothy and I live in the state of Virginia. Rather self-explanatory, unmysterious, and completely unexciting.

I originally used this name on another forum that was dominantly American. When registering, they asked me for my first name and I guess I took it literally because I was young and naive (I was 15 at the time). Later, I added (in VA) to avoid being confused with any other Timothys that showed up. I still visit the website from time to time, but I haven't posted regularly on the forums there since about 2006.

Because I wanted to be consistent, I used the same name when I registered at UCP. In retrospect, it may not have been the best choice for such an international forum. I kind of want to change it, but I'm not sure what I'd change it to. Now I'm less concerned with consistency. I go by "CougarTim" on IMCDb and have an entirely different username on an entirely different website.

CougerTim... like a GILF

[ErWin76]

I have to say i can't remember who came up with this nickname, but i know it happened when me and some friends had a very drunken trip to Stockholm about 10 years ago.
ER comes from my lastname, but WIN part i can't explain.

[clutch-monkey]

I have no clue, but virtually everyone I know asks me about it.....I know the "z" at the end is from my name (Zach), but the rest I have forgotten. I came up with it waaaayy back in the day when I needed a good alias for various games.

lol, since when do you post anymore

[ballast]

i got this name when i first got the honda civic it had to reach a minimum weight and it did once i was put in the driver's seat,hence the name ballast (some unkind folk have sugested that all i'm good for)lol

[whiteballz]

I vote +1 ballast for best reason

What can I say? I was seduced by a beautiful, older woman.

(Don't get any ideas. I'm talking about my car.)

[Dantera22B]

Dan (my name) + Pantera (my favourite band) + 22b (one of my favourite cars) = Dantera22b

[Rockefella]

John D. Rockefeller / Rocafella (I like Jay-Z.. other rap not so much)

I like the baller status of it. A lot of lost and gone members from the first page.

[whiteballz]

the guys on the first page were around when i joined, They were good people.

Batmobile turbo did have an unhealthy obsession with the darkness though.

[Rasmus]

My parents. Supposedly they liked it.

[CdocZ]

lol, since when do you post anymore

I may not post regularly anymore (got kind of jaded recently by all the random crap about the GTR vs. ZR1 and related ), but I read a lot of the insanity here nearly every day . College takes up quite a lot of time I am realizing, but if anyone wants, you all can still message me anywhere (, pm, whatever).

But yeah, in short, I am still here, heheh.

It's the fault of (pretty much) one man.

I've been thinking about the UCP Awards recently (the upcoming ones), and I tried to think what epic events happened this year... none really, the only thing I could think about to summarize 2008 on UCP is "LOL GT-R"...
