here is a thought....
since there is going to be the biggest GTG for the aussie rx-8 owners in October, so i thought it'd be nice to refer/call fellow 8 owners by his/her real names.
i dont like ppl call me by my forum username, all my "close" friends calls me by my real name, only strangers and some customers calls me ezzy. :p
anyway, i thought i'd put a list together in alpahbetical order of forum username of all the ones i know and YOU GUYS are more than welcome to add yours onto the list.

8A8Y 8 = Phillip
auzoom = Andrew
BVD = Chris
Choppy = Phillip
DAZ13B = Darrell
EZZY = Eric
Lock & Load = Michael
MissRx8 = Kalli
nojooc/RXE16T = Paul
Revolver = Dave
RXP33D = Tuan
Takahashi = Stephen
timbo = Tim
Tim Tam = Tim
Tonym = Tony

okay..... i will stop here
/me runs awyas to make more friends :D

 

Let see who you left out (gasp!) :p

Hymee = Mark
geisha8 = Alfred
Gomez = Steve
ILIV48 = Stuart
xatnep = Gary
MrRX8_R = John
Brewer = Vic

so far I can have on top of my head for the definate comer for the nationals. Timbo will have the full list.

 

Some people may prefer not to have their real names (even in part) published on a public forum. (Not me - you can find mine out easily). It would be good if we had a private forum (maybe on rx8club.com.au).

 

oh well..... guess im safe, because the ones on my list were gathered from varies threads, posted by themselves :D

 

So in this case,

Takahashi = Taka

 

OMG Now I have to learn twice as many names
But me thinks Daz13b maybe be called Darren not Darrell (however I stand to be corrected :D
xatnep=gary=hey-you=etc.etc.

 

Labrat = The Chemist in Black

 

I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al

It's all your fault xatnep... How are we supposed to say that after six beers? I suppose I shouldn't complain... it'd be worse if you used a Hasselblad :D .

 

Here we go again more paranoid behaviour you guys crack me up , i think i should get my wife who is a Psychologist to come to Wakefield and provide consultations .

Good idea but learning them all will be hard - as nerdy as it sounds name tags might help!! :o

<ducks>

Speaking of identifying people at the Nats, any word on whether we decided to get personalised plates and/or a sun strip across the top of our windscreens (I prefer the latter - probably watched too much touring car racing in the 70s)?

The other advantage of the windscreen idea is that we can keep them on for the whole weekend - plates can only be used on the track.

 

thats going to look nerdy as hell.....
remembered back in the late 90's at a car show, we had to wear a tag.... that was embrassing... :D

is that some sort of vinyl sticker? i;'d say its a great idea, and will def. be cheaper than the personalised plate idea

 

I think my name s/be fairly easy to work out & if you try real hard you may be able to work out the colour of my 8 too :D LOL.
Regards
Rick

 

Pocket protectors with special Nats pens.. Collect all four (one for each state and one territory) :D :D :D

 

And when the first invalidated warranty comes along because Mazda read something on the forum about a member whose identity was obvious or derived by adding up lots of snippets of information.... what then? I've heard of manufacturers turning up to track days to collect VINs and invalidate warranties. It's unlikely, but why provide any more information than necessary? I've heard that MNAO have staff dedicated to reading online forums, who knows what Mazda Australia is doing?

Michael, Mazda could easily work out your identity and invalidate your engine warranty based on your car pics and mug shots next to the car and your posts about the CZ. Hymee's in a similar boat. You guys might be comfortable with that, but some people may not.

It's generally considered courteous to check with a member before revealing any identifying information such as removing number plates from pictures, unless you have owner's permission to post that. I was reminding people of that. At least Ezzy took the time to check if people had personally posted their own name before posting a summary list.

 

Who dares wins .
Dont worry be happy

Wins what...?

ROFL :D

 

Okay, okay - it is a nerdy idea! Forget it. :o

But I still reckon we get the vinyl strips on our windscreens with our forum nicknames on them. Makes identifying cars on the track really easy and renders captions for the photo album redundant.

 

The way you say this sco.... it sounds like Mobi on Rove show last week.

 

I missed that show.

 

Come on, what do you mean Wins what...?

Bonjour,

Del Boy

 

Apparently Kate Langbrook (speaker at the Panel and host of breakfast radio in Melbourne's Nova) brought her baby Sunday to Rove's show and show Australia her little baby. Mobi came on after her and said celebrities should not involve their kids in TV show because the risk of getting kidnapped and harmed. The paper editor slammed his comment in the editorium last Thursday.

That is all.... I listen to Nova every morning.
