What's in your post name?

Just curious...and as I can't think of anything better to ask at the moment.....tell me why did you choose the forum name you have?

Mine is bleeding obvious....never owned a rotor now I am converted!

Be interested in who replies and the reasons why.

Ardios for now

Mine is dedicated to my best friend... my puppy dog that passed away at 14 years of age.

I am also a fan of ASTROBOY!

Wow there are some really bleeding obvious ones out there....my fave so far is Astro......I hold a flame for Gus, he passed away a month ago at the age of 17 not bad for a standard schnauzer, I bet they are playing together somewhere!

As far as Astroboy I loved him too, what about Marine boy and Speed Racer....classics!!

Takahashi.... I was asked to make up some Japanese name when I started learning Japanese back in junior high school. At that time I used to love a cartoon drawn by Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku, being still my most favourite love story), and Taka in Kanji means "tall" in chinese... so it is easy choice to name myself Takahashi back then.

Just it happens Takahashi is such a common name and being used to be as the character in Initial D, driving a rotary.... so I say to myself when I signed up 4 years ago now - why not?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumiko_Takahashi

That is Rumiko san there.

Well for me other than the reason that lone wolf just sounds cool, I'm big into wolves and tend to be a bit of a loner. The 025 is just 3 random numbers I used to get a previous name many years ago, and it just stuck.

I like the name enough to use it for most places it'll be seen by others.

I just started thinking about what makes my car special.

To me, it's a revolutionary design.

It came from the Evolv concept.

The rotary revolves at a high speed.

Mine happens to be gunmetal grey (titanium is a misnomer - titanium is usually a silver colour).

I happen to think it's a 'gun' car.

I like shooting at people.

Okay, that last bit was a joke but the nature of the forum is that you occasionally take pot shots at the views of others.

So many imaginations and reasons! I think it's great to read people's reasoning behind their names!

Revolver yours is the most "out there" so far. I mean this in a nice way

...umm, my car is white. So that's half of it.

The Rain part...i don't know really. I guess cos I used to be called BlackRain when I had my black car...it sounded a bit more menacing then.
