[speeder]

Funny you should ask. When I joined Pelican, I was new to online forums and had just bought my first PC. I'd also just bought a 1982 911SC that I was going to need a lot of tech help with. When I realised that I needed to pick a user name, I thought of a few not very clever ones and picked "speeder" because I had a penchant for speeding on the open road. I was actually surprised that no one had picked it yet.

I saw a 911 once with a vanity plate that said "SPEEDER", (or some close variation), and thought it was funny.

I was at a Porsche gathering a few years later and someone was standing 3 feet away from me saying, "speeder!". I completely ignored him, (thought he was saying "Peter"), it never occurred to me that he was addressing me. It was Wayne from Pelican Parts.

That's about how much connection I have to that name. I do not use it on any other BBSs.
