my brother as a baby called allways called me felix for some reason. it stuck and is the name i have allways gone by.

Named after the Movie with Mel Gibson. In High School, my friends called me Mad Mike when I was driving my Datsun B210 at the limit all the time. A want to be race car driver of sorts. Stuck with me for 21 years now!

At least we have upgraded cars from a super beater Datsun to Porsche's. However as the lot boy of my fathers used Porsche sales lot. I got to drive nearly EVERY sort of Porsche before heading off to College. One summer, my parts car was a 1976 930. Not too bad for an 17 year old with a heavy right foot.

Cheers,

I suffer from manic depression.

I didn't want to come up with a user that had 911 in it, since I figured that I be posting mainly on the P-forums and thought it would be obvious that the reason I am here is that I have a P-Car.

So, since I live in Sapporo, Japan, I thought I would come up something original!

As for my interest in Porsches, it really is pretty simple. Apparently, when I was 4, it was the first car that I could recognize. My Dad thought it was weird but I figured it out to being from having parents that are 1st generation German immigrants.

I've lived in Japan for the past 14 years and my German skill has long past but my German blood must be good for something because whenever I try to figure out WTF is going on with my car, I just think what a German would do and -- BINGO! I figured out the intermittent wiper switch location within seconds. Only, a German would think of having switches for things like door mirrors and wipers to be located in different places, especially in places some where most people would not expect.

I took me over 30 years and a divorce to get one!
If I only had really known, I would never have bothered getting married and got the 911 that much sooner!

Cool thread.....answered a lot of questions about some names I've seen.

SWA911
Southwest Airlines.....yes I work there and no I'm not a pilot but my employment there has allowed me to live the dream of owning a 911.

Thanks

Mine is after a Titanium mountain bike that I won 12 years ago in a magazine contest. It was modeled after the old style Newsboy delivery cruiser bike.

Yes, and it's a very small world, as the bass player (Leon Medica) has an uncle in our local PCA chapter. They're still kickin" & playing down here from time to time

I had a license plate on an old modified Datsun 510 (2bleu4u). I painted almost everything blue, and some loved it and some did not thus tobluforu. Why bleu and not blue? I'm french.
God I loved that car.

My last name is Kailin

And all this time I thought it was a Scooby Doo reference!!!

First two letters of each of my three names (the SC is strictly fortuitous).

sscates - I didn't realize the name would be listed as my screen name as well. Everywhere else it's FLTPLAN. User name for other forums and license on the 82 930. I thought it was a pretty fitting license plate for a Tea Tray Tailed car. And if anyone got jumpy about it, I could pull the "I'm a pilot" thing on them.

Someone mentioned, "This really is an old thread", and they are right. It is so old that I have retired from two jobs plus the military. Does this make Milt really old????

Shoguneagle: Military call sign; just stuck with me all these years.

Hi Ya, "Uncle Miltie"

Mine refers to my other machine with a horizontally opposed engined ; a 1967 BMW R69s motorcycle.

My user name came from my passion and job. Iam a dental technician and make porcelian teeth all day. lots of detail under a 20 power microscope. I would much rather spend the time at the track in my 911 !

Back atcha, Steve. Got that 2.7 hummin' yet?

Yeah, I'm old now. Old enough to draw SS.

Nothing original here.

Another pilot as well, for the past 37 years (cubs thru warbirds to the B-747, now the Citation X).

Al kinds of sports cars in the past up to my old 65 vette. Always wanted a Porsche and finally got my 72 10 years ago.

Well I'm from Canuckistan and at the time I joined I was looking to purchase my first Porsche which was a RS Replica...
I would have bought it, but the owner changed his mind....

" Fun Fun Fun on the Autobahn...."

I was reading about the nitromethanol fuel by VP Racing fuels when I suscribre at the Pelican's forum. I change the name to spanish and I eliminate the last letter "l". That's is you see Nitrometano. I choose Dart Vader for the avatar because Luke Skywalker was a looser.
