Mine is the callsign I was given by the rest of the guys in the squadron - they are usually for something really stupid/funny you've done, or a play on your "real" name. Face came from the A-Team if you remember that "classic" 80's TV show!

Cheers,

I was watching Cannonball Run with my kids and had been explaining the German Autobahn to them. One wrote this name down and said there should be a movie called this. I decided to use his spelling.

An old comic character from my checkered past perhaps?
No...probably because I started building and riding rigid framed Harley's almost as soon as I could walk!

s2per · s2per's Garage

Even though it sounds like something you're in while imbibing ("...he was found in a drunken stupor..."), it's an old nickname derived from the family surname.
And hell, on rare occasions (like at the Sebring infield, late Friday night), I've been the drunken Stooper.
