I'd rather mine be kept a secret.:D

Oh wait, nevermind.

DC_Targa 05-14-2005 06:58 PM

I was doing a search for Porsche stuff a few years ago and stumbled across a new (at the time) racing game that was exclusive to Porsche's. I downloaded the online demo of Porsche Unleashed and gave it a try. When it asked me for a name, just used my Porsche for an idea, and became 76Targa in that game. I later bought the full version of the game and played it online using the same 76Targa name. After a bit of time I joined an online racing team called the Demolition Crew. So I replayed the Evolution mode of that game to earn all 80 p-cars using a new handle... DC_Targa. When I found PP, I used that name as well. I still play Porsche Unleashed online most nights and keep looking for PP people there. It's been a while since I've seen a Pelican play PU, but a bit ago there was a grand total of 3 that I've seen online. Hey, it's just a game but is likely the only opportunity I'll ever have to drive a GT1!

Cheers,

Dennis aka DC_Targa

The exhaust system on this bike was Jet-Hot coated inside and out, including the muffler internals.:D

I had the EXACT same bike! It was built to the hilt and was my first road bike after MX. I nearly died several times:)

I love these old posts that resurface.

I had a friend at one of my former jobs that used to call me Speedracer. I guess because I am a smaller guy, and quick on my feet, well I used to be anyway. The other part is because I love the town I live in.

A Quiet Boom 05-14-2005 08:33 PM

I've explained mine in previous posts but here goes again. I used to drag race a 1981 Ford Mustang, the car was a total beater on the outside as I'd spent all my (at the time bachelor) money on the motor, trans and suspension. People often asked why I never painted the car and my reply was always "hey, it looks good at 130mph down track". Anyway one season I got greedy on the tune on two occasions and blew the bottom end out of the motor, I was leaning the car out as much as possible and running a lot of timing searching for some elusive timeslip. Any both times I blew the motor I just quietly put the car on the trailer and went home. In my mind there is no sense in getting mad over broken parts when you race cars, it's part of the game. Well the second time I blew a motor it was rather spectacular including a loud "boom" several of my racing buddies came over to console me as well as help push the broken car on the trailer and all of them were astonished that I was so quiet about it, a close friend mentioned that I must be quietly exploding inside or some such thing and called me "a quiet boom" the name sorta stuck with me after that and I eventually used it as my player name for Unreal Tournament. After I bought the P-car I signed up at rennlist and eventually here using that nickname. Everywhere else I'm know as rsr911 since my '66 is a narrow body version of an RSR and I had intended on building a copy one day until I decided to go narrow body with the '73.

RSBob 05-14-2005 08:41 PM

RS-Bob. R.S. are the initials of my first and last name Rick S. "Bob" is a nickname that came with the monkey.

Hey... at least my MIDDLE name's not Lee. Then I'd have to have been a serial killer.

MOMO3.2 05-14-2005 09:57 PM

My initials + my 911.

I initially tried to regester with just "MOMO" and found it was already taken. I foolishly added "3.2" so I could easily remember my login name. I had no idea that those seemingly innocuous digits separated by a decimal point could incite such rage (envy)among the SCWDP'ers--sheesh!

Perhaps I should change to something more neutral like "911 Sweet Spot"!

look 171 05-14-2005 10:08 PM

Did bicycle racing for many years started in the 80s. Trained and lived like a monk. Finally got out of college and started working ( bad mistake, shoulda stayed and not face the music). Stop racing due to lack of training time. Rode and train for fun. They were the best days of my life. Had a bike from a French Co. name LOOK, model 171. I have never chat on line before, when the Porsche came along, I needed to locate a RUF wheel. Someone suggested Pelican, but all the cool name were taken, so came LOOK 171.

Started using it in high school. Inspired by a cool character from a fantasy novel series. I still use it for everything online (email, PP, Halo2). Even though it's kinda silly sometimes, I'm sentimental on the inside and so I can't give it up.

BeauBlues 05-15-2005 12:53 AM

I used this name as my absolutely first email address, way back when I first got a computer, almost 7 or 8 years ago. I was trying to think of something with my name in it that wasn't already taken. I happened to be watching the blues brothers movie while I was thinking. Then it hit me, Jake Blues, Elwood Blues, "Beau Blues"!!!! The name has stuck ever since.

Wavey 05-15-2005 04:25 AM

I used to race 500cc Grand Prix bikes in the original WERA series and in the AMA road racing series (mid 70's). I had a reputation for being hard to pass due to "making myself wide" on the track. I know, stupid and dangerous tactic, wouldn't do that now. Anyway, a certain skinny red-headed 14-year old from Texas, who wasn't old enough to hold a competition license but lied about his age, and who's name you wouldn't believe if I told you, once said "Man, you was wavin' all over the place", hence Wavey was born.

The "master" part is a very tongue in cheek reference to my skill level.
