Too many forums and memberships - it's hard enough remembering my name!

I was "caretaker" of 1957 Spyder 550A0123 for three years. If you Google the chassis #
you'll find it in the Samsung Transportation Museum in Korea presently, along with a nice
gathering of other Porsche factory cars.

Back in 1994, my final college paper was a business plan for an online speed shop hence the name Netspeed.

1st initial (a) and last name (zasadny). Pretty original...

Lear 24 was the first jet I ever flew, which is kinda sentimental. It was very old school, none of the push button crap new jets have today:D

I'm an avid bird hunter and Beretta shotguns are my favorite by far. Particularly when waterfowling.

Tsunamiboy 11-11-2007 12:48 PM

I dubbed my 914 a Tsunami Scooter when we used it to climb up some logging roads to get to high ground after a Tsunami warning siren went off in Oceanside, Oregon where I live. My girlfriend started calling me Tsunamiboy after that periless escape

I spent a few years in San Luis Obispo going to college. Original screen name was SLO Dave. Unix does not like capitals or spaces in user names. It became 'slodave'. I'll probably use it until I die.

Not real original nor applicable to Porsches - oh well. Honestly, I had no idea that it was going to be my screen name. My other passion is aviation and I fly a North American AT-6D.

Mysterytrain 11-11-2007 02:21 PM

Mystery Train, a song written by Junior Parker and Sam Phillips. Elvis' last recording at Sun Studios in Memphis before going to RCA, a dark comedy by Jim Jarmusch. The name of my last band and Jack Daniels was spoken for.

ZEF was my nickname as teen......Everybody here (all my friends and family) know me as Zef...

Rory, this is not one of my proudest threads. I probably started this when I first came on the BBS (the 911 side, that is). How in the world did you....?

Oh well, if you read the first couple of pages, I paid for it. ;)

squerly 11-11-2007 03:14 PM

I was driving my 930 at a Porsche - Corvette challenge and my car got "squerly" in a corner. Crashed and the car had to be removed on a flatbed. Anyhow, the name "Squerly" stuck.

dipso 11-11-2007 05:56 PM

Dipsomania is the official medical term related to an uncontrollable craving for alcohol. It means "compulsive thirst" but the term when used, is reserved primarily related to the consumption of alcohol. As a result, a dipsomaniac is a person in which this condition appears, in the form of a physical and psychological craving for ethyl alcohol, especially liquor. However, the obsession is so compulsive that the dipsomanic will ingest whatever intoxifying liquid which is at hand, whether it is fit for consumption or not. Dipsomania differs from alcoholism in that it is an uncontrollable periodic lust for alcohol, with, in the interim, no desire for alcoholic beverages. However when dipsomania manifests, it usually results in multi-day or weekly episodes of excessive binge drinking and blackouts. It generally involves solitary alcohol abuse in combination with the loss of interest in any other usual activities. It is not known what causes dipsomania, it is thought that enzyme deficiencies may contribute to its root cause, in part contributing to depressive illness in many dipsomaniacs.

Damn, now the cat's out of the bag.

deathpunk is a reference to a Norwegian glam/punk rock band that I was a big fan of. Tho I do wish I had the option to change my user name to something a bit more subtle.

Thrlls 11-11-2007 07:23 PM

My initial emotional feeling when I floored my new 2001 BMW M Roadster for the first time.
However, I have since sold it and kept the name "Thrlls" with PP, as I started here in the Bimmer forums.
Strange thing is my wife thinks it's for something else! :)
Oh, and since Hawaii only allows 6 characters on the license plate, I left out the "i".

homemade 911 11-11-2007 08:01 PM

My name...
 
When I started out in this vintage racing game...long, long, ago...I had this horrid '68 912 that was more bondo, duct tape, rivets, and sheet metal screws than anything else. I tore the thing completely down to bare metal...and either sold, gave away, or threw out all the 912 stuff. I had people tell me "yeah but, it'll never be a REAL 911" My answer to that always was: "I never said it was...it's just a homemade one" Hence my name. and here it is...and no, it ain't slow.

Barney is the nickname my car got (factory Aubergine), and 911RS was what it looked like for a long time. Now it's getting more aggressive bodywork and suspension.
