neo33 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 What inpires your handle? As for mine, I am a fan of Japanese Anime and I used to watch every episode of my favorite series: Neon Genesis Evangelion (have all of them on DVDs) which predated The Matrix. I have been using that handle ever since and along came Matrix which I am also a fan of. So I changed the avatar and sig for a more appropriate alignment of time but the root is from the Anime.

Audio Flynn Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Junior and Senior year of high school I wrote an entry level column on stereo in the HS newspaper. It evolved into a roadie carreer in HS and college. I think on my second column the entertainment editor came up with the headline "Audio Flynn speaks out on turntables", review of Dual 510 with empire cartridge; it stuck.

BigBusa Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I've had this name on many message boards since 2000 when I bought my brand new Suzuki Hayabusa. It was BIG and everyone referred to it as a BUSA. That's where my BIGBUSA name came from. The suzuki hayabusa has been in the guiness book of world records for the "fasted production motorcycle" since it was introduced in 1999. Directly off the showroom floor it produced 155horsepower at the rear wheel and would reach a clocked top speed of 196 mph! After blowing through a road block in western Mass setup specifically for me, evading the 6 police vehicles that were chasing me and hiding motionless in the woods for 5 hours until darkness ...I realized I was either going to end up in a casket or a jail cell. I have since sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonecj Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I have had a number of Mercury Cyclone's in my day, one of which had a Cobra Jet engine. I have used Cyclone on most everything, but its usually taken, so I add the CJ to the end. The pics on the link above only show one of many.

Marvel Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 A whole group of friends in the late '60s used comic book characters for our nicknames. Mine was Captain Marvel, usually just shortened to Marvel. Others were Shadow, Phantom, etc. Real name is Bruce. I didn't like it when I was little, and hadn't heard of anyone else with that name. Now I meet them everywhere. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut-Throat Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 My passion is flyfishing for trout. The prettiest trout that I have ever seen is the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. It only swims in one of the World's waters. The Yellowstone River in Yellowstone Park. I kind of like the Double Entendre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I shoot 3d archery tournaments almost every week from January through October. 3d archery is a contest where life sized foam animal targets are set in hunting type situations at unmarked ranges up to 50 yards. There are scoring rings in the vital areas of the animal. The skill of the game is accuratly judging the yardage (within one yard usually) and acurate shot placement using proper archery form. To win there is a lot of time spent practicing and tuning both the bow and the arrows. Some times the kids let the old man win. The zapper refers to the Internal Cardioverter Defibrilator (ICD) that was implanted last year. Like the one that Dick Cheney has to prevent fatal arithmias. It's not too bad, it allowed me to retire at 55 last year. Can't work around running engines anymore and that's what I did for the last 16 years in my garage. I diagnosed and repaired drivability, emmissions and air conditioning systems on automobiles. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Well I started out here and just about everywhere else on the Net as NOS440 which stood for the Nitrous Oxide Systems and the Size of the Engine in my 1967 Camaro Street/Strip car. Then Kelly was partially inspired by the name NOS and added Valves to it when he thought up the name of my website. So then he suggested I change my forum name to NOSValves so here I am Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
