DriftNismo · February 21, 2008

I've always loved Nissans but more than anything i've always love drifting. I used to go under the name DriftGears on NFS:U2, NFS:C and THAW online, then i eventually moved onto new games and on a few of them DriftGears was taken, so i called myself DriftNismo. Now i guess it's kind of stuck.

Quite interesting to see how different people got their nicknames especially some such as Carboy. I mean I always thought that number was his d.o.b but it's actually a karting time :D

Nige · February 22, 2008

My name came around because my name is Nige and my favourite number is 7 !!!

SIMPLE :D !!!

Who · February 22, 2008

Lwsbrck is basically my RL name with the vowels removed :p

As for Crazed-dodgem...

well, i used to have extremely awful internet (wanadoo) and used to lag like a complete biatch online. well, i was on LFS with a RL mate and an online friend, and they were taking the mick out of my lag/driving.

Ray (online) was saying 'eff me, his lag is mad. he's jumping around like a crazed jack russel on hot coals (he's random like that :p) and tom (my RL mate) was saying 'be greatful, his driving style is reminicent of bloody dodgem's'

I pute them together and came up with Crazed Dodgem (Y)

Well Carboy was actually my nickname. The ZR1 etc. will change after a couple years.

It used to be Carboy, then

Carboy18971 (18971 came from an indoor kart track record I made if 18.971 sec)

I always tried to work that out when we cruise.

I thought it was,

Date Of Birth, Day 18, Year 1997, Month 01.

But your 12, so didn't work out :)

ScaR · February 24, 2008

Well mine was Scarface.au as I loved the movie (the .au was to indicate that I am from Australia), and I shortened it to ScaR because it is easier to call out during shoutcasts lol.

Speedtouch · April 26, 2008

When we first got broadband, before we got wireless, we had a 'Speedtouch' modem. I just took it and kept it. And I don't want to be called 'Netgear' :p.

On youtube and TDU it was taken, so I used Speedtouch100, and for TDU I used Speedtouch_Unlimited.
