| I was just wondering, why don't everyone tell us what does his/her nickname mean and/or why did he/she choose it ?? Waiting for ur replies !! :) |
| constantine |
| constantine= really loved the movie... am a graphic novels/art freak...loved the idea...and sounds like a name i would choose for myself if i could speak when i was born... :wink: ... |
| the_zooter |
| Ok, I'll have a go at explaining mine...... Zooter is a cricket type of term. (Ok, here comes the boring bit...) A "zooter" is a type of delivery a leg spinner bowls (made most famous by Shane Warne). When I was younger and a budding leggie myself, I tried to master this delivery, but unfortunately completely ruined everything I'd learnt and couldn't bowl at all for many years!!! Anyway, after that I just liked the word - and when I first him the information superhighway, I kept typing my name in, only to find that they'd been taken, so when trying to think of something original that nobody else had taken, I thought of my favourite word - zooter - hence its stuck with me - I am The Zooter !!! What about everyone else??? |

| fayz |
| I’m not an original person Fayz is short for my given name and is what most of my friends call me back home I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're a kid from Palestine :P |
| XRW-147 |

| kanelli |

| wannabe |
| i chose my screen name because i know that there is no way i am going to settle in dubai in the near future no matter how much i want to... but i can dream and wait patiently for the next 40 yrs till i retire and get my life back so although not in or from dubai ...i wannabe! ...lol |

| Mel Marie |
| Mel Marie Some people say it's the goddess of love for the Romans :roll: I say it's a hidden desire for a thing or a person. |
| thorntonashley |
| Mine is simply my name, thought it sounded more professional in a way,rather than making up a nickname... perhaps not..! XRW, wouldnt 22B- 147 be a better one.. or perhaps STi - 147 I agree it is an awesome machine.... better than a 911 turbo though ? less dangerous i know that much! |
| XRW-147 |
B22 and ITS would be mistaken for other things matey :) Plus my first one was just an MY99 WRX. The STi joined the household later but being known just as "X" kinda caught on :D When you have 400hp at all 4 threads and 750nms of torque from 3,500rpm at your mercy a 911 turbo doesn't compare ;) |
| Corcovado |
| well i am a huge fan of brazillian jazz and i listened to this song 3 years ago and someone stole it :evil: so i looked for it for a long time till i finally found it and its called "corcovado" which is the christ statue in Rio Brazil which i really like so voila :) |
| Palkid7 |
Oh man, u reminded me of my old car and my old days :cry: , when I used to be a speed-car freak :twisted: :twisted: !! well not any more !! I am stuck now with a 1.6 engine !! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
| XRW-147 |
Speaking of old :) http://www.evolve.ae/forum/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=14 I do miss her! |
| 888 |
| my fav no. 8 is a good no. in the Chinese language. It means prosperity, or rather, it sounds like the character meaning prosperity in Chinese. Triple 8 is even better :wink: |
| thorntonashley |
| XRW, OMG that is a serious piece of kit, i had no idea you had modified your scooby to such an extent... I can imagine the 0-60 times were around the 4.5 mark..! Q, mile in 13 ? My friend has a Rover 220 Turbo in the U.K with some serious mods...345 BHP with a weight of only 1.3 tonnes...think it would have been a good race ! Are you driving something more sober nowadays ? lol |
| XRW-147 |
| 0-60 in 4 flat ;) and Qtr mile at 12.2 with 1.4bar of boost. Didn't get the chance to run it again with the 1.6 bar tune cause I came here - should be good for an 11.9. Run around in a Porka now mate - but hopefully not for long ;) |
| thorntonashley |
| Cant be bad ! what were you thinking of, something german ? maybe a EVO VIII MR FQ-400 would re-kindle your zest for excitement, not sure if they import them here but 450 BHP standard OMG ! If you have watched Top Gear before, they have tested one round a track and its far quicker than a gallardo or a Ferrari 575 GTC! you might find this link interesting....! http://www.topgear.com/content/tgonbbc2/laptimes/thestig/ anyway, im well off topic, i just love cars though ! |
| XRW-147 |

| Douce`Amere |
| “Douce Amere” is parfum: “A fresh oriental blend of cinnamon, tiare flower, jasmine, tagette, musk… very sweet... a kind of "Hypnotic Poison" in a much more complicated way with the amertume of Absynthe... with an undercurrent that changes from sweet to bitter for as long as one keeps wearing the fragrance... a masterpiece of subtlety”. To be translated from French it sounds merely as “bitter sweet” or “bitter beauty”. |

Not that lame, u'd fit right in with the gang from Muppets or Sesame Street. |
| Moester |
| oh yeah :evil: well at least my nick name doesn't sound like a broken down robot hehehe j/k |
| GAB |
| OOOOOH! Six posts and I reckon this guy is pretty good X?? Made me laugh! :lol: |
| Moester |

| geraintindxb |
| wow, it's my turn now. "geraintindxb" Geraint is my english name which is given by myself. it means the Fighter in the War. and i love a movie called " Gladiator". obviously the figher is in Dubai now:) |
| the_zooter |
Isn't Geraint a Welsh name?? :? |
| geraintindxb |
Yes, u are right. |
| XRW-147 |
Z, I don't think he meant english in the context of origin. Typically Chinese people don't get given an 'english' name at birth so along the lines of growing up they tend to give themselves an 'english' name to make things a little easier. |
| the_zooter |
Ok, sorry, I'm with it now!!! Thanks for clarifying!! |
| XRW-147 |
Yes, 19/day total would be considered an off day for you matey. If it were 19/topic/day then it would be closey aligned to reality :lol: |
| makhan |
| makhan=butter, do i have to say any more as to the uses of butter. from kitchen to parliament, from the cow till the UNO, and everywhere in between, u find it everywhere. |
| apl |
| apl are my intitials as I'm too lazy to create yet another userId and mix them up. I tend to get creative on passwords though :) only have 7-8 and play them around with increasing numbers. |
| Moester |
well i'm one of a kind :wink: |
| GAB |
| :lol: :lol: And you would be implying?????.................Arnie doesn't work much either?? :lol: |
| geraintindxb |
u r right. usually chinese people just got a chinese name which is given by their parents when they were bron. you can say chinese doesn't have english name. but they might get an egnlish name when they started to learn english in shcool . It's not offical one, but it's still an english name.;) as i mentioned Geraint was given be myself. |
| Moester |
| not trying to imply anything here |
