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???

XRW is actually the model of my (favourite) car backwards - which you can read when I am in your rearview mirror :)

147 is my lucky number and is also tattooed on my arm in chinese.

It means NOB in Mongolian. NOYB in english are the first three letters of an often use response to probing questions. come to think of it now, I should have used that one instead but Mongolian won out!

Nicknames May 15, 2006
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!

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 ;)

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:

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

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 ;)

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....!

anyway, im well off topic, i just love cars though !

“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”.

From the arabic word sharqiyyin ("easterners").

Also they are fierce arab nomadic swordsmen of the middle ages.

I'm asian but i chose this name to sort of mix with the environment.
