How did you come up with your username?

ipkonfig · 21st June 2008, 16:51

Derived my handle from the term ipconfig. A networking term it is, ipconfig (Internet Protocol Configuration) Microsoft Windows is a console application that displays all current network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings.

Replaced the c with a k

Chose my handle after watching the movie 300...

punterccrx8s · 21st June 2008, 18:54

My name contains punter(because it contains the first 3 letters of my name) and ccr,x,8s which signifies all the models of koenigsegg.

I am an avid Vintage & Classic car collector and also a scale model buff.
I always liked the American marque Auburn/Cord/Dussenberg, although I could not get to own own any of them. The next best thing to do was
to have a username as ' Dussey ' short for 'Dussenberg' !

nemo · 5th July 2008, 19:53

i watched the Movie Finding Nemo on the day i discovered T-BHP and decided to use it as i liked the name. In retrospect, i think i should have chosen a better (read manly) name

. Little did i know, at that time that this site would end up being the most visited site by me.

Mods, is there a way to change the username now?

diesel_headrock · 6th July 2008, 12:24

Well i have always had this thing towards Diesel engines,which i still do and i just love them for their crudeness and the torque figures that they give.

My second love after Automobiles has always been music, started with the metal wave now sobered down to the 70's classic.

So there we have combination of both.Diesel_Headrock!!!

infiltrator · 8th July 2008, 21:58

well uhm me? well used it ever since school, and the name stuck. feels appropriate,

speedfreak7116 · 10th July 2008, 01:38

When I was 7 I would sneak out with my Dad's bike and do crazy speeds

so my Mom named me the Speedfreak of the family and my first bike's number was 7116 so thats how I took up the username..

bhp1 · 10th July 2008, 01:59

TEAM-BHP forum is the biggest inspiration. Apart from this since 1994, I have been buying cars with max. bhp. In 98 honda city was the bhp king with 100.

muneemmk · 11th August 2008, 04:42

Have a very very bad memory so used to forget my user id in other forums, so used my name.

Never thought i would live on a daily diet of TeamBHP.

evo · 11th August 2008, 11:25

Path_Finder · 16th August 2008, 20:22

Absolutely no connection – just wanted to keep something different – I signed up for an email address with this name when the Path Finder Mars mission was on! And somehow kept it as sign in name in some other cases too though I do not use that email anymore.

Be proud of your name Nemo. It is not only associated with a little clownfish.

Poor Jules Verne must be turning in his grave. When he named Captain Nemo in 20,000 leagues, he must have never thought that his mysterious, slightly crazy anti-hero would no longer be manly.

Be proud of your name and do read the classics my friend. Nemo was mysterious and the reason he was named that by Verne in TTLUTS was because in Latin it means "No name" or "Anonymous"

Here is an illustration of the mad genius Captain.
