User's Nicknames

[fpv_gtho]

I've been thinking about this lately, and do you think many of the UCP users have a nickname used on the site? I know for me, alot of people have started just calling me fpv rather than fpv_gtho which is great but gets confusing at times when discussing about FPV the company. I know i simply refer to Falcon500 as falc and some people are calling Matra et Alpine just Matra, but i havent really noticed many others.

[Falcon500]

Personally i just think its because were lazy and us australian especially chop and change words to make them shorter EG carbirettor= Carbie saves breath/typeing. of course thats just whats going through my brain.

[Batmobile_Turbo]

in canada we don't even call it chevy we call it chev, we shorten other things too but that's all i can think of.

for me you can call me bat, bat turbo, or plain old batmobile but don't call me batty

TurBat?

As for me, well... ZK? Or Ads... don't really mind


...actually, Dumbass may be pushing it a little far...

[Suka]

Well i used to be Sukapunch on all the other forums i used but i shortened it to Suka when i got even lazier (is that a word? )

[Doza]

Doza is short for Lintondoza, the nick bestowed on my by my friends for how gangsta I do.

[Homem de Gelo]

theres probably heaps out there, carb as you mentioned, diff, dizzy(distributer) and probably more but i cant think of them or havent heard of them.

one thing that always gets me though, is everyone around here pronounces chassis as "shazzy", when everytime i hear an american say it its more like "chassy" or even at times pronounced how its spelt

[Wheelman]

Some people like to call me "Sir" for short.

i think some people are eventually going to just call you HB..

[NoOne]

I don't think I have a short form for my user name, so I'll BS a bit ....
NoOne is a short form for the real name I wanted to use on the forums but wouldn't fit ...
I wanted to use "Some guy who's really into cars, but is somewhat lacking a bit of dignity"
