Tuddy is my nickname, no prizes to those who can guess what surname I have.

I had to re-create my account after my old account somehow had issues, like me (), reaching for 200RWKW out of my BA XR6 N/A so Tuddy200 it is.

Buggo's been my nickname for ever, everyone (literally) calls me Buggo, no body calls me Dave except my mum. People who I've only met a few times know me as buggo, they don't know my real names Dave and get confused when someone ask for me
And _gt because that's been my hotmail since I was 12, so buggo_gt is my internet name for everything.

short for a business name. which is also the domain name for it.

added an 8 because i have a V8 when got the custom plates


i would have signed up as my nickname (Daemo) but apparently someone already had that and i wasn't in the mood to get too creative with a new one.

Because the wheels that fly off my car intercept the paths of pedestrians.

Default Re: Where did your user name come from?

Stuck with me from high school ... used to know a fair bit of cars and stuff ... and used to fix probs here and there on friends beat up pieces of crap.

As there were so many people out there using the name .... I changed it a bit and it's has stayed as it is ... for many a year.

Tempted to change it ... but as others have said .... I use the name throughout other forums

I am not a mechanic ... but I'll have a good go at stuff though.

Default Re: Where did your user name come from?

well, it's my business... but the story behind that is:

Quote:
trippytaka [pronounced "trippy-tah-ka"] is a poorly spelled reference to one of our favourite shows, Monkey, a cheesy 80s Japanese TV series. The cult classic, which featured a really catchy theme song and laughably bad English dubbing, had a character in it named Tripitaka. This character was a young male priest who was apparently played by a chick, meaning our label is basically named after a ladyboy. Avid fans of the show might also notice that our logo is a derivative of Monkey's crown.

Further debate on Tripitaka's gender can be found here: http://tr.im/DGw6 and here: http://tr.im/DGwb
