Where Does Your oOple-Name/Nickname Come From ?
 
Theres a few random names on here, some are funny, some are odd, some are normal... Intrigued to see where some of the more unusual ones came about :wtf:
I'll kick off with mine 'smokin' pretty much tongue in cheek because when i used to race in the good old days my cars were always a bit slow.. hence i was not err smokin round, my dads was probably funnier- smokin henry haha
In various other circles i'm known as Quazi after a farmer who just sits under a palm tree all day drinking palm wine (which is supposedly what i do), and also Smee (from red dwarf) sssmmmmmeeeeeeg heeeeeeaaaaad :D

telboy 02-07-2008 09:28 AM

Mines pretty obvious because of my name, but a friend at work used to be a big 'only fools and horses' fan, and so nicknamed me after 'Del boy', and it's stuck since.
:D

used to be called Tez at school, but that went away when we left.

ben 02-07-2008 09:34 AM

Well...... do i need to explain?

jimmy 02-07-2008 09:34 AM

Mine is because it's sort of my name. Actually I'm called James I think, but I don't like that anymore because it doesn't fit my 'crazy' image. I did consider changing my last name to oOple but I've not had the balls for it yet.

millzy 02-07-2008 09:36 AM

DO it

Jimmy Oople :):)

would the wife change hers to Vicki Oople as well

Lee 02-07-2008 09:37 AM

I think if shane is committed enough to get a tattoo then you should at least change your surname to oOple.

My name is lee because thats what my mum calls me I dont want to confuse things. :thumbsup:
Although Vinny still struggles:(

millzy 02-07-2008 09:40 AM

Im Millzy as no one calls me chris- infact i dont answer that much if im called chris

Just the normal school yard nickname Y added to my nickname and then the S got changer to a Z at some point in the 90s

jimmy 02-07-2008 09:41 AM

haha, you're right there Lee. I'll do it!

bigred5765 02-07-2008 09:42 AM

anyone thats seen me will know why im called big red, but for those who havent im a red head and im a big fella lol, well was red its more like white now

Lee 02-07-2008 09:42 AM

Will vicky have to re-marry you to become mrs oOple :confused:

Carl is the 5765 you vital stats ?

MK999 02-07-2008 09:52 AM

MK or Mk, is short for my name Mark if you bodge it about a bit with engineering terms and also my first 2 initials... and 999 because it's not long enough to put into most places as an account name :p

ben 02-07-2008 09:54 AM

I think grant williams is MW02V.
I always thought it was something dirty. Meat with 2 veg :woot:
But its actually his dads number plate i think ;)

jimmy 02-07-2008 09:57 AM

that would be an appropriate time for you to 'do the noise' Ben! haha

josh_smaxx 02-07-2008 10:00 AM

i didnt do shanes but are you committed enough lee :p i can do you a "piespeed" or "fister" tattoo :D.
my oople name came from another forum i was on and thought i would just keep it the same but it is rather boring and someone already had "NeilD" on here :rolleyes:

Lee 02-07-2008 10:31 AM

I could have fister disappearing up my Arse :woot:

Then again it sounds a bit painful to me:cry:

Sorry dont do Arses :D

Chrislong 02-07-2008 10:42 AM

Didn't know you did tattoo's Neil! bit of an artist eh? See you shortly :)

Well mine is obvious, its my name. My nickname from years gone by is Longy, and I still knock around with my school mates so it gets used a fair amount. There are too many people around called Chris for me to react on the first shout in a busy area. LOL. The only trouble is there is another lad in Bury called Longy and he's same age, and his first name is Chris, ha ha.

_JP_ 02-07-2008 11:44 AM

pretty obvious JP its my name :) had to have _ to make it longer!

my name on most forums is Jammin or JamminJP - Jammin as I am throttle jammin :p

Kecky 02-07-2008 12:26 PM

My surname is Keck, so i just added a y.....not that i needed to mind, it's not like many people have the same name :D

frogger 02-07-2008 01:04 PM

People that used to scuba dive with me in the older days used to call me frogman and so I thought of using that but I did a Google image search to look for an avatar I came across a game I used to play when I was younger which was frogger so I chose that instead :eh?: :D

Cruise 02-07-2008 01:21 PM

Well mine was given by fellow Racers for my driving style (low flying with hard impacts) and adds with my last name to Cruise Missel (missile would be of course correct but most Germans won`t know the correct spelling +also low flying and hard impacts)

Ralf.

Wraggy 02-07-2008 01:35 PM

Mines fairly obvious but has only recently had a "Y" put on the end of it again.
i was called several things in my school days from "Wraggsy" to "Jam Wragg" to "on the Wragg" !!!!:(

i think it was Mick Doughty who 1st said Wraggy by name Wraggy by nature when he saw my driving all those years ago ..(still havnt changed ):woot:

ive hijacked my dad user mw02 veg its the number plate on his car. he was a greengroucer so mike williams 02 veg simple. but one day some one pointed it out to him its alter meaning lol meat with 2 veg priceless:D.

Gnarly Old Dog 02-07-2008 03:41 PM

Mine's a mixture of things really. When I came back to racing after many years, I figured that I wanted something that was obscure but would have rugged / off road connotations cos that's where all the real racing's at - hence 'Gnarly'. Old, well that's simple cos I am now - well, at least compared to most of you young whipper snappers. Dog simply cos that's what they used to call me at work.

Quite fancy a change now though. "Old Duffa" has a bit of a ring to it....

mobile chicane 02-07-2008 04:12 PM

If you've seen my rc driving no explanation is necessary

i4n 02-07-2008 04:54 PM

Because someone else on another forum had already taken Ian.......

B44&501xRacerEX 02-07-2008 05:31 PM

4 Attachment(s)
Well, my first name is Brian.
I chose B44501x racer EX because modified 4-wheel has become my favorite class. The B44 is loved by all racers and it's the world champ, and the 501x is loved by people like Jimmy, AaronR and myself.

I couldnt decide on which car I thought was best so I bought both, Here's a few pics of Albion
ILLNOIS to better explain this. We run mod-4wheel in the wintertime.
Since I have an E-firestorm as well, what is stopping me from racing 2 classes for a change? I have a set of pink taper pins for my truck also...:D

These pics are from the BIG WINTERBLAST race we have every year.
The third pic is pro driver Ben Ellis that I got to meet at Linton IN.
Before the winterblast even happened(last pic), Jeff showed up with this.
Thus influced me to get a 501x, because I got to see one run before I bought me one.:thumbsup:

Northy 02-07-2008 05:43 PM

Genius B-Mag, any pics of you? :confused:

Isn't that your car in the last pic?

G

lochness42 02-07-2008 06:01 PM

My parents have company called Nessy since I was child. I pretty liked it so I've chosen Lochness and added 42 because Lochness is almost allways allready registered (42 is answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - I love Adam's books)
