Explain Your User Name
Just like vanity plates, it would be interesting to know how you came up with your user name. As for me, I had to do a lot of metal gymnastics to come up with mine. For sure, it had to be unique to what defines me. Scarry thought and tough job. Anyway, here is how I came up with speed220mph:
In high school I was given the nickname "Speed", which is what many of the local law-enforcement types wrote on a little slip of paper they handed me through the driver's side window. That is the first part of my name. The balance of my user name is the top speed I reached at the Bonneville Salt Flats on my way to a C/Production record, which got me in the 200MPH Club at a speed of 217.849 mph in 1981. 
Let's hear how you came up with your user name.

Blackjack, You did what I wanted to do, but the doc said you're colorblind. You can ride in the back seat, though! No way. If I can't drive it, I ain't gett'n in it, 'specially if they's gonna shoot at me.
Pittsburgh! I got my private ticket and flew out of Green County Airport, Waynesburg, PA. Steelers, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Green . . . the Iron Curtain. Small World.

Tom - I'm just a boring unimaginative Brit, so I never even thought of using anything other than my real name. Sorry.
BTW - visited a friend yesterday to view progress on his 302 rebuild. All he knows about that engine is straight out of your book. And he's doing fine - thanks a lot, where would we be without it?

"Pez" was the first thing that came to my mind when making an account on a BBS many, many years ago.
I used Satan as a password for that account, no idea why. (Heck, I still do, but I bet noone here will find that BBS)
I then made an account somewhere else and "Pez" was too short, I put together the two and it's what stuck.
Sounds like a horrible handle/user name but I'm so used to typing it.

I'm new to this forum, thought I'd use this thread to introduce myself.
I'm Alan, I live in Buckinghamshire, England in the UK.
My user name comes from the brand of kit and chassis of my car.
Great forum you have here.
