I chose "curveraider" for all of the curvy roads in the SF Bay Area that I use to rip down on my road bike (type you pedal) and now I enjoy in my 993.

Those battery powered ones are the bee's knees.

Gordo - nickname (spanish for fat, although I'm not fat.) It's in reference to my last name.

993 - my car.



For you Speed Racer fans, I named my Porsche Trixie after Speed's girlfriend!

I started using P7269 back in 94 or 95 on an AOL chat room. P is the first initial of my last name and 7269 is my work ID number. My friends call me P7. LOL...

Ha, the name I was born with - but that was a mistake
I was so green to internet speak when starting on the 928 forum, my chosen ID was incorrectly entered as the password ...... never bothered to correct it, for dial-up and Windows ME of the era had me beaten.

Neuf Cent Onze = Nine Hundred Eleven
You could call me Froggie but I have been living outside France and on four continents for the last 24 years. I consider myself a citizen of the world.
Porsches are fairly new to me, thanks to some enthusiast friends who attracted my attention to them. And there is no going back I am afraid!

The TOGA switch. Many pilots know it. It's a switch which is in our 737 (and probably in many other planes). Placed in front of the throttles. If you press it, it will select take off or go around power depending in which phase of flight we are. This is the Take Off and Go Around switch.

CarmG993 - abbreviated first name, last name initial, and the only car worth putting in your name.

Umm..well, I think I'm a nice guy who cares for his friends and remembers their birthday, but I've been accused of saying what's on my mind and not letting anybody push me around-so I chose "Loosecannon" as a bit of a joke about myself.
