Trini - short for country of origin Trinidad.
Tony - short for first name Anthony.

Even though my car is a "BS" lookalike of a 993 RS, the BS is for my initials: Brian Smith. 911 because I took that handle when I had my 911SC many years ago.

Mine is a play on the Autobahn and the movie Cannonball Run, with a twist on the spelling of Autobahn.

Mine was taken from my fantasy football team (the Brewmeisters).
The team was originally known as the "Pickled Brewmeisters". After one
season the "Pickled" was dropped. The stein in my avatar is named Schultz.
He and an Irish stein named Dooley were part of a local advertising
campaign in the 50's and 60's for "Utica Club" beer. The beer wasn't
very good but the commercials were a riot.
And yes, I do enjoy a good beer!

On the internet you never know whose "listening / watching" so I always take my neighbor's name (s) as my logon(s)! it will really be a bummer if he's a member since he owns a 997 GT3 RS (but I did pitch for the Ottawa Lynx two decades ago).

...and my car's not really white, it's blue!

You might be able to figure it out by looking at the pic. It's been my tag since the start of the internet web thing. But yes I love to ride you guessed it.... Snowboards. Since 1985 my first board was a wooden burton backhill. That's like over 20 years..

What with the perpetual bouncing, I'd hate to see what you avatar will look like in, oh, forty or so years...

I think I used to have CarreraDos as my username when I first joined Rennlist many eons ago. But when I became Zone Rep for PCA in 1999, I changed it to my name. Thought if someone had a complaint or question about PCA, I might be able to help and having my username be my real name might help. I should get John D. to change my Rennlist join date to the original. I was there before Porsche made him change it to Rennlist from Porschelist. I think it was called Porschefans before that.
