About 14 months ago, when I began to seriously look to buy a Porsche, I signed up on ebay so I could use some additional search functions. That ID was geta911. Shortly after I bought my '04 996, I "found" the Rennlist Forum and since I had my P-car, I modified my ebay ID to be gota911.
I would like to hear the story behind the handle of gr8330

Well, the first Board I ever joined was at avsforum.com which is a Audio / Video / Home Theater Board. I needed a username so I picked 1080iAddict which implied I am addicted to HDTV (which is 1080 lines of resolution). Then I joined here and picked the same name so I would not forget my handle!

"Nitmr" is pronounced Nightmare. It the official Department of Defense abbreviation for the VMA-513 "Flying Nightmares" and is used when a flight from VMA-513 (Marine Attack Squadron 513) files a DD-175 (Military Flight Plan).
When filing a flight plan, a number would be added to the end of "Nitmr". For example, if "Nitmr 11" was entered on a flight plan, ATC would call that flight "Nightmare One One".
The first AV-8B that had my name painted below the canopy rail was aircraft 26 from VMA-513 or "Nightmare Two Six".

Littlebigfish - came from the time I was 3-4 years old and caught a pretty big flounder off the coast of Maine. I use it as my online poker login as well which carries a connotation in that game.

I'm a growing fan of Japanese samurai films from the 50's and 60's. One serial character is Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. I thought to use that name as my handle, but thought it too obscure and not the right reference for someone who owns a sports car. Since I also follow Formula1, I went with the last name of the former number 2 driver for Toyota: Takuma Sato. Also probably not the best reference as he has a tendency to blow up his engines or tangle with other drivers. Ah well . . we can't always be perfect.
