Minicobra1 01-26-2009 04:17 AM

I use to have a Cobra mustang, then i bought a Mini Cooper S. When I installed stripes on my hood, my friend made a comment like, "look it's your Mini Cobra"

Yes, for now, but I've been trying to sell it. Although I took her for a ride last night and I'm having second thoughts. LOL :-) This car is so fun and easy to drive fast, it is really connected to the road, I'd almost venture to say (I'll prob get booed for this) that on a really tight short course the 370Z would have a hard time keeping up. Even though the Mini is Turbo, it makes a lot of power in the lower rpm range, for a 4cyl it has a lot of torque. It's 700lbs lighter then the Z, I'm sure that has a lot to do with how it handles the tight right handers and S-bends ;-)

iv driven the mini turbo.. and i must say i was somewhat impressed.. it was more than i was expecting..

Crash 01-27-2009 03:42 AM

^^^ Turbo? I was pretty sure it was a supercharger.

Supercharged up through '06, then turbo for '07 onwards.

BTW he's not lying about the MINI in the tight stuff, so no boos from me.

Chupacabra 01-27-2009 10:13 AM

I had a mini before the Z, and yeah i debated it for a while. i wanted another mini, a JCW. Incredible machine, but i hate how the 07 onwards looks. I had an 06, and IMo that was the ebst looking of the new mini's.


name: well its a funky creature, mythical, and has fangs, like the car.

MidnightRoll 01-29-2009 02:25 PM

Psychosomatic 03-25-2009 05:35 PM

Mines my tag I use for all games so I just kind of let it carry over to forums. Its kind of self explanatory when you think of it from a video game perspective, any other way and I just seems rather random :icon17: .

G RAM 03-27-2009 02:34 PM

My nephew cant say or spell my name right, my name is Graham, he calls me Gram and when he sends me cards he always spells it GRam so my other nephew decided he would call me G Ram to keep everything "simple" apparently :confused:

NewlyIMPORTed 05-29-2009 01:07 AM

NewlyIMPORTed because i have always had american cars and i just got a 370 so it sounded logical

k20z3 05-29-2009 01:11 AM

I used the K20Z3 which is the Honda Civic Si's engine... so found it quite fitting.

GreenJalapeno 05-29-2009 03:49 AM

Anatoray 05-29-2009 01:13 PM

when it comes to online aliases, I try to keep things uniform for the sake of my own sanity. This was the name of a country in my favorite anime, Last Exile that I used for an alternate character in Final Fantasy XI a good 5 years ago. I ended up playing that character full time and everyone I knew "online" called me that, so whatever, use it for all my forum names now lol.

The Weapon 05-29-2009 01:21 PM

The Weapon = Xbox Live gamer tag since Xbox Live first launched.

Musashi 05-29-2009 01:53 PM

Have you ever noticed how the "Z" logo on the steering wheel looks like 2 katanas? Musashi is one of the most famous samurais in Japanese history and won the most duels, also author of "The book of five rings."

phelan 05-29-2009 01:59 PM

Comes from an old science fiction book series, where phelan was my favorite character. It just sort of stuck with me, so here I am today. I've used shadowhawk before, as well. (XBL tag is ShadowHawk 22). Odd, considering it's an old celtic name and I'm asian...but oh well!

WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL!? (Wonder how many of you get this? :P)

SiXK 05-29-2009 02:46 PM

no specific reason.

certainly nothing to do with my lifelong obsession with LSU football or my love of turbocharged cars.

Spec Jay 08-17-2009 02:54 PM

ZCarMan 08-17-2009 07:48 PM

Buddy of mine's whole life revolved around rebuilding a 240Z and we all nicknamed him Dan Dan the Z Car Man. Now that I've got my own, I kind a borrowed his moniker.

chris410 08-17-2009 07:51 PM

First name = Chris and my race number is 410 (I race motorcycles with CCS) hence Chris410

mrarroyo 08-17-2009 08:10 PM

My name is Miguel R. Arroyo thus => mrarroyo. Simple to remember, important at my age. ;)

Mike 08-17-2009 09:13 PM

Its my name and it was available.

On the other Z forums I am 2003z, which was catchy when I first registered it in 2001 (and changed my zcar.com name from mike'z72 to 2003z) while awaiting its release, but isn't really appropriate anymore.

AmbitiousCK 04-11-2011 09:52 PM

I have the same name on all the forums i belong to, anyone who actually knows me knows that im very ambitious with anything i do in my life. School, work, my body, sports, money, my cars, friends, girls and GF's, my personality, absolutely everything....i try to be the best at, hence the ambitious part.

"CK" is a nickname that a girl gave me in HS and it just stuck, CK=Calvin Klein. She thought i looked like a Calvin Klein model and started calling me CK, word got around and its stuck ever since.

So shoot me for searching lol when if i would have made that thread i would have been shot for reposting.

But i had to "LOL" when i saw it was three years old lol
