OT: What does your screen name mean? =)

firstname + first letter of last name + born in 1964. Lots of logins now require alpha + 2 numbers. So this makes it easy to remember everywhere

Have a T5 rather than XC but I hang out here because so much common info. Wife reeeeeady want an XC though. I keep on hoping we will get a hybrid sometime soon. But looks like no such luck.

I'm a windsurfer and love to go out in the surf as opposed to the bay or lakesailing. The XC is a great vehicle for the sport.......

As seen on a t-shirt, several years ago, which I immediately bought:

Plays With Cars
(especially really fast Italian ones)

Thus the name fits me to a T(-shirt)!

Oh, and I've owned over 30 cars in the past 18 years. Some projects, some drivers, but all fun to drive!

Long story...

Bought a Subaru Impreza Turbo Wagon and was asked to take part in a "shootout" between Subarus and Ford Sierra Cosworths (Cossies) back in 2000 - REVS magazine. They did the usual sort of thing, rolling road, 1/4s 0-60, handling etc over a couple of days. The second day it rained big time but the show went on. Good fun too on a private airfield (Alconbury, Cambs 2-mile straight).

When the magazine came out, they had a picture of my car under hard acceleration squatting down at the back in the pouring rain. The caption was "Puff The Magic Wagon lives in the sea - tra la la!".

Seeing as how there was a bit of Scooby vs Cossie banter going on, I adopted the name for my BBS persona just to wind the Ford boys up on their National Day @ Silverstone race track. Had a load of cossie scalps that day

The rest is history/myth/legend...

Hmm... I'm a Fed but I'm not into Taxation - so that won't work.

Maybe it's my opinionated ideas and strong beliefs that automobile manufacturers have a right to sell us reliable and safe transportation? I like to 'stick it to them.'
