Where does your profile name come from?

**timberwolf_302** · 16th November 2006, 08:45 PM

Timberwolf originally came from the computer game "Mechwarrier". It was the name of the best "mech" (combat vehicle) on the game. I started using it for online computer gaming, and email addresses.

I also use it as a radio callsign, when the situation permits.

302 was added as a number to prevent it being same as someone elses. If 302 was being used I would use other numbers like 351, 390, 428 (Ford V8 sizes). 302 was just the one I used the most.

If we are talking Avatars, the Leyland Australia logo is just showing my liking for Leyland products. I might update it soon, though...but for now, it looks good enough, despite the comparison with an ar*ehole.

I won't do the pronouncing thing. You can read.

Hasn't changed much... but one can get stuck in it (I have)

No comment. And which part of CH is she from? Some parts are more rotten and distasteful than others....

Anyway...
When I bought the SII my wife (well, she wasn't then yet) thought it reminded her of a Polish cartoon character "Tuptus the Turtle"... so for the sake of everyone's sanity we just called it the "Turtle"... and 61 is the year. The name fits the SII nicely - it's old, green, tough and just keeps going... not bad for a classic British convertible sports car

My wife is Swiss!

When you got to know of what went on behind the scenes it makes the mind boggle!

one thing as example : -
The big pollies could claim as a tax deduction the bribes they paid to get things through

. This has been closed off now

Twas an intentional typo to filter out the perverts

And I see it has worked

**Tyrepower** · 17th November 2006, 03:33 PM

When I was younger (and better looking) I worked as a Model, now I'm older I do more acting. My name comes from the last big contract I had which was as the Tyrepower Pro for the Tyrepower chain of stores. My mates at the time of joining this site were calling me Mr Tyrepower. Ended up as a simple name to use. At the same time I was also on the Retra Vision adds..but I thought Retra Man didn't have the same ring as Tyrepower.
My latest project is a part in "The Eleventh Soldier" Synopsis below.

The Eleventh Soldier is the largest film production in Western Australia and the most exciting throughout Australia.
The movie set is one of the largest constructed in Australia to date consisting of bunkers, gun towers, mess halls, 2km of roads, communication HQ and its own power supply. On the days of filming there will be jeeps,
trucks, tanks, heavy artillery and machine guns on set.
The film is being shot on super 35mm film with all post production, sound and special effects being done at Double G Studios.
Together with the most talented cast ever assembled in Western Australia for a single film project and the most experienced crew, Cinematographer flown in from Melbourne and the make up artist from "Spiderman 2" etc, the film makers hope to bring the story of "The Eleventh Soldier" to life on an epic scale.
Please visit the films web site for more information plus see cast interviews and teaser trailer.

Cheers Richard.

That's part of a photo of me when I was working in Saudi Arabia.

There's at least three wives.
