ETS = abbreviated from Euro Truck Simulator where I’m a successful owner-driver-operator-magnate and own dozens of blinged out Scanias, Volvos and what have you. Which made me think: hey, if I can do ALL that in a computer game surely it can’t be that hard to replicate in the real world?
Originally I found this forum years ago when I googled the age old question “Why do trucks elephant race?”, then some time later I signed up for the Peter Smythe 10% discount for forum members or whatever it was at the time.
Mine’s very cryptic. As the greatest truck ever made, It had to incorporate Western Star. As I hail from the Great Southern Land, I felt that appropriate also.
So, it’s settled, Western Star Down Under; bzzzzz, bowbooowwwn. The forum deems it too long. As is all Aussies’ wont, shortening long names and lengthening short ones, Western Stars are colloquially refered to, simply as Stars.
I’ll not insult you by explaining further.

I have Tourettes and 1 of my tics is that I stick my tongue out like a reptile trying to catch a fly for its tea, hence I called Lizard.

From the film Convoy… He showed no fear as he grabbed his gear and stuck it in grandaddylow.
I wonder how Switchlogic and Carryfast chose their user names ? Is Carryfast a famous industrialist who pioneered gas powered vehicles and owns Crewe truck stop and his European car haulage firm was called Carryfast, if you speak to him , allow three hours talking about the good old days and reminiscing, your tea will get cold .
And our dear old Limeyphil , he must be out by now !

In fact we should start a new thread with the names we no longer see on the forum.
