The groundhog from Groundhog day. I wondered for a while why people thought I was female, then realised I'd been spelling it wrong! (Punxatoni!!)

Not a name I chose!

When I left home a mate came round to my house and decided it was very tidy (well certainly by his standards, although I can be a bit OCD).

Anyway at the time he was doing short-circuit racing and I used to go to most meetings he was doing. He was also in the motor trade so knew loads of the other drivers and one summer someone noticed the creases in the sleeves of my Ben Sherman so Mr Tidy stuck!
To the point that one weekend meeting a mate of his presented me with a washing mangle in the pits!

But if you give it you have to take it too, and I have just got used to it! (Much less offensive than a lot of them got, so I don't mind). :wink:

Sometimes gets shortened to Mr T, but I am not big or blinged - although I also don't suffer fools.
Coupes because stunning!

Because I'm not very creative with this sort of thing, always loved bmws as a kid, and now despite going out to look at cars with the intention of buying something without the roundel, I've ended up with my 4th bmw in a row. Stumbling upon the world of z4s completely accidentally, and can't imagine life without one now!

Mine’s a bit complex so bear with me.
I’ve been writing a book for over 4 years, and decided that my pen name would be Marlon C Romnic (which is an anagram of my real name).
Anyway, when I joined the forum I thought I’d use Marlon. And for my avatar I found a quirky pic of Marlon (Brando) from the under-rated 1976 Western ‘The Missouri Breaks’.
Was just reading back this thread a bit - the Marlon pic looks like he's in his delivery stride (cricket -bowling) to me chap!
And I have seen Groundhog Day :wink:
My avatar was a pic of the rear wheel and Hofmeister kink after I gave my car its first good detail. Thinking I might change it soon.
