Thinking Up A Name For My Dt02

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Hope I'm ok posting this, but last night I spent ages thinking of names for a custom shell I'm painting up for my DT02. As I'm not using the default decals, I'm going to have a crack at making my own, so thought I ought to make a name up for the buggy. After much thought, I had a seldom occuring lightbulb moment... Why not use my 10 years experience designing websites to make a site that randomly generates names...

So I slept on it... and this morning, I've created this: Tamiya Me - Buggy Name Generator

It's a harmless bit of fun... you stick your name in the box and it searches the Tamiya back catalogue of Double Worded names and makes one up for you... Some are a bit naff, but occasionally it spits out a good one ;)

Apologies if this steps on any toes / breaks and rules... if it does, I'll go away with my tail between my legs B)

Thanks

Justin

Heh I like that. Why does it sound like a gritty Army Sergeant who'd give you a solid kick up the jacksie if you didn't fall in line? ;)

Turns out you discovered the greatest secret Tamiya ever kept - we've all wondered how the devil they come up with their chassis names, and now we know. ;)

LOL, Blitzer Impact for me.

I hope that's not a prophecy about my brushless Blitzer ? ;)

B) Let's hope that doesn't happen Mate!

I like the ones of the WRC stars. Some very cool ones there.

Glad it's coming in useful, even just for skiving off work on a friday afternoon ;)

I'm gonna shove a load of names in over the weekend until I find one I like and then try designing some decals to go with it B)

Awesome fun!

using mine and GF's full name...

gf: Super BLaster

me: Neo Bronco - I can live with that

This reminds me of the process I used when naming my mtn. bikes, except that was a slightly different generator ( http://gangstaname.com/names/porn )

What do you think, should I keep the names in the database just those from actual tamiya's or should I through a few other adjectives and nouns into the mix? Would that spoil it?

Cheers

You should add the existing driver names that appear on the Tamiya decals for some of the fictional cars maybe.

Real name = Super Shot

TA-Mark = Super Tundra
