In The Play-Pen: Midnight_EG

    One day last year, when half the forum was getting ready for the World Cup Final and the other half was preparing to avoid it, one Dutchman slipped in under the radar and casually started chatting.

    He made his own introduction with one photo of himself and two pictures of his teenage Honda Civic! :pac: Then he went back to spamming the Den, making himself the 15th highest poster in the off-topic chat thread.

    You'd think that with 901 posts in the forum in 10 months we'd have heard enough from him, but not so! :p There's much more to the guy than his car and his fondness for chat. Over the next week we're going to meet the man behind the "H".

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you Midnight_EG!

    This is the first Playpen thread we've had in a while. Let's make it a good one. :)

    Most inspirational person you personally know? I don't really let any one person inspire me, because I want to be my own person, not modeled on somebody else!

    Favourite place you've ever visited? Either skiing in Italy, or Australia...although I love Amsterdam and Haarlem thanks to heritage!

    Black or yellow? Awful, awful hard choice for me to make...I love both, assuming they're Flamenco Black Pearl and Y-56 Phoenix Yellow :P
    Are you actually Dutch? I am indeed, born in Amsterdam, lived in Haarlem until I was nearly 7 then I was asked by my parents did I want to move here and I said yes!

    What's the difference between a nut and a bolt? A nut goes onto a bolt to tighten something held on by the bolt!

    Orange juice or apple juice? Apple Juice ftw :pac:

    If you speak 2 languages fluently (if you can speak Dutch...), which one do you dream in? I speak fluent English and shite-talk, I dream in both

    Why did you spell "KnifeWRENCH" incorrectly when asked who your favourite C&H mod of all time was?

    Do you get down on Friday? And if so, which seat do you take?

    Does one simply walk into Mordor?

    I know nothing about cars and still haven't learned to drive - how uncool does that make me?

    Why did you spell "KnifeWRENCH" incorrectly when asked who your favourite C&H mod of all time was? I have this learning difficulty that makes me spell the best answer regardless of thoughts or opinion on the matter at hand :( :P

    Do you get down on Friday? And if so, which seat do you take? On Fridays, I get down low, I drop it to the flo'...and sit in the drivers seat like a boss :cool:

    Does one simply walk into Mordor? One does not simply walk into Mordor, one simply strolls and acts cool :pac:

    I know nothing about cars and still haven't learned to drive - how uncool does that make me? On a scale of coolness, rated 1 to 10, you're a definite 10...stay classy KnifeDIEGO

    Where do you see yourself in ten years?

    Do you like to plan things or are you more impulsive?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,727 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    I ask everyone the same questions! :p


    Where do you see yourself in ten years? Hopefully around cars for a living!

    Do you like to plan things or are you more impulsive? If I have a big amount, I budget and plan purchases...if I have a small amount I splash it on the first shiny thing that makes me go faster :(

    When you say you fear sponges.....does that refer to

    *synthetic sponges you clean stuff with?
    *sponge cake?
    *people who sponge money off you?
    *or all of the above?

    How do Go Faster Stripes work? Are they as good as Speed Holes?

    Do you have a favourite driving CD? What's on the tracklist, and what's your preferred volume and cruising speed for listening to it?

    If that iconic scene from Psycho involved a sponge bath instead of a shower, would you have been more terrified by the stabbity-stab or the dabbity-dab?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,727 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    How do Go Faster Stripes work? Are they as good as Speed Holes? They stick on in such a way that the aerodynamics of the car is rapidly altered, creating a vortex behind the car due to the sudden addition of drag from the stickers making the body wider! Speed holes are better because cold air cools the car down more, so it gets in more gaps! :D

    May or may not be bollox tbf


    Do you have a favourite driving CD? What's on the tracklist, and what's your preferred volume and cruising speed for listening to it? The only soundtrack I need is the rasp of a Honda and the crack of VTEC :D

    If that iconic scene from Psycho involved a sponge bath instead of a shower, would you have been more terrified by the stabbity-stab or the dabbity-dab? Never seen it :o

    You really need to watch Psycho; it's brilliant!! I'll see :P

    If money was no object, how many cars do you think you would own? :p And what sort? I'd own one of each Type R Honda...EK9, DC2, EP3, DC5, FD2, FN2, NSX-R...and then I'd own a few variations of the Skyline family, 74' 2000 GT-R, R32 GT-R, Nismo R33 400RR, R34 Nur Spec GT-R and the GTR Black Edition :P So at least 12 :D

    Do you have any pets? I do, a doggy called Blix!

    Do you prefer being too cold or too warm? Too cold, gives me a reason to get into bed then :pac:
