Default What do your Avatars and sig mean??

I hope this isn't a repost... because I didn't find anything like this, I did a searchwith "sig avatar", found 825 matches and couldn't go to the other results beyond the first page

I know many sigs and avatars, but some are unknown, others as funny as hell, some very strange, etc.

From where did your sig and/or avatar came? anything special with them? your childhood hero? just like the image? bussiness?

as an example...TT, why a rayban avatar? do you sell those sunglasses?


Anile8er, isn't that badtz maru??




cho_888, do you play the guitar? is it yours?



hey dr. gonzo, do you like benicio del toro, his fear and loathing in las vegas? or the image is cool?


666fast, why did you changed your avatar?


BADMIHAI, aka I talk crap, how about your sig and avatar?


mine...the thoughtful tiger is Hobbes, from the comic strip calvin and hobbes

and the sig is from another chilean comic strip, called Mafalda


(translation: hey you big fella,the one reading comics)

HAHAH mine is indeed strange I admit but I always had a soft spot for Ray-Ban sunglasses (I have some of course) and when I first came online years ago and had to choose my first avatar on a messageboard it was that one.. and since then, I NEVER and I mean NEVER used another avatar

about the enzo, it's no big surprise, but the mig....OMG, what a fighter plane, loved it, had some scale ones (but destroyed to pieces of paint and plastic by a cousin)

TT... strange about your avatar, since the first day I always wondered why that image


another avatar that is great is danv6's :

is it from the movie called high fidelity with john cusak and jackblack?

I have only used my own pics for my Avatar and Sig!

Maybe because i think it is very cool, to use something which is "homemade".

And well the cars look great!

I think mine speaks for itself. I am a big fan of Brit cars - so i have a avatar of the bonnet badge from a Jag XKR (appropriate cos we will soon (hopefully) be getting either an XKR or an XK8) and i have inverted the colours cos it looks far cooler - and i preferr the light white colour.

My sig doesnt need much explaing either - there is a picture of me doing a mad smile - hopefully to scare off any new JW leechers. And a collection of beautiful Astons.


BTW nice thread - will be interesting to hear peoples reasoning - i've always wondered why TT chose the ray-ban logo!

My avatar changes every so often and usually has to do with something motorcycle related (I make them myself, turning a clip I like into an animated gif). My sig also always changes, but will always have Yoda and Boba in it in some way, shape or form and still will be somewhat motorcycle related (Boba riding a speederbike like it's a sportbike). I also make the sigs myself using 3DSMAX and PS.

Well, my avatar and sig are my own little tribute to John Bonham..since i believe he was one of, if not, the best drummer in the world...and he died too soon

the quote in the sig is Robert Plant, Led Zep vocalist, announcing Bonzo's famous solo Moby dick in earls court 1971... this is pictured in the led zep double dvd...defuinitely worth a buy!!
