    Default How did you come up with your name?

    Mine is Miata spelled backwards

    I've always been a little backwards.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    Way back at the dawn of the internet, my wife and I shared an email account. She finally got tired of wading through all of the mailing list crap I subscribed to to find her messages, so she suggested I set up an alternate email address for myself. So, the alternate email address for Iain became altiain.

    A Kestrel is a small, quick, european bird of prey. The Miata is a small, quick car that preys on other cars.


    Falco Tinnunculs aka Kestrel

    And besides, Kestrel is close/similar to my real last name.

    POS Racing came about after the purchase of my first autocross car a $800.00 salvage titled 1984 RX7 Gsl SE! My buddy helped me get it home and I believe it was the lovely wife who said what's with this POS! Thus the name was born!

    When I bought the POS II my 1992 Miata I just didn't want to go to the expense and trouble of changing all my letterhead!
