    It was, gets annoying when people think you're called Lily is quite funny though

    Peugeots are fun, I want P1 GTi6 :D

    My real username on most forums is AndyJH, be good if I can change my username as I'm rubbish with remembering them. Think I've got like 10 spread across different forums.

    Try emailing the forum team to see if they will.

    How can I change my username?

    In most circumstances, this is not permitted.

    The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk. This usually means you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something that gives away your identity within your username.

    If you fall into this category, email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] and request that it is changed, giving three alternative usernames in order of preference.

    Start a new account. The admins probably won't change your username and IMO should not, because it it is going to trash some of the threads you contributed to - eg "I agree with lil306" is not going to make sense if your posts now appear under your new username.

    Yeah, I no longer have a 306, I just felt it was name a little unusual to my normal one :D

    Drive a VW Passat now, reliable as hell. The 306 are great fun to drive though, especially when you experience the passive oversteer :D

    Might be funny for a short while, getting people to agree with me :)

    Depending on how the forum works, changing the username shouldn't affect threads posted by me, they will just show my name

    It's no biggie really, more of a niggle for me but thanks anyhoo :)
