Elf: Happened years ago & exists today due to many reasons...

I chose elf as I was fascinated by the 6 wheeled Elf Tyrell F1 racers back in 1977 (see below). That got me hooked onto engine tech as a kid, something which stays with me till today...

Between 1986 & 1992, my buddies & me used to have stickers on our cars that read "elf". It was only allowed on cars belonging to our 'gang', & I was the one to designate the recipient cars... Post that, the gang split up, & I was the only one who continued to have it on my car (till this day). Been known as elf ever since, with Mom's car (the 800) known as Mother Elf for the longest time as well... especially around where I live...

"Alf" in Arabic also means 1000 - which was my first car...

Also, close friends call me "el f**keroo", for the reputation I have of screwing around with everything & everyone... Elf is just a shortened version of that...
