Random references/easter eggs in the MM games

As many of you have noticed, in many games there are references to developer names or other things. There are few of them in MM2.

Kouros Moghaddam - 3D Artist (vehicles)

Steve Patton - Production Assistant
Image

Sam Buss - Physics Consultant
Image

David Becerra - Tester
Image

Kiki Wolfkill - Art Lead/Kiki McMillan - Content Lead
Image

This might be reference to Ron Suverkrop - 3D Artist (city). Dunno about the other ones.
Image

Marshall Ross - Art Director/Ryan Broley 3D Artist (city)
Image

Jay Panek - Producer (a hidden paintjob)
Image

Does anyone know if Mattin/Emon Shocks are reference to anything? Those companies seem to be fake. They also appear on a modified Hummer in another Angel Studios game called Test Drive: Off-Road - Wide Open (PS2/Xbox)

I haven't posted all of those shop names because some are random names, some are impossible to read and some have unclear meaning.

Also what do you think about those wild-cat paintjobs(Audi TT, Beetle Dune, 59 Caddie), could they mean something special or it was just a random idea? And do you know about other similar things?

Nice finds - never even noticed some of these names or knew that these were references to people who worked on this game :o

I just noticed the Kouros thing and those Test Drive decals and decided to search for other similar things and that's the result ;) I did once a similar thing on one of my maps :P

This is a cool discovery, great work. :) Was already obvious to me that those names were fake ones, but couldn't imagine that they have a relation with the names of the developers.
About the big cats paintjobs, there's only this relation between them, just to have a sort of feline family of cars. :P

The Bonfire plate on the Audi is Bonnie Bright's nickname, she did most of the textures in the game
