It's that time again...

Footloose seemed appropriate as I had a broken ankle at the time (!)

OK, I an number 44 looking at this post and no answer yet.

Shame on the rest of you :-)

My original monicker was old plodder.
EO have changed to John C on membership. Fustrations, will have to work out how to get it back.
Old plodder, because I used to be called plodder.
All my friends had the V8 toranas, hot commodores and fords.
Straight drag speed they used to always beat me in my slightly modified cooper S.
But on a longer run (50k plus), or a dash across town, I was usually still there with them, just, so I got called plodder. In the tail end but just kept going. I always seem to have the slower car horse power wise.
Got rid of the mini and bought a stock 73 beetle (fiance was worried about my driving at the time). But still managed to keep up. Got 105mph down the liverpool ranges on our honeymoon, and 3rd used to really pull (for a beetle) up to 80mph.
Got a 85 NB pajero (2.6l and 76kw) when friends had patrols and cruisers, and fords and commodores.

But that NB pajero could still do central Sydney to Brisbane in 10.5 hours, and Canberra to Brisbane in under 12 hours.

Now the grey hair has come, I am an old plodder.

My campertrailer is a Redback Explorer and i had an Explorer at the time, Explorer was taken so Redback it was.

Baz.

I'm a red head, I have had no choice in what I'm called for the last 31 years... No end in sight.

G'day Wolfie,

I grew up in Western Australia and thankfully, my Father got bush into me early. We had (and still have) a place at Dwelling up on 60 acres. Some great memories...and I scattered my Mother's ashes there. I covered a fair bit of WA with my emoployment. I start scratching walls and getting annoyed in the city. The bush is good medicine to me, I instantly feel better when I am there or planning to get there. Hence, "bushfix."

Ok, mine is made up from the first letters of the family name Brian, Elisabeth, Andrew and Theo the IT was a compromise as I could not have M which is the first letter of our surname. Easy!

Kind regards

I'm Jack because that's my name.

Jack

Hi All
My first user name was " Jeffrey " seemed apropriate after all lts is my christian name..and i'm 45+..but my nicname has allways been JD and yes I have the handle bar moustache and look similer to mister Daniels.....so thats me done.
JD

Well, surprise, surprise, Like Jack, mine's Mike 'cause that's my name, But my sign off "Happy trails" belongs to the old cowboy Roy Rogers. I use it because it seems to fit what we do.

Happy trails, Mike.

Wolfie,

I was christened Wayne 53 years ago, so that is easy to follow but i sign off as "Always Out' N About".
This is from the days when I had a 4wd shop and required a business name. Out' N About 4WD was the company name and even though the company has folded I kept the Out' N About because that is what I do a lot of these days.

Wayne

Mine comes from my parents name and one they gave me at birth. Oh but that was Norma Jean, so mine came from somewhere in Tinsel town

Ian,

I would rather not answer this post on the grounds that I might incriminate myself suffice to say that in my younger days I was regularly referred to as having the habits of a Wombat.

No I don't think I'm disalextit,deslactive,deslexis or whatever. It's just that I keep hitting the wrong key and I said to myself, B..... Deslexia is striking again.
I used to be Alpaca but that was a bit of a lie cos I'm neither cute or hairy.

I started visiting this site late last year and although do not respond often when an issue came up I had to create a name and decided to use Rotty as our pet 12yr old rotty had to recently put down due to age and severe arthritis that would not allow her to walk or stand. We had her from a pup and was part of the family.

regularly accessing this site certainly confirms my thoughts on all of the printed 4 wheel (read - Toyota) magazines in that they are a waste of money unless you wish to believe in what the advertising dollar says is true.

The Undertaker saved up all the gold teeth and bought a pub to become The Publican who was made an offer to good to refuse $$$$$$ ,who bought an all Alloy camper trailer. Ahhhhh so many beaches/so many fish /so No rust.

I'm me cause my longest serving mates of 25yrs call me tonester or tonemeister. The second one is too hard to spell. Real name = Anthony, and I tend to confuse people by swapping back & forth all the time. Told my very first employer at very first meeting - He says "Is it Anthony or Tony?". Reply - "Either one. Usually only my friends call me Tony". Job didn't last long. Hey, I was young & dumb.

My name has been developed over the years by my mates. No great story; it went from Ross to Rossco to Scoey....

Twenty odd years ago, I broke an instructors wrist while restraining him and placing him in handcuffs, passed the course and got the nick "cuffs", as there were 5 other Paul's on the course.

goodday wolfie
i think mine speaks for itself , on some former job sites i havea lso been known as GOC, but i will settle for GOB at 55 yo i have worked hard to derserve this name

steve

After our dog, whose name is Snapper but she gets called hog or hoggy by the kids more often. Goes out in the yard every morning to mark her turf in case any interlopers have trespassed on her block during the night. She sounds more like a warthog than a dog while doing this. Also uses her snout to bury her bones, coming back inside with crap all over her face when the job is done.

Hi Wolfie

well, originally it was just "Al", but, it was me and still mostly is, asking questions and responding to posts, and I used to sign, Lyn [aka Mrs.Al] and then I thought bugger it, I'll just change "our" handle.....and so it has stuck, though I've managed to pick up a couple of other nick names as well :))

cheers

Lyn [aka Mrs. Al]

Good move Wolfie,
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy and ready for a group hug. Becoming a member tomorrow (when pay enters bank account). My name's Brian Ware so B.Ware was a great joke through my school years along with 'where's Ware?' etc. Red wine therapy is helping me cope with the psychological damage 25 years on and now I get my revenge when I name all our kids; Tupper, China, Silver, Glass, Under........

Brian

It speaks for itself, but it was my wife that gave me the name as she knows that Ican't stay home for more than a few hours before I go looking for a drinking ,camping or shooting companion.Remember we are here for a good time not a long time.

Pterosaur, as I'm pretty ancient, and like being high ! Bit of a sound pun on my name too, but mostly I just needed an online name I could remember.

cheers
Terry

Because I like my Paj

Cheers

Pete

My then 3yr old's pronunciation of Mitsubishi :-)

Mine's pretty boring by comparison, my real name is Perry so self explanitory really. Also this was my first forum that I got involved in so didn't really know how it all worked.
