How ya got on the HAMB!

Just curious to see how all of us found out about the Jalopy Journal-HAMB? I will start since it is my thread: I was told about it from "lowsprings" and ever since then, my life has changed. This is the most visited website that I have ever come across. With the drama and B.S. involved, it had been very informative for me on problems that I have encountered, that being with cars! Next..................... KNUX! Jesse James......the "LURKER" on the HAMB!

 

my wife told me about it.REALLY

 

i used to check out jalopy journal every now and then and saw a link with a strange looking name, got curious and lurked for a year or two, the rest is history!

 

Lowlife and I were talking one day and he said something about the HAMB and I said the what?? He said the HAMB, you know the Hokey Assed Message Board. I didn't know then.....................but, I know now.

 

Google search on sandcasting aluminum-found the thread about casting the lucky star http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11578&highlight=casting+star

 

I read a little 'blurp' about it in Rod & Custom. All it really said was that if you dig traditional rods and customs, check about the Jalopy Journal and the H.A.M.B. - so I did. I lurked for about a year till I took the plunge.

Now that I'm a HAMBer, my arthritis has cleared up and the that pesky cough has gone away!!! It's a miracle - I'm cured!!! Praise the HAMB!!

 

I was bored playing on the comp , Add that with beer...Well you get it. Actuall I found it through one of Cole Fosters links.

 

Ya see. It is all sorts of avenues on how all of us got on here. If it wasn't for this site, shit, we would all be working on our cars with our spare time, wouldn't we!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it roll'in 'cause I know that this is one big ass family here!!!!! KNUX!

 

Hell if I remember. I think I first hit it while I was searching for parts....

Then believe it or not, seeing the gang run at Indy Goodguys made me remember it "Haaaaay.... I know that site... those guys kicked ass"


So now I'm back to stay. And you can all blame the HAMB racers at Indy

 

Ya see. The HAMB works miracles.

 

Just lucky!

 

I was searching for

H airy

A assed

M idget

B abes

but found the HAMB instead oh well now i ve been hooked for about 5 years mostly just reading

 

I also read a little blurb in R&C, It may have been when Ryans car was in readers rides or young guns or something I think. Checked it out a bit, but forgot about it. Then doing google searches for stuff, the HAMB kept coming up. Decided I'd better join up and do some learning.

Now I'm a HAMB junkie and if I dont get my minimum of a few hrs a day on here, I start jones-diddily-onesin.

 

Low. Now that is funny. I heard that before from someone else.

 

Many many moons ago.....I was introduced to it by a friend in Reno named Lee ( was on here as "junebug") He was helping Ryan get this "traditional hot rodding" board started..... I lurked for a few years then finally enough friends were on that gave me enough shit to just join, so here I is.....

 

Refered here from some Rodders on Moparts.com. Still not sure if it was a good decision yet....cutting into my drinkin' time!!

i was googling the show on the TLC channel with the shifters build bad news. and post from the HAMB showed up. been here ever since.

_T

 

I have a question? Why is it that our wives or gf cannot see that about having to be on a couple of hours a day? I know mine doesn't!!!!!!!!!

 

It is a skill not to spill when you are on the 'puter!

 

I was doing a search for the www.thehun.net .... and I ended up here.

Took me two years to figure out bondo was a good sustitute for ky-gel.

 

I think I did a search for "traditional hot rod" at some point. I know I found the Jalopy Journal first, and followed the HAMB link from there.

 

I am a member of the American Motors forum and someone suggested I check out the HAMB when I was building the hudson. I lurked for a while and decided to join up.

 

I used to lurk around the OSR board and used to see them bitching about the HAMB. So I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, I ditched that board and migrated here. Best thing I ever did. I have made some good friends here and will stay as long as everyone will have me.

 

googled "naked chicks on hot rods" a while back and here i am

 

We are all one big family and the "LOVE" goes out to ya!

 

Thanks Man. Comming from you that means a lot!!

 

I was in college around 1997 or 98 studying graphic design and web design. I decided to do a hot rod and customs website for a class project. I started researching websites and found the Jalopy Journal.

I actually shared the old homepage with the teacher of the class, (smoking girl) when we were learning about animated gifs.

I read TTJ from time to time, until I thought the site was no longer around for some reason. A few years ago I stumbled across TTJ again, and found the HAMB.

 

You going to be at the Primer Nats so I can give ya a hug?

 

the natural gravitation towards consumers of beer, conisuers of exotic and erotic women, hoodlums, and people who roll thier own. the HAMB is a natural stomping ground.

Also it was the article on the HAMB chop in the "original" CKD...

 

I'll have to take a raincheck on the hug. I have way too much work to get done to go.
