Folks Of Interest Nickthebandit made my day

It is guys like Nick that make the H.A.M.B. Such a great place! I got a box in the mail with 4 gas pedals and misc’ parts that Nick sent out of the goodness of his heart, I guess he took pity on my addiction. At 83 years of age Nick figured he wasn’t going to be needing them so donated them to my collection. A really nice gesture as I know Nick sells a lot of parts on here. Lets hear it for Nick.

 

Nick is the “Man” !!

 

He does fuel the the board with his HI Test deliveries of news and views
Good one Nick

 

Well played, @nickthebandit !

 

WOW The spirit of HAMB, gotta love this place!!!
Powerful stuff

With a name like @nickthebandit you'd think he'd be stealing stuff instead of giving it.

Classy move Nick.

 

I like Nick!

 

Second one over is a lefty. Nice work @nickthebandit (wonder if we're kin)

 

nice goody collection..

 

I thank all of you for your comments. This hobby has been good to me for many years. Now I can pay it back. Thanks again. nick.

 

Nick sold me this Willys in 1980 that morphed into my favorite hot rod. Thank you.

 

I've known Nick since the early 70's bought my 34 Willys from him. Good guy.

I am 89 and i never get free stuff

 

Great job Nick.

 

PM me your address and I'll send you a McDonalds gift card.

 

Thanks, Nick, for sharing. Good and well-deserved Karma for that one! And thanks again Kevin for the awesome shop tour video you posted awhile back! I don't remember who said this and I may be paraphrasing a bit "It's the people, the cars are just the glue that makes this hobby".

 

Nick helped me out years ago.
Seems like he hasn't stopped!

 

Back in the 1970's Nick looked a lot like the actor that did the Frito Dorito corn chip commercials, the Frito Bandito. Think that is when Nick the Bandit arrived. Today he looks and acts a lot like Santa.

 

Actually I think that my nick-name came from Richie Willet from Malden, Massachusetts. I was buying and selling parts since I was in my late 20's. Richie always referred to me as "nick the bandit". And it stuck. Now-a-days I am very proud of my nick-name.

 

a generous getelman

 

cool move

 

I always thought it was from that train heist you pulled in New Mexico...

 

NICK, GOOD ONE

 

Cool Beans, Those are some interesting ones.

 

Nick is amazing in a number of different ways: 1) East coast or West coast he knows just about everyone that touches the hobby. Add in people overseas as well. 2) He knows the way to just about everywhere. Even better, he likely has alternate ways as well. 3) Has excellent knowledge re what parts are what. 4) Shares great stories. 5) He loves interacting and connecting with people.

There’s more, but I’m late to the party and much has already been said.

Finally, not surprised he passed that stuff along.

 

Back in 1975 I wanted a 1956 Ford Pickup and told about everyone I knew I was looking. Nick called and said there was in Anaheim, California. Flew out, put insurance on it and used the sellers plate to drive it home to Connecticut in five days. Everyone should drive cross-country before they turn 25.
