    Most people think that "Donzie" is just a nick name for Don but it actually comes from the Ireelywannabee Indian tribe which I'm 1/8 through my great grandmother. Not too much is known about this now extinct tribe. What is known is that they all rode black horses with white "socks". They would never brush the coats of the horses to keep the sheen down. This helped hide better from their enemies plus it was less work. Also, they never washed their hair which would get greasy so they would just cut it short and brush it back.
    They would "brand" themselves, usually on their arms, with hot iron in unique designs to set them apart from other tribes. They were very prominent for many years but set in they ways, not wanting to conform to more modern ways they were slowly forced into extinction.
    Oh, "Donzie" means "Hep Brave"

    I work as an Agronomist at a CO-OP. That means I deal in chemicals and fertilizer for corn and beans. Some of my friends called me farmer for a while, then went on to Plowboy 'cause I am such a hick. Most people in the real world call me "Grody" which is the pronunciation of my last name Grote. Damn that valley girl song. Moon Unit Zappa sucks.

    When I traveled to So-Cal to start off on the Ego Rama with my brother, I met Shortbus. We had a great time in L.A. and the saying "You're killin me smalls" kept coming up when something out of the ordinary was said or done. For example, "hey sam, pass me a beer!" Sam Replies, "You're killin me smalls" I thought it a fitting handle for the HAMB. Most people call me Strube, my last name

    In my teens long before the FoMoCoMOFOs and before I had a T-modified (or any money) I used to buy beat up Schwinn beach cruisers and clean `em up, paint & customize them and then sell them. My sister's boyfriend at the time was talking to his buddy who was going to buy one of my bikes and said "this motherfucker modifies everything he has" ...and the rest is lame ass history.

    I started as 48HEMI (member # 93) its the plate I have on my HEMI powered 48 ford three window coupe. when my computer crashed and I came back with a different company HAMB wouldn't let me in since most people knew me as a glass man I used my company name
    "The Old Car Glass Guy" I've been doing auto glass since 1965 and the insurance are controlling what I am allowed to charge for my work I told them all to go fuck themselves and the horse they rode in on,
    I moved into a niche market and work only for cash and do no insurance work
    I limit my customer base to Pre 1970 cars and special interest vehicles and only work on car and trucks that I like. next year I'm getting an unlisted number this is like have a real job and it sucks.
    I would go back to my old 48HEMI if I could [​IMG]

    When I first moved to Bowral, (town outside of Sydney), about 10 years ago there was a few guys as well as myself that started a new job and nobody knew anyones name, I drove a 63 impala at the time so one guy called me Chevy and it stuck. From that day on thats what I was called. I am now working in the USA and I was introduced as Chevy and it stuck here as well.
    My Mum and my wife are about the only ones that call me by my real name.(Andrew)
    My non car mates at home would call me anything that had 'chevy' in it. like chevron,chevynova,..datsun [​IMG]....Chevros was one of them, so I used it here.

    RPW = Revolutions Per Webb. My name is Per Webb and I used my real name the beginning of HAMB (about 8 years ago I think). Then some wondered what "per webb" was. They had heard "per hour", "per ounce" and so on but never "per webb"...
    I think it was Dr Spellcheck that came up with the name RPW (later Dr Spellcheck changed his name to Dr J).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Right, it was Me "helped" with the RPW nick but I am not and never was Dr Spellcheck.
    I said (in an Email to Per, I think) I'd never heard of the name "Per" but I'd heard of RPM, Revolutions Per Mile and Per said he'd flip the "M" upside down into a "W" and have it, RPW stand for Revolutions Per Webb.

    Besides it was Officer Spellcheck, I think.
    I also got the impression he actually is/was a police officer in Texas?

    THE-SYNDICATE was slated for the name of my next dragster. My First J/F Car was named the Annihilator and I always figured the next one would be "THE-SYNDICATE" Just sounds bitchen....
     
  23. Lots of interesting stories here.
    Mine's pretty simple.

    C9 is an old high school nickname derived from my last name of Carnine.
    Carnine being a pretty appropriate name for a gearhead I think.

    A few years back I was helping nephew build a 500cc Honda 2-stroke for the Widowmaker hill climb.
    Aluminum extended - radically so - swing arm etc.
    Somewhere along the line we figured we ought to have a business name even if it was a non-existent business and settled on C9 Machine.
    Figuring we might sell a few of the extended swing arms.

    Since there was a Mickey Mouse sorta decal making machine at work I knocked out a decal - actually a sticky - that said C9 Machine and stuck it on the extended back fender of the Honda.
    Worked great, we got noticed for the swing arm, but that was the only one we made.
    Probably cuz, shortly after I moved out of SoCal to Central California.

    Used C9 on the now defunct original Rodders Round Table and not long after found the HAMB.

    urkillinmesmalls , do you ever go to any cruises or car shows around here? I had no idea you were Sam's brother.

    Django: When I got divorced I started swing dancing to meet girls. So I was listening to alot of jazz. Django Reinhardt is considered THE jazz guitarist. Since I've played guitar half my life, it kinda stuck.

    On the old RRT I was Steve at RD (Rodder's Digest). When the magazine went tits up, I didn't want to be "Steve at Out of Business Magazine.'

    So, when I was a little kid, I couldn't pronounce my last name. Conversation went like this:

    Adult: What's your name?
    Me: Steve.
    Adult: What's your whole name?
    Me: Steve Hinkason.
    Adult: You can do better . . . Hen . . .
    Me: Hen . . .
    Adult: drick . . .
    Me: drick . . .
    Adult: son.
    Me: son.
    Adult: Hendrickson.
    Me: Hinkason.

    Figured out quick that adults thought this was pretty frickin' funny, so it then went like this:

    Adult: What's your name?
    Me: Steve.
    Adult: What's your whole name?
    Me: Just Steve.

    It's all about regression . . .

    Steve. Hinkason.

    My name is Dan (Daniel), and way back when the TV show Hawaii-50 was on, people started calling me DanO like the character in the show. Other people called me Dan'l as in Daniel Boone from that TV show with Fess Parker. I've never been to Hawaii, nor have I ever killed a bear. In one of the bands I drummed in, we would play the Venture's theme song for Hawaii-50, and I would do a drum solo introduced with the famous phrase "Book 'em DanO"! [​IMG]
