Folks Of Interest Where are the Original first 500 HAMBers?

I'm an odd person...or like the saying, "everyone is someone elses weirdo..."

Ditto....but I think that sets a tone of what the HAMB represents to us...and hopefully others will embrace 'the good' that this community offers to Hot Rodding.

Cheers,

Drewfus

Hey Rocky....still think of your 'other' 34....

 

What I've noticed about this thread it the first 500 have a low post count, we are here but not saying much. I think my first 300 posts were in the first year or two and fell off after that. I learn by listening and watching what others do. I dont see the need to say RAD or COOL on every thread I like. I think newer guys may want a taller post count.. Like Tman! HAHA Trent I love ya!!

 

Happy Birthday Drewfus!

 

Awright, another question. Are there HAMB archives going way back?

 

i cant figure out my # i know i'm not in the first 500, probably not in the first 50,000....... but glad to be here ......

 

The earliest available now is this one: http://web.archive.org/web/20010611070407/http://www.jalopyjournal.com/TJJ/editorial.htm

The old insidetheweb.com HAMB is now blocked by something called robots.txt, but it once went back to 1999.

If you are using windows, roll the pointer onto the name then look just above the start button on the lower left, the last number is yours

 

That was the night Ryan fixed his exhaust on the 38 using Jims welder. If you look real close in the back of my Ranger you can see a 33/34 body, or parts of one

 

You know me, the social butterfly that I am

 

I believe that was the same weekend you burnt a turd in a hole at MoKan Dragway. I crack myself up sometimes

 

How did I know that one was coming?

Extra thanks to Mel (miss you girl!) and the Franks. Mel and I wiped out 3 supermarkets buying up burgers and buns while the Franks unloaded their grill.

Fourthirteen also helped me make some Mexican dudes day at the farmers market buying up all of his corn on the cobb.

And to Jim and his wife for hosting a HAMB invasion and BBQ at thier place!

Good times.

 

Thats an understatement. One of the best HAMB Drags weekends ever in my opinion.

 

lmao, pig burner....


great times.

 

That was one of the most awesome weekends of my life. Got to meet a bunch of you cool people I had been talking to on the HAMB, got to see a bunch of great cars, watched some good racing, and to top of an already unbeleivable weekend I won the raffle engine.
I remember Alex (metalshapes) taking Ryan for a ride that evening in his roadster & scaring the crap out of him. Jim & Linda were great hosts, opening up their home to a lot of people they had never met before. I missed the last two or three years of the drags, something I said I would never do, gotta get back this year.

 

Pig burning, baby shower, has it been that long already?

I seem to remember a certain lady fogging out the parking lot at the host hotel with rubber smoke!

# 152

 

The actual enlistment numbers got a bit rearranged when the site was redone in 2001.

So if you see that March 2001 join date you know they've been around longer than that.

 

289 but I would rather have a 283.

 

Yeah, I know! Where do some of them come from?

Bonehead question: How do you find out what 'number' you are???

 

Mike do a mouse over on your name them look to the bottom left of your browser.

You are 723 and I am 1613.

 

hahahahaha, love it

 

You are 723. When you view your profile, it's the number at the end of the URL.

And good tequila in the parking lot. And lil' Mike telling me he doesn't drink tequila because it makes him do bad things. Lol, yeah right.

Mouse over your name and it should show up. You're 723

 

The other thing to do, if you're curious about the first 500, is to change that number at the end of the URL to any other, which should show you each person's profile in that range.

My best burn out EVER in Big Olds bar none.

 

I'm 443 on here about every day but i dont post alot.

 

Thanks, Pork'n'Beaner! ...and thank YOU, Dave. You guys know all the moves...

 

I believe I'm one of the first 500 also. I'm number 9. I forgot how long its actually been. I remember when it was more of a chatroom than a message board like it is now. The pokemon board was funny.

 

I originally started on the hamb around 98 I think when I was readin the journal. I don't post much anymore just sorta lurk around.

 

Jaffas, mercins, cheesegraters, Mud, inappropriate pics being sent to wives, pomade and how high should your cuffs be... and of course HELLFIRE.

Still, learned a ton and met some really cool people.
