When I started out learning to paint and pinstripe I didnt sign my name. Then I started to do work for random people and they would always ask me why I didn't sign my artwork. So i asked my buddies for suggestions since they have a ton of nick names for me, they all suggested to sign Danny boy.. there is already a well established painter named Danny boy so I changed it up a bit.. my last name starts with an E so it works in that sense too..

Other nicknames that didn't make the cut were bigD, Danomite, Danimal, Dano,Danaconda.....:laugh:

Some great stories in this thread.

The OldMiniBikes is the first forum that I've ever particapated in, so I was not sure about how folks came up with these names.

Wanted to get on with the registration process, got lucky and my first name + last initial were available...seemed fitting, so went for it :laugh: .

I tried other names on another site but they were all taken. So out of frustration I slammed my hand down on the keyboard and pushed enter. 45t was born.

I thank it to my short fuse. I've been using the screen name for along time (10+ years).
That is funny as hell... :laugh:

Mines pretty simple one of my first VWs was a 1979 bus with a Porsche motor and I was born in 1979 and when I setup my email many moons ago I used vwfan79 and have used it as a screen ever since and it just so happens my newest vw is a 1979 Dasher

Not True - I always thought yours was the coolest - Rev My Motor:thumbsup:

And I thought buckeye was a sweet - the peanut butter thing saw it on tv once.


You can be glad I went with my avatar rather than the porn thing - don't think I'd have to many friends with a name like "Schlomo Hump"

I always liked war movies , specially ones with tanks - PATTON is one on my hero's. Tryed to get armour corp in the army, but they said I was to tall.
The Name is a play on the Toys are us - hence TANKS ARE US
If I read your screen name fast I always think it says Tankasaurus (dinosaur) but I know better now. :laugh:

My buddy and I used to buy and sell stuff. Our only rule was whatever we bought had to make 100% profit. So if I bought something for $5 it had to be easily worth $10 or if one of us paid $100 it had to bad worth $200... When we saw something we weren't sure about the value but wanted to take a shot. We decided to what we called "Gump It"... Like Forrest Gump.... Got lucky on his endeavors.... I started using it as an email.then Ebay ID then screen names on forums....
