Re: Whats the story behind your nickname (Forum name)?
From Wikipedia:
The word 'bugger' was originally used to describe either anal intercourse by a man with a man or woman,[8] or sexual intercourse by either a man or a woman with an animal [9], but today serves as a mild expletive and can be used to replace the word 'bugger' as a simple expletive or as a simile as in the phrase It hurts like buggery or in apparently meaningless phrases such as Run like buggery, largely equivalent to Run like hell.
Oh
, this is going to get nasty......

Most people can't get their tongues around my surname so everyone calls me by the first three letters.

Re: Whats the story behind your nickname (Forum name)?
Similar to FIG as my surname is also a mouth full, Quantrill so took the Q and made TheQ as in The Man of the House. Stuck since I can remember!

Re: Whats the story behind your nickname (Forum name)?
A friend had a XT500, and in a beer filled conversation said the bike's piston thumps instead of rotating. I drove a bug at the time and my bug thumped 4 times more often than his bike. Thus.... Thumper . (And I told him that too!)
The name stuck, and I gave it to every bug I drove since. When I needed a name for this forum, it was easy......
In the Disney movie Bambi, the blue rabbit was called Thumper, he had nothing to do with it....I think.

Re: Whats the story behind your nickname (Forum na
I was originally Blitzkrieg_Beetle, named after the magazine feature that got me hooked onto ACVWs.
Then, I later asked eben to change it to Blitzkrieg, because I didn't have a Beetle, but a Type 3 instead
My name makes no sense in English (Hi, I'm lightningwar ), but "blitzkrieg" and everything else associated with Blitz sounds so cool. I also have a huge admiration for the German Army and their general tactics and symbols that were used during the Second World War, so blitzkrieg I am

Re: Whats the story behind your nickname (Forum name)?
Mine came from helping my grandfather fix a stove when I was about 7 years old. Me being the helpful idiot that i am tried to use the tester on the live cables when granddad wasn’t watching.... Only killed a couple of the unnecessary brain cells and granddad was in trouble with grandma because how could he do this to her favourite grandson....

Arriving safely in a pretty

Totally worn out,
And loudly proclaiming,
WOW !!!! What a ride!
