    Well thats the story I am starting to use .... its less embarrasing than the true story from 20+ yrs ago.
    Righto Mark, you didn't think you were going to get away without telling us the WHOLE story were you?

          nick name

          I couldn't sign up for ebay after trying for some time and my wife put this in by chance and it was allowed so I use it for simplicity. It does make some sense in that we are now doing a huge amount of miles on dirt tracks each year. So hey!!

            You betcha! "The Grey Ghost Of The Forest" was certainly a contender, However I'm not sure what "Manuka" means so I didn't go with "The Scarlet Manuka". "The Soddin Mangy Mongrel" was even suggested by some smart asses....... along with "Windgrass" and "Crocopig". I however, paid no attention and went with the "Iron Paw". We still have all the books around the place too. I consider them required reading!

                Mine came from necessity. At high school my nickname was Sarge (from Sgt Slaughter of GI Joe fame). When joining various online entities (hotmail, etc) Sarge_345633454@hotmail just doesn't have the same ring to it... :?

                So I thought I would take it up a notch, and found no-one else has it, so I grabbed it, and due to my limited attention span, I keep it the same for all things online now so I don't confuse myself... ops:

                PS: I am also a huge fan of the Footrot gang. Such a shame its all over.

                      Mine comes from the motto that my wife and I live by. This has stemmed alot from both of our jobs, with my wife and teacher and myself on the mines nothing just happens straight away, so hence the name

                              Very interesting thread guys.

                              I got mine from my ham radio call sign.

                              I'm more active in another Hilux forum but make it a point to come in to read the new posts here.

                              Cheers
