I know it's a long shot, and I think he's changed his user name because, well, we can all guess. Anyway, we hung out a couple of times when I was out on the west coast in 2005 & 2007 and since I'm heading to his hood next month (Monterey Peninsula) I wanted to send him a note to see if we could meet up. Anyone know what this guys new user name is or perhaps you personally know him and have his email or cell number. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
His user name was actually 'rat boy' with a space. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/members/rat-boy.12452/ Looks like he had a couple of cars that someone might recognize. Good luck.
I miss Denise,she was the very first person to welcome me to the Hamb and spent a lot of time teaching a computer illiterate newbie like myself how to upload photo's. In my eye's she is the Bell of the Ball. HRP
'ello stranger! good to see your posting again. I always enjoyed reading your stories etc btw, I never got to try the cookies, but from what I hear they rule the free world.
I know Rat Boy, just saw him at Strangers BBQ in San Jose. Not sure how to get ahold of him. Just run into him at shows. I'll snoop around for you.
I called a texas cop a rat bastard once. He didn't much appreciate it I guess that's what cops call cops who snitch on other cops. Anyway back at it one time to the top for my topless cruising friend.
Awesome! Now why didn't I think of that. Thanks so much! I'm going to send him a PM and hopefully he'll reply in time. If you do come up with any contact info I'd apprecaite it if you'd pass it along to me. I promise not to stalk him. LOL Thanks to everyone for your kind words. It's been a busy couple of years. Still have Big Olds and The Cookie Pusher and making it to as many events as vacation time allows.
You are the BESTEST! Thank you soo very much. I will call him tonight once I get home from work. The HAMB is awesome!....in exactly 24 hours I had EXACTLY what I was looking for....personal contact info for a long lost cal pal!
Other life stuff has gotten in the way...new job with not as much "free" time during working hours, trying to balance family and non-car activities with non-car friends, and of course the always mentioned new board layout which I don't find as user friendly. Not knocking what the HAMB is now, I will always be a true, blue supporter, but it has changed and I've steeped aside to let the next wave be front and center just like lots of the other guys did 5-10 years ago. Reflecting back I'm shocked on how much time I spent posting photos to Photobucket then posting detailed adventure threads on here. Those 10 years were quite special, and I made a TON of car friends, friends which I still see often at car events and keep in touch via other means. I couldn't keep that pace up, other portions of my life were suffering and I have found a happy medium.
