Easy - my discovery of internet forums (Trinity Tech Talk, the board, actually) in '98 coincided with my first full-time job in Texas... you get the idea, y'all ;) I've always registered on internet forums with that nickname ever since. I think I'm registered on 95% of the main RC car boards with that alias :mrgreen:

My handle is just something I came up with when I played online games in the days before the internet. Back then forums were called bulletin boards. The only way to know about them was to know someone who ran one or was a member of one. Today, we only have to Google whatever our interest is and there will be thousands of forums dedicated to the topic.

It was Trinity's forum that got me hooked as well. That is actually where BloodClod and I met, and we've been fast friends ever since. Now that you mention it, around 98 or 99 is when I found it as well.

This picture was taken of me when I took second place at the Michigan bodybuilding championships. The pic explains the screen name, although I am not proud of the screen name, I am just not very creative :(

When you're named Richard, there isn't much out there. Plus, Dad is a doctor so I guess it fits...more in the past than now. But no one has to know. :lol: :lol:

Awsome! pictures and TV never do the gradients on this famous corner justice.... I have once driven this corner - the only problem was I was travelling the wrong way.... in a T3 VW Transporter :roll:

My username like so many others it seems on here comes from my 1:1 ride - my VW Derby (oh.. and my name is Dan :D )
