I'm just one petro fan, not to be confused with "#1 Petro Fan". I tried Petro fan, but it was already taken. Brady

I was trying to think of a personalized license plate for my car several years ago. I am a fan of dirt track racing and I was a police officer so we came up with RACECOP.

It was either "Pegasus" or "Gargoyle".....as I sit here at the computer there's probably 300+ of them staring down on me from the walls and shelves......so I flipped a coin and the red horse won.

Bought the 67 in 68 drove it to work the first day at the refinery in 73 and until the last day in 2003. The kids at the refinery would ask when I was going to sell that old pickup to them. My story was, it and I are going go retire at the same time. Which we did and I bought a new truck and started the restoration, modification on the 67. I'll post pictures if I ever get it done before I die. Mitch

Have you seen my part of the country? Pretty self explanatory. Stockshowing is big in Texas, and our family has done it for years. The avatar is my youngest selling a top placing steer at Houston. It was just a handy pic to practice on, and once I got it to the correct size, I have just never changed!

Went Wadhams collecting crazy about 20 years ago. When I was trying to come up with an Ebay user I.D. a friend suggested Mr.Wadhams. Kinda became my identity. A drawback is some people think that is my real name and then I have to explain what it means. It can be a long explanation as a lot of people never heard of Wadhams.

My real name is Tim Rowland but people use to literally make fun of me for dragging home old rusty gas pumps. They thought it was funny to laugh and make jokes about how stupid it was and why I would want all these ugly old pumps, so they called me "Goober." The nickname stuck about 25 years ago. As time went by and they started watching TV, they don't laugh so hard anymore?...

Mine is another of the un-original ones, my first and middle initials and full last name, which is also my Ebay ID as well. Just figured it would be easier using it everywhere.
