Most forums I have joined over the years are PC related so member names did not tell you much about a member like they do here. I found it difficult to find a forum name I could use at all forums that was not already in use. Many of the forums had thousands of members making it really hard. At one point I gave up and tried an old nickname I was given years prior. It worked and I have used it ever since. How I got my nick name. I was working in a small shop and was the low man on the pole. I was given a water pump job on a ford pinto (easy job). The head tech was given a water pump on a dodge van (pain in the ars). The head tech cried to the owner and I was given the van instead. I was pissed off and worked as hard as I could and finished the van before the head tech finished the pinto. The number 2 tech came up to me and said “you are a freakin wonder wrench”. From that day forward the name stuck even though I thought of myself as a common mortal. Once I left this shop I never though of this name again until I needed a forum name I could use everywhere. If you see my nick some place else its most likely me.
Bill aka wonderwrench
