Explain your user name/avatar
Some are easy to figure out, others need some splainin'. Thought it might be a fun topic and maybe expose a few funny stories 
The below pic explains mine (A460, 547ci, 14lbs on 9.5 static, 1100HP), in a Daytona tunnel hull boat.

Cool Idea.
My avatar is my Tattoo of New Zealand. I moved to Australia a few years ago, and recently it`s become trendy to get a Tat of the Southern Cross constellation (it's on the flag) because "it`s just, like, really patriotic. y'know?" So I figured "Why not a topo Map?" and there it is.
My User name, Taniwha351, well Taniwha is a Maori word for Monster and my Last car had a heavily worked 351 clevo in it. So, A Monster 351 becomes Taniwha351.

I guess my handle is fairly straightforward...my uncle is a die hard Ford hater and Chevy fanatic, so all my life I have heard him saying "If it don't have a bowtie, it ain't worth scrap."
Thus, Bowtie_Schmowtie!!
My avatar is simply an extension of my philosophy..."Just because it's wearing a bowtie doesn't mean it has class."
Hence, a braying donkey in a tuxedo.

When I was younger and made my first email account patrick@hotmail.com was takin so i just looked at the keyboard and figured an xzx before and after would be different but simple so it stuck and I use it for everything now. I chose that avatar because I play guitar and love music. I saw that one day and although im not a huge deadhead the dead kick *** and ford kicks *** so I figured that would be my avatar on here. Simple lol.

Duste ( somebody had already had dusty) came from a friend who tormented my Father after he got his truck painted by a pro while I did mine in an old garage myself and it came out every bit as good but with ALOT less dust in the paint. So he called Dad Dusty and me Lil' Dusty and so there you have it. The Avatar is just the 78 I'm driving now, my real baby , a 79 2WD with a 460 is in so many pieces it would take pages of pic's to put the entire truck on this site.

Furyus1 was something I came up with after I inherited my late grandfather's '89 Plymouth Gran Fury... I had vanity plates made up with FURYUS1 to put on the car... Nothing special about the avatar - just my truck - time to update it (and the signature pic) as my truck has changed appearance somewhat lol...
Edit: Changed the avatar - Now, I just need to change the sig lol...

my name actually came from joining this site. at the time i had a 77 highboy and from all of the discussions i have seen on here mine had the latest serial number. I dont remember what it is now (i sold the pickup). Im sure it was not even close to being the last one made, just the latest one i had seen reference to on this site. i believe it was built in Feburary of 77.
my avatar is my 79 f-350
