What's up with that? I guess I started the right project, "Andy" apparantly should drive a 914.

This is just a shock to me, there are more "Andys" on this board than I've met in real life over the last 30 years.

And not to put anyone on the spot but even our "Resident German" is "Andy". But when I was a foreign exchange student in Germany everyone had trouble with my name, I just got used to going by "Ahndroo"! I've just wanted to ask about that for a while! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd venture to say there are more Mikes. No offense, Andys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Speak up guys!

Do Andrew's count? Besides, it doesn't matter if there are more Mike's. I think the point is that the number of Andy's, Ahndy's, Andrews, Ahndrews is out of proportion to that of the general population.

When I signed up for this board, I had no idea this was going to be a (popularity) problem. So, I chose andys, as my last name starts with "S." So how do you establish which Andy you are? By the car, of course! Time to update my profile.

Cheers,

Andy

Well to cause less confusion I'll answer to Drew, even though only my family calls me that and to all my business associates I'm just another Andy. I guess you guys are all family, huh?

There's even one on this side of the pond (or the other side depending where you are!).

I haven't logged on in ages. I changed my job a while back and have been v. busy. I'm working up in London, sitting here in my hotel room and found a free wireless connection so just had to log on...
