oh hey my shit's on autoweek yo!
first publication in a major car mag since 1983 when half the damn car and driver letters section was emanating from the same address in chino CA. you won’t find my name because i signed em all with goofy fake ones. and, crucially, i never once mentioned my age. ETERNAL PLAGUE OF SUFFERING ON ALL RAT-LIKE CHILD OPPORTUNISTS who guarantee getting their letters published by writing “age 13” after their names. have some fucking dignity ferchrissakes.

Davey G's link wouldn't work for me, not PPH's, nor this. All I get is a few facebook comments. What am I doing wrong? Can someone post it here, if that's legit? Thanks.

I just want to be sure that the overloaded-Zafira ride to Sligo in '02 (6 people + backline & luggage with someone in the boot (trunk)) was in at No. 1.

Johnp, check your email!

Peter Hughes once wrote an entire concept album that reimagines Juan Manual Fangio as an avenger, bent on bringing swift and deadly justice those who've perpetrated crimes against Latin America. No, really. He did.

yeah he did... and it fucking rules.

speaking of PPH, actually, i've just spent the last hour (and i have another two to burn - long train journey) working my way through his photo diaries. Totally voyeuristic, but pretty cool.

Thanks Cali! I'm grateful and devastated in equal measure - the Zafira didn't get a look in. Must ask PPH for that pic if he still has it - it wasn't included on the 5Tools tour diary.

thanks, shlacky. i just realized what a weird/rude thing it was for me to just say that and not actually post what he'd said. Yesterday was a long day...

Haha no worries at all! I didn't take it as a fault on your part. Also research (even at this low level) is my jam.

i'm just too lazy to contribute valuable information but foolish enough to contribute unimportant information. you're the best.

Right then – I’ve been on these forums for over a year now. I’ve merged, I think, rather seamlessly into its fabric and I’ve actively contributed snippets, items, cynicism, enthusiasm, the occasional haiku, and a frequent argument.

I’ve enjoyed it all.

But now I hope that those who’ve been here since it was just fields could furnish me with an answer to the question that has been threatening to type itself since I first joined…

1. What’s the deal with the second ‘Peter’ in Peter Peter Hughes?

kthxbi.

(I’m expecting comedy answers, by the way. If it’s just his middle name, I’ll be sadly disappointed!)

Thanks y’all, here’s to another year of solid forumming and then I’ve got a real peach of a question to ask…

(edit: shit, that post sounds really entitled. NOT my intention, i was just playing on the usual 'one post demanding answers' that we often get...)

The fact that you have to qualify and defend yourself before asking a question really shows how we've come as a forum!

I think its just his rock'n'roll pseudonym for his solo stuff. not really an in joke or anything. see here: [www.fivetools.com] and here [peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com]

Oh, i don't think we have to qualify and defend... i was just being silly and passing the time at work.

i want an in-joke

and i want to be in on it.

The origin story of PPH, in his own words:

(Should you wish to avoid the boring truth, do not highlight below!)

"Do you want the truth? No--it's a stage name. And it has its origin in that it was a name that was given to me by some of my friends in Rochester when I left a message on somebody's voicemail who I hadn't talked to in a little while and I left this message: 'Andy, it's Peter. Peter Hughes. Just touching base.' And when I get to his house and a bunch of our friends are there they just start mercilessly mocking me. 'Oh it's Peter Peter Hughes! Peter Peter Hughes is here!' So that was that."

Hey, thanks shlack!

Not the most exciting, but i feel better for knowing.

They used the same joke on a Beverly Hillbillies episode.
