In the 90s i went thru a BMX thing and joined Vintagebmx site and I coined schwinndog. Growing up I never got a Schwinn always just hand-me-downs. Being older I could finally get a Schwinn. Dog means I know nothing about them. I signed up here with that name. Logged back in yrs later and it said the name was used. I then added a Y.

Can we change our user names? I would like to use my name instead. Ppl think I like Schwinns! Ha! Avator is my Colson at a local barn.

Duchess is the recurring name for the beloved vehicles of the main character in my books throughout various lifetimes (though, he doesn't always know why he names his vehicles such).

The original Duchess was a late 17th Century Scottish duchess that the main character, the son of a merchant, had an ill-fated love for.
Duchess was the "privateer for a free Scotland"/pirate flagship of said merchant's son in an attempt to shore up a floundering Scottish colony in South America and to drive the English from the Caribbean.

Duchess the First & Duchess II were P-47 Thunderbolts stationed with the 56th FG in the UK assigned to the same character in a later life.

Duchess a heavily modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon used by smuggler-turned-counter-terrorist Dante Moretti in the present(ish) day (and a not-as-heavily modified one in perpetual "restoration" status in my garage).
Duchess VI an experimental armored monocoque car built by Dante at series' end as an "end of days" insurance.
