Re:How did ya come up with forum name? 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
I like to cruise along US Hwy 129 hence the name 129drifter.

Hwy 129 wanders through a bunch of the curvy parts of the Southeast accessible to us flatlanders. Twisty mountain roads are my thing every chance I get to escape the heat and humidity of Northwest Florida.

Funny how people who live at a touristy beach location dream about going to the mountains and people who live in the mountains want to go to the beach.

Re:How did ya come up with forum name? 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
it is the name i came up with for gamming on xbox live. the S is for stephen (my first name) the Von is a german term meaning "from" they used it kinda like a noble term like duke or lord, so i threw that in there to make it sound more german. And to top it off i have my last name which is german Kleinhenz

Fun read! Think it's as fun to realize how wrong I am when trying to figure out others nicknames.

circlenine is a reference to Dante's last circle of Hell. I have a small media/publicity business on the side called circlenine media.
