stephen_gusterson - 25/9/03 at 09:31 PM

and if you search TOL I once said this was a waste of time cos there was no one on it.

Then I backed up my standpoint by being the 115th member. I didnt bother using the site that much tho....

I was here on the 17th of October.

So, and I've asked this before, who was here on the 15th/16th?

Sit down ChrisW I know you were!

I maybe the oldest active member, certainly feels like it.

Cheers

The father of Locostbuilders (except for Chris an he don't count)


Ben_Copeland - 25/9/03 at 09:50 PM

chrisg - 25/9/03 at 09:53 PM

How dare you insult a man of my stature?

I didn't die in two world wars so the likes of you, young whippersnappers could call me old although I am.

Cheers

Chris


Ben_Copeland - 25/9/03 at 09:59 PM

stirrer - 26/9/03 at 10:52 AM

Be interesting to know how many of that original band that are STILL posting

Actually have built a car .


David Jenkins - 26/9/03 at 11:02 AM

Wonder why you chose the tag "stirrer"...

Anyway, this site is for talking about building cars, isn't it?



David


JoelP - 26/9/03 at 11:34 AM

Planned it, built it, and f*****d off.

still, i recognise a few names from the list, so some must still post. Funny those who registered and never made a post? Musta been boring or quiet in the beginning.

Theres another forum i go to where you get one post every few days, mostly answered by the moderator.


MK Goldrush - 26/9/03 at 11:47 AM

ie SBs who spend their lives dreaming in virtual reality ?

OR

Guys who are building or will build who need and give lots of advice with like minded individuals.........'kin brilliant !

Discuss:

I'd say very much the latter but there are a couple of the former (you know who you are.........'kinell ! 2.5K+ posts in two years !! That's three a day without weekends off !!

I wish you all well.... particularly the builders and doers..........to the dreamers, .........dream on suckers, life will soon be over

And now I must fly........come Kato, to the rocket-ship..........


sgraber - 26/9/03 at 03:12 PM

I am #18 on the list.

If I recall (memory being not what it used to be), Chris and indeed many of us were FED UP with the Crap that was being posted on TOL at the time. But Chris took matters into his own hands, bless his saintly soul, and started this site. He made the announcement over 'there' and a number of us traipsed over to check it out. I felt bad at the time that someone would try to split the main group and so didn't join while I thought about it. My biggest problem was that I didn't like having to visit the site to read the messages. But in reality it's a much better format!

As it ends up, Chris has provided the framework for a thriving community. It's suprisingly civil and ON SUBJECT most of the time.

And I have been building my car the entire time!


JoelP - 26/9/03 at 05:31 PM

and you still had to use virtual reality to finish it! the bodywork that is....

coming on very well though. Mines one ugly twat but if i keep soldiering on over winter *shiver* then all will be well. damn single garages!


sgraber - 26/9/03 at 05:38 PM

Virtual Reality bodywork, ah yes - just like all my girlfriends?! I draw my inspiration from www.persiankitty.com. Not an ugly twat in the group... ok, I'll stop there....

Joel, I would imagine that the front of my car will be very similar to your Avatar. Is that the Zonda C12 Roadster?


JoelP - 26/9/03 at 05:51 PM

was gonna swap the avatar for a house boat and have a laugh about your front end! but photo archive dont work so i'll have to be serious

yes, zonda, not a clue about the model but C12 does ring a bell. lovely car innit? if yours looks like that you will be buzzin.

No you F**king haven't

The best I've done so far is a rolling chassis on a new set of alloys with a pinto engine and type 9 installed. Now I'm going backwards 'cos I removed the pinto to make room for a 4AGE and it hasn't even been out of the garage yet.
It pays not to rush these things.


chrisg - 26/9/03 at 09:49 PM

Crikey!

Just who have I mixed you up with!

Bloody altzhiemers

Sorry Mate

Cheers

Chris


paulbeyer - 27/9/03 at 06:31 PM

Best You take someone with you when you go for a sunday drive Chris or you might never get home.


bob - 27/9/03 at 07:31 PM

So thats why chris is known as a profesional passenger then.


chrisg - 27/9/03 at 07:36 PM

I'll have you a race Bob!

Cheers

Chris


bob - 27/9/03 at 08:05 PM

James - 29/9/03 at 03:22 PM

Blimey, was I really 70th?!

Wish I'd signed up sooner after I started lurking now! Must have been lurking a couple of months before joining. Experience of TOL had meant I was too scared to post anything for ages in case I got flamed!

Cheers,
James

P.S. Who was it on TOL that slagged off this site because of us having "stupid" avatars? Steve? David? Were you the guilty ones?

You can try, but please have a better excuse than "not agreeing with a moderator"

Because that's why they banned me!

Incidently I've been asked back this week
