10k covered in 3 years

Post by mr wilks » Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:09 pm

Not miles , posts :cry: does makes me wonder how much of my life i have thrown into my time here but in all honesty its been a pleasure .
I joined up to buy a Zcoupe with a casual nonchalance of learning about the car & enjoying it before moving on to something else , never intended meeting other Z owners as i am quite a enthusiastic misanthrope at times :oops:
However the reality of the last 3 years/10k posts being ive met so many top folks through here it has most definitely enhanced the whole Z ownership experience , there has been the odd other car in between the 3 x Zs ive had but looking forward i can only see the pattern repeating so i'm afraid i'l be around a good while longer , hope i haven't upset or offended anyone & here's :cheers: to more miles & more smiles :thumbsup:

I'd have to agree with that. I've had the pleasure of meeting you once and felt an instant connection of like minded interests.

You always add sensible and interesting posts and are a valuable and well respected member of the Forum.
Well done Sir :thumbsup:

Certainly not time wasted MrWilks. I for one have enjoyed many of your posts. :thumbsup:

We drove through your neck of the woods on Tuesday morning, after a a unplanned change to our mini tour of the North. Took the long route down from the Lake district via Slaidburn. then on through Longridge to the M6, on our way to North Wales for the Night. :D
