2000 posts 
... about that in miles to 
.... however probably 2000 smiles also :lol:
Says it all really!
At school I was always a little different to the rest of the crowd, a little more reserved perhaps a little more mature. Now a little wiser I'm still referred to as the grandad of most groups and I think you can see this in the initial predictable stages of my car history (at the time of joining the forum):
The Micra sums it up well (4 years I had that red bubble!!) followed by a short stint in my mums E36 320i, which I then traded for the Mitsibishi Colt Mirage. Which to be fair I should have kept as its probably depreciated only £1500 in the last 4 years!
Then I got my Scirocco which I had wanted since I was about 16 and man how I loved that car! I enjoyed tinkering with it and just the pure styling but a few years later again I would get a yearning .. this time for the sublime E24 quite possibly the best BMW ever made IMHO.
It seemed sure that I would be with these cars for years to come, but then all of a sudden
BANG I was hit by the E86 bug.
I joined the forum over 3.5 years ago as an eager young 25 yr old and as you do started searching autotrader, pistonheads, ebay, etc daily. I had always wanted a car in black with red leather and this was my opportunity to do it in a very sexy package.
I knew straight away that I couldn't afford the insurance on any E86 but this did not deter me from signing up to the forum and keep learning and searching. At first I wasnt sold by the front end but its grown on me and of course the rear end leaves NOTHING to be desired!!
Roll on 2011 and I had the bug so bad I was finally able to put my man maths above repute
And fork out for DEAD END:
And so after only 13 months of ownership somehow I have managed to mark 2000 posts, dont ask me how or why or even when because its been a blur, but all the same what whizzing great fun
