Just want to get something off my chest...

[RickRob]

Are there any of the fairer sex still on here or are we now a virtual monastery?

There’s always Fred, he’s very in touch with his feminine side :hairdryer: :gfight:

Well I suppose he wood be.

I’ve always loved this place, couldn’t get off it in the early years of my membership and it ‘helped’ me spend thousands on my first Z... then led me to my second, by way of making a fair few very good friends who I’m sure I’ll know until they’re dead, or imprisoned. The only reason I don’t post so much now is time, as my job has changed, which kind of sucks tbh.

The membership has changed, but the helpfulness and generosity of everyone has not - there’s always one or two who go too far, but most of the time they’re called out before the mods even get to them. I love it here, look in every day, and I know that if I ever needed any help with my car I’d get it. One thing I have learned is to walk away... or stay away in the first place... from anything that winds me up. It’s not worth it - as Nosa once said to me, I spend a large portion of my day arguing with idiots at work, why would I choose to spend my spare time doing it as well ?

Long may this place survive as a bastion of friendliness in the sea of fuckwittery that is the Internet

this shouldn't be a place where one should feel the need to clarify their personal circumstances to another to justify or seek approval for the decisions they make or for the things they choose to share.Jay.

Just remember when someone judges or criticizes another person, it says nothing about that person, it says a lot more about their own sad need to be critical :wink:

I frequented the forum when i had my e86. Ithink i sent bing a auto gear stick after he damaged his trying to answer a question i asked. I did think it was more hostile back then, infact i left after a member gave me his address so i could go there so he could "sort me out" All over a tongue in cheek comment about cats on e85 roofs.
I returned however after a while away. Better crowd and more stars and alot of the old faithfuls still around.

Lol, just thinking back over the last decade of the forum... wonder if we need a “Hall of Fame” and “Rogues Gallery”, lol!

I would nominate Carol and Ruby for the first category, sadly no longer seem to be with us :x

I'm still here! And thanks for the nice comment After selling my M a couple of years back I haven't got an awful lot to contribute to the car chat anymore. However I'm always up for a good holiday thread!

How was Cannes? Bet it seems like ages ago - memories of our Skye holiday have kept us going into the dark winter months, hoping to go back there again next year
