I've posted a few photos on Pistonheads of some of the meets I went on: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/top ... &t=1908256
Can I deduce from that thread that you met Gremlin and Donna?
Gremlin, Yes. Donna, not sure who she is...

Couldn't begin to count how many, over the twenty (!?) years on the various forum forms. Early driving meets, karting, curry nights, trackdays. Met two this weekend even.. Still in contact with retired/semi-retired forumites too.

yep, that's the one. I think it was a BMW spare wheel he was after or something like that.

Ah, it might have been Westcostgirl I was thinking of, they were very early members I believe.

Plenty over the 20+ years...most aren't here anymore (on this forum, I mean...not dead....AFAIK)

TBH half the people I met I'd no idea who they were relative to the username anyway.

I think it may have been at the coast?

Littlehampton or Rustington maybe?

It's gotta be close to 50, but I don't think it's above 50.

And I'm pleased to say, many of you fuckers have gone on to be some of my closest friends, both current and lapsed members.
