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...

I've met a few of you, but none of you for a very long time...

Was the last time I saw you at a service area on the M1 near Leicester?

Ginger Ninja?

Met lots at trackdsys, meets and Christmas meet/meals. Bought 6 cars of various ones!

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.

Who were the 2 that got married?

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

They were. And he’s still here

Oh I lost track when usernames changed years ago!

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.

Are we counting ones who have flounced?

Quite a few but I'm terrible at remembering who I have and haven't met.

Yes. (Well I did anyway)

I think it may have been at the coast?

Littlehampton or Rustington maybe?

More than a few in UK and in Aus. Nearly ran into one in Germany as well.

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.
