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

I think it may have been at the coast?

Littlehampton or Rustington maybe?

I think you delivered an eBay stereo purchase to me after that, hence the meeting at Leicester Forest East, but I’m not sure of the dates now. It’s been well over 10 years though; we’re overdue a catch up.

I just remembered a close friend who I was hanging out with on the weekend playing Gran Turismo is an ex-forumite.

My excuse for forgetting this fact was that this was in 2002.

The great Evo Xmas video CD debacle I think was my introduction to the forum two fucking decades ago.

Jeez, can't believe it's been that long @Jobbo

I remember getting that and dropping it off at the services, couldn't remember what order the events happened in though

Would love to catch up though, add you say, we're probably overdue!

Jimmy and Evana, SD and Westcoastgirl, Cal and Foxy…?

I'm divorced and so is Foxy. She's a brand ambasador for Cannondale and Bike Park Wales these days.

Initially I was thinking it might have been 10 or so, but I bet from the various meets way back it’s probably 20+ of you weirdos.

2 cars too, both M3s

Isn't SD now Simon on here and married to another these days?

Doesn't bode well for forum relationships. 3 for 3

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...

Well the story goes that Gremlin had a 'thing' with Donna at a meet that involved some backdoors. I believe he then came out. It was a tumultuous period . No judgement, If I'm wrong someone will correct me.

Correct.

Forum marriages are bad.

Pretty accurate although the 'thing' was not at a meet, they were seeing each other for a while despite living at opposite ends of the country. He dumped he at a track day at Croft (she lived down south) and another guy had to take her home.

I knew I wouldn't remember it all correctly.

Hope they've both settled down OK now, although they provided us with a laugh at the time with these antics (you tend to do stupid shit when you are young) I would hope that they hadn't stumbled from car crash to car crash.

She did friend me on Facebook a few years back and was engaged to someone. Don't know about him.

That's why I turned @Beany down.

Broke my fucking heart, that did.

I think I met a few from the old forum in the very early noughties (Yorkshire meet and that time I went to Donnington Park and span my fiesta off) but I would struggle to put names to them now.

Mel is the only girl I remember from the old board... I wonder what happened to her?

I keep trying to track Carrie down, we were good mates but lost touch when she started dating. No evidence of her on social media.

We have manners, darling.

I avoided everyone after JL offered to fuck me.
