OV9

I was browsing the movie thread for inspiration and lots of old names were popping up and I wondered if anyone knew what they were doing now? Examples were, David Yu, JL, Preacher, Broccers(although he could have exploded with his own rage) etc.

One thing I've always wondered - of all the long standing members of the EVO forum of old, why they stopped posting once it moved? None of the EVO staffers ever got involved anyway, so bar it being hosted on the EVO site the link was tenuous at best.

I had no idea a free watch was such a big draw.

The other thing I'm occasionally amazed by is that many many moons after some of them stopped posting, my post count has still not exceeded theirs

I'm still very close friends with Clayton, see him regularly

Rev is on Insta.

I keep in touch with JL approx once a year.

What’s JL up to, last I remember he was living with his ex who was mother to their newborn or similar?

See half way down THIS page - which means it’s been rather more than a year since my last contact

Edit: that’s pish - I did indeed have an exchange with him last year

He’s got kids and spends his time betwixt Germanyland and Dubai > brought the RS4 over to the former, and now has an M2 in the latter (in addition to the LC, bikes and a share in a boat afaik).

I bumped into Rev last weekend, he happened to drop in a bike track day at Oulton where I was supporting for a mate of mine.

Broccers active on X and Insta, I see him commenting on investment bots and the like.

There's a name I'd not seen in a long while. Say hi!

The majority of them never transitioned over here did they?

I haven't caught up with David in person for a couple of years, but he's doing fine - he does put the odd bit of content on Youtube -

Ah, good to know, he’s on my Facebook but hasn’t posted anything in years, I know he had cancer a few time so was a bit concerned.

That pleases me greatly Jim - I recall he had some health issues before and did wonder, around the time we lost Coaster, if he's doing OK.

Give him my best.

I was just reading the F1 thread and the OP was Orange Cola, what happened to him?

He’s Donald Trump now.

PWIG (Peter Wheeler Is God) sells cars out of a place called Car Barn and I see him post the odd advert for their quite tidy looking motors on facebook. https://www.carbarn.co.uk/team.html
