Slimy38 - 29/7/23 at 08:33 AM

I'm a relative youngster, only 11 years... although I do remember joining just before my first batch of metal arrived, which means that I've been building my car for around a decade

You’ve started a thing ….I just checked, my 20 year anniversary was in May! I missed it lol

Looking at the ‘most viewed’ threads list always brings back happy memories

18 years for me. Seems like yesterday. Russ


Slater - 30/7/23 at 04:09 PM

almost 18 yrs for me now, 2 yrs as a lurker, then I sat in CalvinX's (remember him?) GTS Panther and decided to get my own.... on the road 2 years after that.


JoelP - 30/7/23 at 04:49 PM

You met CalvinX?! That's a claim to fame


Slater - 30/7/23 at 07:05 PM

Yes, I did meet the "legendary" CalvinX, he lived a few miles away from me up in Aberdeenshire, after I had a sit in his Panther and decided to build a Locost myself, we both went to buy my donor sierra which I got for 50 quid back in 2006. He was quite a helpful guy actually! I recall he fell out with a few folk on here and deleted all his posts.

This is my first post in years, but pop back for a look occasionally! I’ve been around as nearly as long as Conrod!

I met him twice, once in Stonehaven at a meet and once at his house. Tbh a very nice chap and I hope he's doing well. Would be a laugh if he came back here, would add some spice to the mix!


rusty nuts - 1/8/23 at 03:44 PM

Nearly 20 years for me as well, only joined to sell a wiring loom.not on here very often these days. I also met Calvin X once, nice guy and very helpful , a lot of info went when he deleted all of his posts. Didn’t he moved to Cyprus or Malta? Wherever he is I hope he is well


JoelP - 1/8/23 at 06:00 PM

He got banned for being toxic. He just didn't convey himself well on a keyboard.

A smidge over 14 years for me. Lfe has changed a lot over those years. Married, houses, 2 kids, multiple jobs, many many track days. . . .

I have enjoyed this forum, bought my 1st Striker from bimbleuk on here. Bought loads of stuff, sold a few things and shared lots of knowledge. I have met a good few of you as well over the years.

Still check this place daily.

Congrats all for making this forum STILL the best car forum on the net!

20 years for me in October , and man, as others have said, have we seen some changes in that time.
Kit car industry is a fraction of what it used to be , so many good manufacturers have gone for good.
Makes you wonder where it will all end up?

On the plus side, last weekend , I sold my Stylus to a 24 yr old lady- her second kit car
after writing off a Striker - so there is new / young blood out there
