Been a while
« on: August 26, 2024, 04:59:03 PM »
G'day fellas,
Haven't been here for ages, nice to see a few of the old members are still here and active......
For me it's been around 6 years since I've posted and life's changed a lot.
From divorce to driving the bird across Australia to start a new life and build a new Bird cage.
A few of you may remember my RAT-AM build which I had to let go as part of settlement.
Still have the 10th Anniversary, which I'll have till I'm too old to drive.....

Anyway hello from Western Australia and nice to be back......

Great to hear from you Lucky Phil, As I have been restoring my Tenth Anniversary car I often think of that ill fated trip your first one made. Hope things are looking up and going well. Stay in touch on here.

Welcome back Phil!  I remember that cargo container story very vividly.  Sounds like you’re doing well.

Most forums like this (cars, boats etc) have seen a drastic reduction in traffic, even PY is way down.

Phil, Again great to hear from you.

But I think we should focus on the fact that an old friend has stopped in to say hi (and hopefully stick around for awhile) rather than the negative vibe of a 'dead forum'.
