I can't compete with Ruby & Mike, which is amazing and quite special :thumbsup:

However, I've found the forum to be a great social space. I've never done Facebook or Twitter and don't intend to, but I find this forum addictive - guess my post count says it all :oops: I like all the characters on here and have been lucky enough to meet some of them in person:

Mr. Wilks, Taz, Jamie_z4, Z4_Pilot, stevo///m3, Paulgs1000, Patriot66, Paddy wright, Ducklakeview, Stuartt, Cerbra, 85genius, Smartbear, Number5, Cherrym, Markplant, Pastry or Firebobby (zedfest last year?), Cj10Jeeper, Craig3.2, PerryGunn, Lynchy, beetlegav, DPG, David_H, mmm-five, FilterMike, Mac27049, Dietcokeman, Obewan, Jimbo1958, Sammyz.

Have to agree with you Marlon (what a gent), some really nice people on here, even Chris D and Pastry pass as nice :whistle:
This is a very addictive forum with plenty of great advice, great banter and mass discussions that normally end in chaos. I also don't do face ache, but Mrs FB calls this place my face ache.
Looking forward to zedfest again

Phew ..... Happy to have made your list Marlon. Met loads of great people on this forum, many who have become friends and who I meet for Sunday brekkie or a hoon. Some I very rarely see but will be seeing later on in the year .

Collin, I won't get drawn in by his childish remarks but you will notice in the photo how he is fiddling...I think it's called pocket billiards.
Quite disgusting really, when he's talking to you and bear :whistle: :oops:

Ironically, 4 years ago almost to the day I went to look at a 2.5 SE Z4 in Swansea and new nothing about them. I was undecided and walked away but said to my lad "If the Lions win tomorrow morning I'll go back and buy it" They beat Austrailia in the last test, i bought the Zed and the rest is history as they say !

And I've also met loads of great people on this forum... plus Firebobby.

Though I've been on here for years and have met a few fellow forumers I've not been lucky enough for it to lead to anything more than a casual chat. Perhaps I just need to make more effort lol
