Smile Happy birthday Passionford! I think! Hands up those who registered in May 2003!

May be wrong, but didn't this site go live around 22/23rd May 2003?!

If I'm right, for whenever it was!

Who else signed up in May 2003 and has spent days/months of their life on the site since?!

Have to confess I don't come on here as much as I once did (not having had a Ford for about four years being one of the reasons), but I try to come on for a lurk now and then...!

Probably about the RSOC website going down and Dan aka Monte posting up there finances for the year

Anyone still got the same car after 9 year? I'd hate to think how many cars some people on here have had since joining and me included...

Still got mine ( since '98 ) - never really been much trouble so I guess I'm either lucky or maintain it OK . Didn't join here till Jun 03 though so a latecomer.
