Got divorced, met current wife, got married, acquired 3 children, bought a Volvo, helped generate 2 more children, refurbished late uncle-in-law's and sold for a tidy profit, realised Volvos are the way forward and bought another one, and now I'm here. I think I may also have drunk some wine and eaten some peanuts along the way.
Well I turned 18 in the year 2000, so basically all my adult life, up until this point. Posting on a car forum on a Saturday night.
The one constant has been my lovely wife, who I met in December 2000. We stayed together despite me being at boarding school during sixth form, then working overseas for 18 months, then different Unis. We got married in 2009, and just had our first child earlier this year.
So yeah, a pretty good millenium so far.
