Congrats! I wasn't there at the beginning like that old giffer flasher (he almost died, you know) but 7½ years out of 10 isn't too bad.

I'm really happy to have had PH as part of my life for all that time, and to have made all the friends I have.

It's been..... emotional. wink

(And I get a buzz whenever I see anyone use my emoticon cache too. That's pretty cool)
Here you go.

I see you are very nice to have posted about me being on Pistonhead long time ago. Thank you Ted!

How's the Punto? smile I really hope you are the REAL Chassis..

Now PT has you sussed - how about a hint for the rest of us??
That's his original profile alright. Welcome back chassis!!! laugh
There is no other chassis other than chassis I think and I am still chassis.
I have not seen mungo in long time since training school all long time ago.
I have new car although this is still Fiat and is fast but not too fast so I can control and stay on road when I go fast at night.

XR2 Mark 1 - torque steer? Are you mad? Best balanced fwd car I have ever owned or driven - mind you that was my first one - a lightly used 3 year old. By the time I bought another one, 14 years had passed and boy had that car aged badly.

For torque steer you should try an XR2 Mark 2! I changed lanes involuntarily at some traffic lights once.

Oh and thanks for Pistonheads - the best website for a sad loser such as myself bar none.

Had a dig around - here's that fantastic Chassis thread...

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

A bit too blatant for me though - some of his earlier stuff is a little more subtle with some fantastic riposts from the likes of Domster "Yeah, I'm sure there are a few people who'd love to introduce him to the workings of a two stroke engine, maybe fingers first ;-)"...

....or Greg E40's classic "God, looking at these posts apropos chassis, I salute you all: you have the patience of saints !! Reminds me of a quote from Fawlty Towers:

: "Please try to understand before one of us dies."

Congrats PH on 10 years, and superb work Ted, i've made some great new friends through the site, and unfortunately for my wife am even more obsessed by cars now than I was before I found the site.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first PH meet watching the 2CVs tear up Snetterton!

I found piston (and petrol) heads relatively recently, but it's been... educational.
Good to know you all, hopefully I'll time some meets with my trips home.
