How did you find Pistonheads?

Used to spend time on the EVO forum when it first started. They always used to take the piss out of here, so I thought I'd see what was so funny.

Swiftly realised that the mocking was due to inferiority, and never left.

Although forgot my login when I changed jobs, so had to make a new one.

Quite proud that something I posted led to someone joining here, according to one of the early replies.

I also found this place after being on the original Evo forum, I could have signed up earlier than I did but for some reason I delayed it.

I was looking to buy a TVR, and trying to find out what the enigmatic 'Red Rose' label that some cars are given meant.

Stumbled across the NPE thread and have since lost all hope.

I was googling for Titillatingly Vulgar Rosemary....

No idea why it sent me here.

A custard reference on a VW forum led me to the infamous thread and therefore here...

If been using other car forums for a few years and PH was just beginning to gain some scale. Still took me 3 years to bother signing up though!

I beta tested it for Dave and told him to go for it

[JDMDrifter]

Dad was a member and I just started browsing it on his pc, then became a member. Been lurking since about 2003!

I posted a lot back when the forum was one long thread (that I always found rather hard to follow). Then one day I had to create a logon to access the forum and didn't bother for a couple of years.

Linked here from Scoobynet where I used to spend way too much time 5 ish years ago. The general piss taking drew me in as did the mostly high brow posting ... what ever happened to that

You're so modest Sam

It was like meeting an actual celebrity when I found out you were the frozen sausage guy.

No boasting (for once!) - I still can't understand how one quick post (out of nearly 4k) led to what it did. I had a bloke come up to me at MBW, 'dude, you're the sausage guy!'. Wasn't quite sure how to respond...

[heppers75]

I met a couple of guys via FChat and ended up on a Vmax day and off of the back of that joined here.

I was told there was a new european Drag Racing Forum and since I sometimes travel to Santa Pod and read eurodragster.com ,

wanted some interactive reading and liked it here....still miss the barn and the old Lounge.

[TheAngryDog]

I needed somewhere to post about my emo life - seemed like the perfect place

[EarlOfHazard]

I clicked on a link for wheelie girl...

[wildcat45]

I got an invitation.

It was in an envelope from Companies House with the certificate of incorporation and other stuff like discounts on Rolex Sausages, posh razors and 5k off an MX-5.

Psychobert (Simon) pointed me in it's direction 10 1/2 years ago.

I was a regular on another forum for many many years and this place would get mentioned a lot. The other site went down hill so I started to post rubbish on this one instead.

Exactly the same for me.

Evo.

Yup. Hi Matt

During an idle moment I was considering the merits of a TVR S2 (or S3 etc.) and was searching the net, probably before Google was A Thing.

That led to the forum at petrolheads.com which after a few months morphed into pistonheads.com and became slightly less TVR centric.

I see you registered 324 people after me
