Pistonheads 16 year anniversary!

[Cacatous]

Hi all,

Coincidentally I was reading another forum's anniversary thread and thought I'd check here as I know I've been a member for a while and wow, would you believe it, 16 years today!

I joined because I had my heart set on a TVR Tuscan S and wanted to know more.

I owned the TVR, lost it, got another one, sold it, then moved to Australia where I've been driving econoboxes ever since.

Keep driving, keep smiling and maybe one day I'll own a Pistonheads worthy car again

I had to check; relative newby here (12 years in a couple of weeks time).

Happy anniversary and happy motoring (regardless of what you drive)!

I was here when it was all fields. Grime didnt exist other than in wheel arches and anything with over 200bhp would bring the girls running, hence the user name...

Just ticked over 15 years myself - a helpful pointer from TVRCC forums brought me here with a troublesome Griff. Where has the time gone?

[swisstoni]

TVR ownership brought me here too. Feel like a Chelsea Pensioner in internet terms.

N00bs!

Hands up if you were on here before it was renamed Pistonheads?

[swisstoni]

Was it called Petrolheads first? If so that rings a bell.

That would pre-date the adoption of the incredibly stupid Americanism in your thread title which appears not to realise that the "anni" in "anniversary" when not further qualified refers to celebrating/commemorating the number of years since an event occurred, rendering the word "year" a tautology which should be replaced by the suffix "th".

It's your 16th anniversary.

What's the deal with the 'months' under everyone's username then? 16*12 = 192 months, yet some members have more than that...

Oh, and happy anniversary

Because it is the OPs 16th year and not the sites?

I'm a relative young'un....will be 11 years next month.

I'm a relative newcomer at only 7 years. I too came for the TVRs. I coveted ownership of a Chimaera, and regularly gawped at Racing Green's stock when it was based in Ash.

Sadly, I bottled out of making the leap back when there was a convergence of my budget and the cars' pricing. Now, with my budget eroded to almost nothing, and prices rising, I fear I'll never get my name on the V5 of a TVR...

Pistonheads pedantry alive and kicking for 16 years too no doubt

About 15 and a bit years for me. Wow, time flies.

Doh! PistonHeads: reading matters...

[K50 DEL]

I am but a young-un... just over 12 years for me, came on board whilst looking for an Impreza and never left!

[xjay1337]

3 years or so seems to have flown by!

Still my favourite forum. Long live PH.

Nearly 17 years for me.. came on to check a route through Germany in the TVR. Pre google maps etc.

Used to use an atlas to plan trips.
