He's probably dedicating some more time to the vehicles for sale section of ebay.

Occasionally, when the moon is full, you may have a passing glance at Ebay and notice a rogue last minute bidder on a Porsche 944.
Gone, but not forgotten.

Does anybody remember the person who would post using extremely flowery style every time? This must be going back 18 years!

I will do a search.

Isn’t that about the time new posters were banned from NPE?

Perhaps he used to enjoy duelling with such posters, and when they left he got bored?

I noticed people blamed the new posters for the strife but it takes two to tango

Haven't seen Derek recently, anyone know him/ aware of his circumstances in real life? He was quite prolific.

Let's not forget Frank7 - did you know that he used to drive a cab?

Banned a couple of years ago if I remember correctly.

But never south of the river. Actually, I quite enjoyed some of his anecdotes ( & some of Nonsequitur's "puns")

You're all forgetting LoonR1. Also before my time if you don't account for the decade or so before I retired and signed up. Always enjoyed breadvan's classic car input, shame he's gone.

Spotted in the “what are you reading?” thread last night, where his contributions are always interesting reading.

Surely he's off skiing in Borovets, telling anyone who will listen that it's better than Whistler?
Bansko was his favourite - I was the Borovets fan. And I was obviously wrong.
So it was, I stand corrected. As it goes I was discussing a potential trip to Bulgaria last week with a mate who goes there with his young kids, it is ideal for them given that young uns just learning don't need masses of terrain. Bugger all snow so far this year though.

I used to enjoy some of WB's posts mainly because it became apparent that we live in the same neighbourhood in Reading. I never met him but reckoned from various things he said that we live within 500 metres of each other, so maybe did pass each other in Waitrose where he would have no doubt have dominated the aisle.

Also Prof Beard ( wavey if you're still lurking, Mark, and I crossed the dark side a couple of years ago and got a SAAB Aero 9-3)

Mark did sadly pass away a couple of years ago. His son posted on his Facebook page.

Digga?

If you mean him, he's still very much around.

There were a load on the main Brexit thread who ranted on [for or against] forever and a day. I haven't seen most of them recently - perhaps they emigrated.

All banned ?
Breadvan72 was quite prolific & opinioned in my time here.
Attention seeker who loved to flounce for the only reason of coming back.

I thought Yipper was okay, and I couldn't understand the stick they got.

Can't believe he left almost 5 years ago - time flies! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?me...
