...of there being any PH'ers on here that are people that you know, but you didn't know they were PH'ers?

There must be c42,000 members now so surely some of your family or friends frequent these pages and you don't even know its them.

Last week, I was speaking to somebody who I know very well. The conversation turned to cars and he told me that he has had a Griffith.

Without giving too much away, he was surprised how much I knew about his car. Its only then that I discovered that he too was a PH'er.

Small world eh?

I found out about 3 months ago that I had been on holiday with a PH'er and didnt know that he was one...

Mind you, he wasnt one at that time.

Nearer 42,000 so you're only out by a factor of 7.

I met someone where I was working last year.

It wasn't until after we'd had a chat and gone our separate ways that I worked out he was a PHer who I'd had a 'phone conversation about TVRs and warranties the previous year.....

I found out part way through the last year that a guy in my karting club, D_Mike, was a PHer. I used to get him and D_Angle mixed up on the forum, which is a bit silly when you consider that he uses the same username on other websites I visit.

Does anyone else find themselves looking at their local 'exotics' for PH stickers in the back windows, 'just in case'?

And I went running* up to a Lambo driver just roud the corner from where I am living and started chatting only to find that he frequents PH too....


* in that typical Beano style, like I wave at TVRs when I am in the four-ring-eurobox Mrs Beano despairs!

I bumped into a mate that I went to uni with (incorrigible) and had lost contact for 6 years.

Also discovered that someone down my street was as well.

I know a PH'er lives at the bottom of my road, and another works round the corner. I also have strong suspicions that a PH'er works at my Stockbrokers.

Not just exotics either. If I'm stuck in traffic I keep my eyes peeled for any PH stickers in windows.
