1 month old today
« on: 11 August 2006, 15:04:40 »
Omega Owners is one month old today :)

We have racked up nearly 9000 posts on nearly 800 threads in that time.

A jolly well done to everyone for giving this forum a successful start, and making it such a friendly place to be.

A well deserved drink to everyone  [smiley=beer.gif]

A truly amazing achievement and many thanks to all of you for making this THE Omega site. :D
You guys are what make this place.

A special thank you goes to Jaime. It is his tremendous work, and use of his server that has kept us going. If anyone deserves a few  [smiley=beer.gif] it is him!  :)

Congrats and beers all round.  (Not mine)

The forum now has all the right bits in the right places and is obviously working, so well done to the Five Star Four.

Anyone want to send me a copy, so I can see if it can be divx'd down to downloadable sizes eg 3 x 25Mb chunks...

If there's not much movement, it may divx down, but probably not that far...

I saw the pre-edit copy.  Robin Hood is going to an edit on it which might bring the size down abit,  but hosting it might be a bit much.

It is a damn good video,  really good explanation of what is being done, Mark does make it look bloody easy!

How long is the video in mins? 1 hour of decent quailty on DivX will be around 300mb ish

Is it worth compressing? If i had a V6 as the main car i would happy to pay a few quid via paypal to someone who had the DVD for a copy and postage..

Just adding my congrats to everyone - especially those who run this site and set it up in the first place.

Would like to add that it has taken me hardly any time to reach a "reasonable" amount of posts here.  Most forums I hang around a bit, post a bit then get bored and don't bother any more.

Now, this timing belt video - when is it available?
