On any forum and in life we need to understand that we all make mistakes, we all misconstrue ourselves, make jokes that only we find funny and we are intentionally (banter) and unintentionally at times offensive to other people, etc, etc. The opposite side is we help people with repairing Omegas, cars in general and other things, use our trades, skills and experience to help with diverse problems, give support when people are down and make people laugh with witty comments. A good thing in life is to be slow to anger and take offence and to be quick to praise and help. (Something that is emphasized on advanced driving courses, accept you and every driver makes mistakes and don't get involved in road-rage!) Personally, I think OOF is one of the best online communities in the world and it is all of you that contribute and make it so. All of you pat yourselves on the back for another year of contributions and comments, well done.
A thank you to the Brackley hamster for powering the server and your flatulence not blowing up the garage again.
TB for working his server magic and all the other OOF admins for their behind the scenes hard work in making the site work
and controlling us unruly lot.
OOF is a good positive nice place to be mostly, so lets all make it even better in 2018.
Wishing everybody on here a happy, safe, healthy, prosperous and great new year and 2018.
