how did all you admins meet, was it through the forum or did you know each other before the forum started.

We knew each other from another forum. Long story, but we we were unhappy at the direction the other forum appeared to be taking at the time, so some of use left (and some barred :-X) and set up this place 8th July 2006 so we could create a community of like minded enthusiasts...

And I remember the date, as it happens to be my birthday ;)

Long story but I have know Dave since the Yahoo group, most of the first members were members of a Vauxhall forum, and we all migrated here.
I am pretty sure the admin all have known each other since the previous forum, well quite a few live near each other.

A subtle reminder ::)

well quite a few live near each other.
Currently, LB66 and MDTM are only a few miles apart. AA and I live a fair way away from them and each other ;)
Remember, Ronnie McB, stepped down as an Admin at the end of last year...

Its a cracking forum, mrs miggy is a member of the renault 197 sport forum, not as good as this one and a lot of their members seem to have lost the plot of the forum.
I am hoping to attend some of the meets to put faces to names.

The lakes looks like being a biggie. The Scottish meets seem to have a small, but dedicated following, and looks like a good time is had. Santa Pod had a good few turn up, despite it being bloody cold.
We are quite new, so not had many meets.
The 'cambelt party' events, where all sorts of work gets down on cars, are usually very popular. We had 2 on the same day in Brackley back in February - both my road and Tunnie's road were full of Omegas. Stupid idea doing it in February though, weather was wet and cold, and the light soon goes. Must do it in summer next time...

Lately I have seen quite a load of meegas in my area, NEED TO GET SOME FLYERS SORTED OUT :y

I am sort of in London - on the outskirts near Heathrow and yes, this is a great forum.
I went to the Brackley cambelt party and it was a great day. Unfortunately, I was unwell so could not stay the course, but it was a great day none the less.

how did all you admins meet, was it through the forum or did you know each other before the forum started.
I was working as a waiter in a cocktail bar, when I met them.
They picked me out, and shook me up, and turned me around
Turned me into someone new
Now one year later on Ive got Omegas all around
Success has been so easy for me
But don't forget it's them who put me where I am now
And they can put you back down too....
Sorry...... :-/
I was originaly on the vxon forum with my Cav etc.....then moved in to the then some what quiet rear wheel drive section having bought a facelift Omega.......
Then things got a bit heated and the new forum was setup....
First met Laidback66 through VXON when he said to come along to a meet near by which was being organised by some of the Yahoo group.......
I never realy did much on the Yahoo group, mainly because the front end was so naff (its only a news group at the end of the day!)
Met The Boy when he dumped oil all over my drive at a cambelt party I held (it was cold that day to!) >:(
Met Auto Addict when he popped over to have his cambelt etc changed.....had spoken a fair bit before.
Met Mr McB when he joined VXON and needed loan of my cambelt kit.
Been trying to escape ever since......

:-[ - It was Ronnies' car, and that was destined always to leak, esp on your drive :P

No chance, resistance is futile....

I met LB66 first, then MDTM, Matchless & RMcB, then TheBoy at Santa Pod, + a few others
Shortly afterwards I was invited to become a Mod.
