You forgot 'flat cap' wearers' too Andy.
Or maybe that comes under the banner of Poms?

Does that mean then that as a rugby league-mad flat-cap wearing septuagenarian Queenslander driving a thirty-five year old left hooker, I'm possibly, just possibly, on the outer too ?

Come on Andy be nice to us oldies ... don't we qualify for some sort of "grandfather" or "sunset" type of exemption?

Nope, you just get cheap bus tickets.

Treeve,

I would hope that you come back here more often, I think you have made some good contributions to this forum!

I'm with tenrocca on this one , but we are going to miss you Boxy. Not many envoys from the NT on this world forum, and we want to know what's happening up there.

Im guessing you dont see the same rubbish on the clubbies forum Treeve?
Hang on a minute, the Queen is still on your money, so you're all still pommie at heart!

Correct that the clubbie guys support and celebrate the differences in brands. Not as much d1ck swinging either.

I'm still happy to answer technical / registration questions, but most stuff on here has been about bling not compliance. Function a firm second place to form.

Hold the boat for a second. A thread complaining about all the complaining on the site. I'm confused....

I'll miss the Box avatar.

Gents

The one or two people whom have been 'at each other' on the Forum, have been told to cease - over on another thread where this has been going on.

Both individuals have been sent an email on the Forums 'PM' - from me.

Hopefully, it is read and fully understood.

I look forward to hearing about your build - seeing the question and answer dialogue again - the general good fun. - events organised and being discussed.

Once again, this is a forum and is not a public wall to start writing up grievances and/or venting against person/s products or service.

There is a Thread for this elsewhere, but we all need to be aware that pages from Forum sites have been tendered in evidence during litigation. So please be aware.

Cheers all.

I am back in Australia next week.

Jeez Dave, I was going to ask when you are going to put up another calendar picture of your missus in the shed ?
Damn.
I for one really enjoy what you post and hope it won't be long before you're back

I hope Dave will be back just like many others who have been "on holidays" for quite a while. Just this thread alone shows what a great bunch of people this forum has and an asset base and wealth of knowledge forum members offer to each other. Yes, not everyone agrees on things but after a poke in the eye and a bit of jest we all still can enjoy the same things and share a beer or 3. I've had interstate members inspect cars for me, I've picked up and shipped engine parts for people interstate and vice versa, I've helped people buy things through 3rd parties all because of this forum and the guys on it. I'd be confident in thinking many have also had the same help as I.

Thanks Bernie for moderating and setting the forum back on course.

And Dave, your "what's happening in Boxy's shed" topic is not just amazing for us Oz crew but I'm sure the international cobra community just find what you do in Australia's Outback in all that red dirt really fascinating. So have a holiday and come back when you're ready and post some more of those "finds" and "shed mods".

Its great to see the community vibe does/can still exist.

Hey Boxy,

This forum is like an all you can eat restaurant (not as classy as

Macca's) you can pick what you want to read/follow and ignore the stuff

you dont.

Its an optional thing, like mobile phones, not many people realise that

they have an OFF button.......

I love the banter, it appeals to my sense of humour, so long as no one

gets hurt I think it should continue.

If someone has a bad experience with a supplier WE SHOULD know

about it.

The thread with the bloke from Qld with the Shelby DRB Cobra still

makes me laugh (especially the comments from Gav), like wise the DAMAGE

thread........

Lets all take a chill pill (or a few beers) and get on with building cars,

sheds and having a laugh..........

STIFFY

Ahhhh - "Icetoo" - where have you gone? That was a top thread. (Although I dont think the Qlders wanted to claim him - central coast I think)

I hope the attrition rate doesn't keep climbing. Guy's we've got broader shoulders than this, surely?

Hang in there, there's more good to be had from this forum than the occasional grief caused by some deluded protagonist.

Wazza can't help but take the bait, but the comedy he delivers is a cracker.
