We always welcome newbies on here but I wanted to say a big

to all the oldies on here that have been around since the beginning of the forum! (Those that remember the old style forum!)
I won't name names but you know who you are!!!
Why not use this to say hi!

probably tooo much like me - I was the first

I was testing for Lyndon before it actually went live - and still not got the most posts.

Some of these youngsters just have too much to say for themselves - ERM!!!!!

Thanks Julia - it's been great. As I reflect.

1. I waited 18 months for my CC, and spent most of that time here
2.Got it in Feb 2002 and haven't looked back
3. Turned 40 (now I'm sure I qualify as an oldie in more ways than one)
4. Bought a set of plates in March 2003 "CC 3070" that now take pride of place in my cupboard
5. Am in the midst of an amicable separation with my partner
6. Life looks great

Remember when the forum was full of posts about build dates, and 20 weeks wait, constant hassling of dealers, calling customer relations everyday etc. the newbies today have it too easy, just walk into a show room and the car is waiting for them!

Oh and it was a pleasure meeeting you

All too true Col.
I remember the massive delay on mine and the total disapointment not to have it when they said I would.
The dealer who told me a story that my original CC was crushed on a transporter and had to get me another one (someone else was told the same story!) but funnily enough when CCs were as common as 4 leaf clovers they managed it!
2 years down the line and I still love it.

Julia

Do you own the oldest CC on the forum or would that be da boss?

Julia · Post by **Julia** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 12:14 pm

Nope
Lyndons is older than mine.
Mine got delayed and then when it was ready to be collected I went on holiday for 2 weeks. :rolleyes:
I debated cancelling 2 weeks skiing in Lake Tahoe to be able to get my car but I didn't!

Amanda · Post by **Amanda** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 3:49 pm

Nope it is quite shocking - only 43 (or is it 44 now) posts in 2 years.

Must try harder. Right only 3679 posts to go and I am level with Erm.
