Not a new member, more of a new-old member but having not posted here in years I thought I would reintroduce myself and say hello. My profile reminds me that in a few short days it is will be 10 years since I joined - how time flies! Not sure why I dropped off... life, kids, work and not much to report in the way of chod adventures but most probably because of a change of jobs several years ago, which brought to an end those glory days where my office set up allowed me to sit, unobserved drinking tea by the gallon whilst scouring eBay for the best chod available and spending a large chunk of my day on here. Great times! A 'proper' job has long since put a stop to that.
Anyway, what did I miss in the past 5 years or so? Is Tapatalk still a thing? Never got on very well with it. Forums are best enjoyed on a proper computer rather than a phone, IMO.
I do not have much to report on the chod front. The old Range Rover went years ago 😪 when the sills got to the point of being flakier than a Greggs sausage roll, but I was pleased to see it given a total overhaul and back on the road last year. An old 5-series estate came and went, not before TWO cracked manifolds did their best to poison me, however, my old Saab is turning 15 this year and has needed regular fettling to keep it running well and I have enjoyed doing a bit of spannering again recently. Looking out for a project to work on with my eldest, who seems to have the car bug too!
Finally, I noticed that several of my old chod spotting photos on here still seem to be alive and links working to where they are hosted on Photobucket, which I was amazed by. Have not used Photobucket in years but if anyone knows how and why they are still working, I'd love to know.
