Whatever happened to?
As the title suggests “What ever Happened to” All those people that used to be on here?
I was looking back over some of Dave’s OLD videos and saw some faces from the past that I have not seen about these parts for a while. This got me to thinking about all those former regular forum contributors that appear to have vanished.
Panik (with a K) & Hanny are two Forum names that I do remember but there were many others.
The guy with the gorgeous Porto Blue with dark wheels (Phil I think?)
The young fellow called Steven whom always appeared to write controversial posts; apparently he was a jolly nice chap when people met up with him
The Guy from Kent with a sprint Blue Coupe, worked for a phone company (Mika??)
Whilst I know the loss of the old Forum did cull Forum members (it took months for many to drift back and some never did) where are they now ?
So whom do you remember / miss from the FORUM old days?

Pretty sure all those guys bar Hanny are still about.

The guy with the gorgeous Porto Blue with dark wheels (Phil I think?)
PhilD nows drives a very powerful evo and accord type-R, pops in now and again. he sold his coop and the new buyer crashed it and wrote it off within months
The young fellow called Steven whom always appeared to write controversial posts; apparently he was a jolly nice chap when people met up with him
SA20V or now known as Stephen, he stills posts under Stephen, made me laugh when I met him, he said "Ahh so you're JimO" I was thinking the same about him
The Guy from Kent with a sprint Blue Coupe, worked for a phone company (Mika??)
Micah, he still posts now and again, he sold his coop and is loved up with his gf.
Anyone else
What has happened to Hanny though and where has Beast gone now, and I do miss JaceyBoy and his one smiley posts

Saw Hanny NOT that long ago, was driving an A6 saloon which he was having de-dented. Hanny had been poorly and they had a second child ... I think he may still lurk ananymously, so be careful!
Micah posted the other week about offices and flats

I doubt anyone noticed, but since the new forum (ok not so new now) work and loads of other things stop me getting on the forum as much as I did!
My post count over the last 12 months is still struggling to break the 3 figures
Still browse (and post) when I can, still love my coupe and at least get to the club events when possible.
Guess the same goes for others..

That would be Sloggs, last seen chasing MrsF in her roadster with his newly acquired Lotus Elise. Not been around of late, think he`s had a lot on.

Yes that is right, he had a yellow 16vt. Seem to remember he had the worst run of luck ever, even bought a Skoda and that kept breaking down too. His life was a tail of woe

I remember meeting him at the Scottish Italian Car Day in 2005. He made me feel better about being the only 16v NA coop there by telling me I should be proud of the racing heritage that the engine has and should by no means feel that its any lesser a coop than the others that were there. So he`s a top bloke in my eyes

Yep Elephantasmo
6' 8" in his bare feet
He had a lovely banana 16VT that was on its third engine, 2nd gearbox, etc etc
He'd had so much trouble with it and had thrown loads of money at it but had finally decided that him and coupes were not to be.
I travelled down by train to look at it about 3 years ago. Drove it back to his house and started to give it the once over. I got underneath it and it soaking, some kind of fluid leak. Decided I'd give it a miss and he drove me back to the station. On the way back his DV started mooing like a Jersey Cow
He wasn't a lucky chap
IIRC SA_20v moderates a Formula 1 forum.

Ah, happy days , well, mostly.
Sl0ggs has his Elise up for sale and is working hard. Sadly has split up with Sarah though. Just had a quick chat with him on the phone.

Re: Whatever happened to? - 10/05/2007 19:27
Boysie is on now and again. Depends which Gibbo you mean as I think we have one but not the one from ages ago who lived in Scotland. And CL's mate was _Tom_ wasn't it?
Sure he popped in randomly only a number of weeks ago..

The moderator Beast is refering to when he says he's had his account hacked is me, so just to clear it up and make it so everyone knows what your talking about:
Beast, I dont need to hack your account, I can 'edit' any posts made on the forum to clean the posts up and remove unwanted material, just as Dave has done in your post above.
I have nothing to hide, if I make a mistake I will openly admit it.
No one is pushing you anywhere, you make your own choices and decide what you want to do.

So why do you keep coming back then? You had a strop and left after the ford incident saying you weren't coming back, then you did, irrated a few people, then left again, when you were told you were wrong about bump stops, and back again? So why keep coming back if there is nothing for you?

Sure he popped in randomly only a number of weeks ago..

Re: Whatever happened to? - 01/06/2007 02:14
Did someone mention my name?
I stopped looking in here after the big crash and my account went west.
Stephen and Sarah are still together and have a Coop between them. I've been to Spa with him twice now, once in my Elise and again in the Evo that replaced it. As Fishy D pointed out I now run about in an Aygo and get my Italian kicks on Ducati Monster.
Fastedd worked in the oil/gas industry and moved with his work back to Scotland. Onyx is still in Norwich and I chat via MSN every so often. TrevKX125 had an Evo last time I chatted and a collection of motorbikes. Dunno if Ed is still on here but I see him and Leon pop up on MSN occasionally. I last saw Ed in Nottingham funnily enough, a totally random and unplanned event I hasten to add!
I'm guessing the name causing all the censor labels is M Y C R O F T or Mycunt, Mycrotch or any other variation on a theme!

Did someone mention roadtrip! Nigel do you realise you're the only man to see me retch, having treated me to a wet ring and Belgian mussels (Nurburgring before you ask - god, who do you think I am!).
Nice to see some of the olde faces on here. I must admit that I was always happier chatting to Fccuk members online, at the '444' meet (04/04/04) I distinctly remember taking a step away from sloggs when I was introduced, I honestly saw his hands turn into fists!
And i'm still gutted my famous 'roadkill picture' thread was lost.
For some reason **Sarah** is still with me after the happiest, and most successful, two and half years of my life - she may disagree. Again my forum persona got me into trouble - the constant ramblings about shaved tackle, Jacey Boy and rubber gloves led her to believe that I was at first bisexual, only to then assume all my advances were one big wind-up, there's a lesson there!
Anyway, I'll continue to pop in once in a while, afterall the only person who would benefit from my full-scale return would be Kayjey's shrink - i'm so sorry for putting you through that mate but at least I decorated the sinbin for you!

I think we were just wondering who was going to be the first to mention his withered leg - poor soul
The funniest post I ever read was from SA20V, sort of. Stephen was off on a bit of a rant (maybe he'd just been criticised for putting up a picture of his washing machine in the coupe section, as he was wont to do) and Hanny just edited his post to say something like "I love everyone, isn't life lovely".
Good to hear that is exactly the sort of thing SA could post for real now.

I've come nearly full circle with another Bangle creation - a Z4 Coupe (Baby Beemer is the girlfriends)
Regards to all (if any) that remember me and good to see the Fiat Coupe world is looking so good.

Sorry if this offends anyone,if somethings happened to them that i havent heard of but i will start with a few
Kingpleb
Cooter
Highwayman
Turbosprintey

Ha Ha Kingpleb. My old mate Will. He fell in love and went off with the girl of his dreams. You'll still find him on various veggi-oil burner forums though. I think he thought Veggie oil was the future. Don't know what happened to Highwayman he just disappeared and I don't think I know the other two.
What about the Funkees, what happened to them
And of course ......... Buby!

I am sure he had just over 300 bhp too

He beat 911's most days and I don't think he bothered with ferrari's....a bit of waste of time against his coupe.

This im not inclined to agree with.
I have now growded up and will happily back off at high speeds.
My midfield is still as small as it ever was regardless of losing the odd battle.

I think I saw Markus (the fella I bought my coop from) crop up in the coupés wanted section the other day. I believe he was an old-school forumer who used to be heavily involved with Barbz and Torque Italia. IIRC he had the first coop to do a sub 13 sec 1/4 mile? I think the car he owned before mine ran something in the region of 400bhp and NOS.

I don't think it quite happened like that. In fact I don't ever remember a vs 911 Turbo thread from Welly. Mostly it was VAG products and the occasional big Merc from 77.9-85.4mph, and you all seemed to think it should pull 10 lengths. Sure he added a bit of spin to get everyone going, but you're exaggerating the claims a bit there.
Anyway, who's this 'Garr', I've never heard of him!
