Where are the old members at? registered 2001 and before

[Boost231]

just wondering who is still around. im taking old timers from 2001 or before.

 

[cool 84]

I'm still around. I got the car my senior year, December of 94, and I think I registered on the old board around '97.

 

[NOKA72]

whats up guys....i said the same thing myself...lots of new blood around here...but hey thats good to see too....later vinny

 

[HOTSIX]

Here and there

Im still here - remember commin in as a newbie way back when I bought the GN on blocks behind a barn...knew zip. Thanks to the guys on this board - I got her rebuilt, restored and back to like new again - dont mention how much was spent !!!

 

[SinistrV6]

Been here since Aug, 2001 according to the stats but that's not right. I bought my first GN in '97 and registered shortly thereafter. Hmmmm........

 

[TDS-84]

I stop in all the time, and read. Don't often find too much I can add, though.

 

[John84GN]

August, 2001...still here, and finising my motor FINALLY :biggrin:

 

[alb84]

I'm still here. Had my GN since 1990. Every one's history was lost when the site went down. I was a young guy with a young family back then. Now I'm so old I can't remember when the site went down. Later.......Danny
Well I guess it had to have been may of 01.

 

[Bat]

Still hanging

I was here when the crash took place. I can't remember when that was. My car is still not finished. Too much going on.

Hi guys. Originally registered '98 or '97 but I remember a big crash of the site and thats why our sigs say '01 and the month we re-registered.
Still lurking and post now and then. As I mentioned in a recent post I, among others Im sure, am guilty of just not being so inclined to respond to every thread anymore. Just about every thread I see now has been repeated time after time after time. All the info is already here (and gnttype.org) and plenty of it through the search feature. I love to help out and eager to learn more if there is anything new and interesting to read. At the very least I will sometimes post a link to a past thread to answer some questions.
We have actually accomplished something over the last 5+ years by the performance accomplishments that many hotair owners have acheived. I remember when 86/87 guys would always mention just one person with a hotair going fast when I was getting going with mine (Lee, as if you didnt know :tongue: ). Well, I know that to no longer be the case for sometime now, because they have heard of many hotair cars now going "fast". Even I have gained quite a bit of respect with my car locally for achieving more than was expected by some [with much less than expected to do so]. Hotair cars are now viewed as a worthy acquisition more so than in the past [not just the 86/87 version].
Its great to see plenty of newbies because that just shows the popularity of these cars is growing. The downside to us ("old" members) not posting/frequenting the forum as before [and moderators interjecting as well], plus the fact that many of the new members dont use the search feature to benefit from the past input from those who really know, is that [I have noticed] alot of so-so or even false info gets thrown around. That doesnt help our community at all if each "generation" (for lack of better term ) is learning and plotting out ground that was already covered a decade+ before.
Just some of my opinions and observations, dont think Im out of line [but let me know]. Nothing personal, if someone is new at something I dont expect them to be miraculously an expert all of a sudden, and thats the point. Its just that some of the stuff I read now makes me go.. . Those who are thinking in the right frame of mind will know what Im saying and not take it the wrong way. Just my 2cents, back under my rock.

I was here pre-crash, too. Late 1997 or 1998. I don't post as much as I used to (actually, the car collects dust in the garage more than it used to as well). A couple 'o kids will do that to ya.

I bring my son every time I take the car out. It's just finding time to go out cruising that's tough. Plus every time I take the car out I find something else that's broken.
