Default Ghost from the past.. Welcome back Casper

Just noticed a few posts by Casper !

I remember when I first joined AU Falcon then the forums Casper was always around offering words of advice and support for both sites.

Thanks guys.
No deals were done, just a coincidence to be honest.
The mob that register the aufalcon.com domain name are being very unhelpful by the way. I've contacted them many times by email and have been totally ignored so I am not sure whats going to happen at the moment. To be honest I'm a bit bemused its still in my name as its been over 2.5 years since I took a break and I know it wasnt registered for that long. Somewhere something or someone has had something to do with the name or it would have gone years ago.

I'll be floating around but life has changed so I doubt I'll be anywhere as active as I used to be. Just good to be back and see a few familier names and a hell of a lot of new ones.

It is indeed good to see a more active return of this nature. I am happy to say that from my point of view it was as much about setting a wrong (that I had allowed to be perpetuated), right.

Cheers

Most certainly have the AU still, its lives on (although with a stock auto again as it has daily driver duties). Still fun to drive though.

Well, that is disturbing. I gave everyone a 2.5 year catchup. I figured I'd be well out of the top 100 by now.

Thanks Maurie... next time I have some time in Syd I'll let you know and a few of us can catch up for a drink. You can take me for a spin in the T3 again.

On an off note I saw Goran (MYTE8) at the shops about 6 months ago and was upset to hear he sold the T3.. I always wanted his car.

Good to see you back Shane. The place seemed very bare without you, and worse when Bucky took a sabbatical at the same time.
Equilibrium has returned, all is in order.

No worries wise old man you do that she needs to get out more often.

Well I imagine he's having withdrawal's for sure - on a positive note its here in NSW and I see her now and then new owner is a good bloke and appreciates her wholeheartedly....
