I originally registered back in 2007,and I drift in and out tbh, but that's very much like my car workings as well. Without being here my garage wouldn't contain a 48 year Cortina.... Yes it's taking forever to build,but hey other things in life take over.
If it's car related then here will always be first port of call,for other things they're better serviced in other social media platforms. A place for everything and everything in its place, and car related ruminations then it'll always be RR. If I don't like stuff, step away and come back another day, if it's great I'll be constantly checking what's on.
Credit to HW, it's clearly a labour of love and to be applauded for what he's created.

I joined back in 2004, pointed this way by rainking and DarrenW from one of the VW forums we were all on back then (It's a dub thing maybe? ), trying to flog an old volvo I had. I really ought to post more though, didn't really come back much, but as other forums I used more have died away I seem to have drifted back here, it's about the only (car related) forum I check in on regularly now.

How do you know you are user number eleven? If you click on your username, the URL for the profile page in the address bar will say something like forum.retro-rides.org/user/11 - the number at the end is given when you sign up and runs consecutively from 1 (the first ever member, Hotwire). I'm number 159 it seems, so there were 158 people joined RR before I did.

Thanks for the info though. That's quite interesting to know.

Well, I found one from 2010 when I'd already forgotten my original account and wanted to buy somebody's van on here. But that still only puts me in the top 14,000 forum.retro-rides.org/user/13474I'm probably going to sit and go through the entire directory now in the vain hope I can log in to an account with a long heritage but absolutely no posts whatsoever. = )

If you click on the members button up there quite left, it brings you to an alphabetical list of users. If you then click on Date registered, it will re-organize to the date of ... well you will get it. You can see that HoTWire and four others are listed with exactly the same time on feb 16, fourteen years ago. Spiny was indeed no. eleven, on day two. Now I have another question. How come the stars and statement "Posted a lot" (for e.g.) isn't showing in some users profiles? (Elwoody's for e.g.)

I think I'm member 930 Jan 2nd 2006 so quite a while after the original start although I lurked for a while
I had a lot of forums that I used over the years but now I'm pretty much down to just 3
RR opened my eyes - it didn't change what I like - it just opened my eyes to appreciate more than just rusty Opels
