Just in case anyone has missed this information FS is 10 years old on Saturday 3rd May
The site was started in 2004 by Martyn who has successfully run it in all that time during which we've amassed nearly 100,000 posts and attended goodness knows how many meets, shows and events. Our collective membership has helped fix numerous fiats and given advice on other car-related matters. We have over 80 threads in our project section some which have sadly gone by the wayside, some of which are still running and others which are only just starting and will hopefully continue to run for a long time.
We've shared good news, bad news and sometimes completely pointless news (I hold my hand up to this one :laugh
. We've talked music, movies, jokes, gaming and also complete ********... We've congratulated many new parents and welcomed members both young and old into the fold.
This is one of my favourite sites and I'm not just saying it as staff. You've taught me a hell of a lot about cars and given me many other things to think about. I thank you all and hope we have another 10 years.
Moving on to the reason for this week's poll.
To celebrate our 10-year anniversary some of us are heading over to the west coast to drive what may possibly be the most fun and challenging road in the UK followed by attending the vintage car show at Forres. Understandably not everyone is able to attend this but it would be nice to think you'll all be marking the occasion in your own way. So with that in mind tell us all what you will be doing the weekend of the 3rd/4th. Note multiple answers are allowed
P.S. I did ask Martyn to provide a bit of background info on why he started FS but this is a bit War & Peace as it is so I'll let him tell you in a separate post.
