There's a milestone 
10,000 Posts for NZ PHers
We've ranted, laughed, cried, ranted some more, got confused (particularly by some of Roger's posts), shared the joy of new toys, ranted (thanks Helen), taken the p1ss out of TradeMe hopefuls, progressed from cursing LTSA to cursing LTNZ, (did I mention ranting), seen progress on a couple of builds, tried to help some welcome immigrants, seen Hampton Downs go from an idea to being granted consent & well under construction, there's been road-rage, weddings, photographs, natural disasters, Dunedin, children, unnatural disasters, the Greens, speeding tickets, television appearances, plus a thousand other things; and we've had a few fun drives . . .
Thanks very much Ted for the fantastic forum and CHEERS
to all the local PHers for your advice, encouragement, opinions and funny stories

a bet that it was Esprit 
Ok so why did everyone join up PH in the first place? Did you buy new car, motor needing fixing, pass time talking to like minded individuals, friendships ??
To be honest I dont think I would be here today if it wernt for B Beauty. I knew that she wernt dime a dozen and with only one workshop in Auckland it could be an interesting ownership. So first thing I typed into google back then for Esprit forums bought me here. The Esprit forum here used to be the no.1 site, until a few others started up of late and kind of took over
not a bad thing I guess. I have made some awesome mates over the years and the endless help I have had solving problems on the car has been huge. 
Onwards and upwards

Strangely enough, I was a PHer before he was, I got into it through PikeyNet (Ben Pike's website) when I was drooling over his TVR antics... and I used to browse regularly.... but I was chatting to Paul on MSN one night and he told me you could sign up (I didn't know that at the time), and so I did... and it's been history ever since.
Still one of the best general motoring forums on the web, and one of the best all-round Elise forums out there... not as active or technical as SELOC, but more based around the enjoyment of ownership

It's quite relaxing coming here with less 'bling' than many other forums. Some are so busy with animations, pop-ups etc it would induce a seizure 
You must be joking I’ve had that Peugeot advert jumping out at me every time I load the front page and every time my cursor gets near the Aston Martin thing half the screen is covered in an involuntary dropdown. 
It did used to be better though

.I prefer to chill out though, I'm sitting back here in my ChairWorks chair, sipping some Twinings tea and listening to my SONY sound system.
I think I joined up to chat with some car nuts who weren't blindly fixed on either (a)Jap turbo stuff or (b)V8s. Some people on PH have the sorts of cars I tend to aspire to but can't see myself being able to own anytime soon, so it seemed a good way to sortof share in others experiences of the cars. Think I've actually learnt quite a bit along the way too.
Heres to the next 10,000 posts! 
(PH is also refreshingly free of the whinging/angry?emo teenagers you seem to get on some other forums. And focussed more on driving than posing (except for maybe the Ferrari forum
