Former germancarfans, how long has it been. 10-Years?!!

[martinbo]

Osna's around from time to time - posts in the odd BMW thread now and then.

From memory, I began participating at the original GCF forum right around the time BMW were testing the E65 7 series...and that was around 2000/2001...so it has been a good decade with you guys!

Some great friends and plenty of funny memories. I remember Bozzar and his infatuation with Keira Knightly, Martin and Osna with their highly informative posts, HoH with his unwavering support for Mercedes-Benz, klier being.. well klier... Rob with his artistic viewpoint/insight.. TycoonGTR sharing news about the birth of his son... a whole bunch of stuff that still sticks in my mind somehow.

I was going through my imageshack account looking for any old pics...and I came across this quick little chop I did of the E90 3er. Looks like I was ahead of the times.

Great post...

Really. He must have changed that unforgetable avatar... I hardly ever go to the BMW section though.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Nope, he still has that same avatar (now an Osna trademark) combining the three key brand logos.

Another one from the archives...back from a 2005 thread. Check out Just_Me's avatar!!

Quote from the above thread:

Martin, Osna and myself are the "Ancient Ones" Our wisdom is not because of our genes or education...but the fact we have been around long enough to need a bagful of viagra to get out of bed each morning...


Classic Boz!!

You don't remember when he started an online petition to point out that the (then) new E92 M3 was garbage, especially compared to the E46 M3.

I miss Yannis! He was a great guy...

BINGO!!

I do remember that. hahaha!!! ... very funny indeed.

It'd be something if we could get some of these lost members back. Even if only for a single thread, I'm sure they'd feel right at home.

 

[GTA45E]

It sure would be!

I`m quit busy today. Maby you could post some of the ones you remember!

I remember going to MSN chat back in 2000-01. There was a dude talking about German cars in the chat room. I remember introducing him to germancarfans. He was in shock! "Oh what a sick site!!" he said.

He registered but I forgot his username...

Hey guys... I have been on the forum for probably 10 years,

I havent contributed much lately since, I guess I have been driving my e39 for all these years, and I am interested in new cars, but I love mine, and I cant write about it all the time,

Just a quck update, after university I started a car cleaning company, and in Canada we are getting alot of recognition:

I remember it being called germancar[zone] as well! Can't believe it's been this long.

Although I don't post that much on here, I ALWAYS read almost every thread, and contribute when I can.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

I just wanted to honor those former germancarfan members by saying a big thank you for all of your efforts!

Thank You! I deserve it.

I`m surprised we havn`t thrown a party somewhere yet (Florida or Hawaii)...

Lol...Maybe a Benz vs. BMW race. That's the only meeting I would be interested in.

Classic Boz!!

Where is Bozzor(sp?)? I haven't seen him for a long time.

I miss Yannis! He was a great guy...

Whatever happen to him?

 

[martinbo]

Yannis is around from time to time (big gaps) as Yperion. Not active much though...

 

[GTA45E]

Thank You! I deserve it.

About time!
I was looking for a post from you... I believe it was one of your posts I responded to when I first loged onto Germancarfans.

We need to get more (older) members in this thread. That probably don`t know it exists.

God I'm feeling old! Cannot believe I was a member here at the age of 15. Time really flies. Luckily I have had the opportunity of meeting a member from the forum in person and will race against him in two weeks
