Well AB A lot of water has passed under the bridge since conception (lol).

Ten whole years has passed since you got this Forum up and running.

You've done a superbly marvelous job to get the Forum to where it is today. So, thank you.

I'm almost tempted to start the footy betting between us AGAIN, but the damn COVID -19, and Clunk, has put a dampener on it! Clunk STILL has THE PIC of me washing my ute, hidden in his archives, and brings it out at the most inappropriate times. PML.

Love you too Plasnart and the other peeps that form part of 'the dirty dozen crew'. lol

Take care and drive safely.

I was just lucky to have cracked the shits with that other mob mid 2010 and then found this one just after it started up. No comparison between the two!! I was hooked very soon after I joined here. A family friendly, member friendly, no personal attack forum led and directed so well by our great mate AB. Some amazing friendships made through here like no other forum I've been on. The AB/MB family are amazing.

I dont think the dirty dozen's fair these days to be honest. AB kicked it off and there were of course some people who joined up before others. The dirty dozen was a bit of a gag early in the days but honestly, if you checked the intelligence input of the first dozen members over the last 10 years....err, nup not stacking up. This forum is great in spite of its fiirst "dirty dozen"!

But great memories Rossco!!

It was all very exciting back 10 years ago eh? The posts even a month earlier getting this place underway are great reading too! Bloody AB, MB, Timbo talking between themselves under different names.

But ask yourself, have you ever push started a cargo ship? Well bloody done boys!

Being a bloody Victorian-by-birth you better get back here one day to visit the church Rossco. You can't just declare your love for hot weather and never visit your roots again! She's not cold here in the summer mate. One day we need to meet, after 10 years of banter. :D

I haven't been here long, but it's a great forum and there's no hiding the comradery.
I've been on other forums in the past and there have always been a few bad eggs continuously sturring up trouble.
It's nice that this place is so welcoming and supportive online, but what's really great is meeting a few members in person and they are above and beyond than that!
Truely a great network, online and off.

Hats off to you AB & Co.

Been a member since 2011. First meet up with any members was in 2016 in WA of all places, had even changed vehicles to an other brand. Just happened that AB and MB happened to be there. Since that first meeting face to face it`s heightened how friendly and close this forum is. Been to a couple of gatherings and it`s gratifying to an old bloke like me that the arms , fire and booze make you so welcome. also have meet a couple of folks (members from overseas)
Thanks folks for the past and the future good times.

Happy Birthday Nissanpatrol.com.au,
I still remember getting a message from some feral that was from Victoria that had just started the forum when I was VP of the Westernpatrolclub.com
Thought that I would give it a whirl and see what it was all about and joined on 03/Jun/2010
Back then it was just a few of us but now it has grown so much and is a credit to AB and all of the members here today
Sadly due to health issues I do not own a Patrol any more after owning 5 of them
Still with Nisan only a smaller version, a Navara
Never been much for posting, more just lurking
Was going to say a bit more but starting to get confused
BIG thanks to all members for making this forum for what it is now:cheers::cheers:

PS thanks to Avo for letting me know about our Birthday as I missed it completely

Up until recently I’ve been carting out of Dargo - when I drive up there I often fondly remember the conversation I had with my missus on the way up there to the 1st ever meet I did with you guys - “ I’ll go easy on the 1st night till I get to know the crowd , I don’t want to have a massive night 1st up & upset anyone - I don’t really know what they’re like “ . Well that night I tipped Jagër bombs into everyone , got fairly drunk , ended up half half naked singing around the fire , sat on AB s dog & other shenanigans. Woke in the morning to see the table covered in stubbies & bulk red bull cans . The missus said “ what happened to taking it easy on the 1st night ?!?! “ to which I replied “ I did “ haha good times .

I didn't realise that my joining the forum had been during it's first year. It seemed so well established already back then. AB built it on the right foundations to create an enduring community.Thanks mate. And on that note, it's pretty clear that a lot has changed for you & that life has intruded into your forum community time, but I hope the forum & your good self will still be here in another 10 years time.
