NP forum has a new owner

Hi NP team,

The time has come to hand over the torch to someone who will have more time to invest in our great forum.

Over the last 15 years of NP we have all built up an amazing community of likeminded folks not just for the passion of all things patrols but more so similar characteristics in personalities which was the foundation of our success.

I firstly want to thank our mods who have put their own valuable time and effort into keeping this place clean and organised, which I know firsthand is an effort on its own, especially back when we went viral and forums were the go-to platform, without you this place wouldn’t exist, so I thank you for your efforts!

We created a different little place here, a respectful and considerate home for patrol enthusiasts no matter what skill level and knowledge you have. We shared a passion of welcoming newbies which was the heart of the NP success and the NP values we love.

Thank you to the long-standing members who not only looked after NP themselves but also gave up so much of their time sharing their incredible in-depth knowledge and passion to help others in desperate times of need, thank you!

We had some amazing ups and some amazing downs lol, mostly up’s though and that’s what really matters.


I have personally met some amazing people on here and some that I call my close friends, and I thank you the NP members in making this happen.



Our Friends at Patrolapart & Navarapart recognise the incredible value of our community and has generously stepped up to ensure the forum's long-term future. They will invest in the site's foundation, managing the servers and maintenance to preserve this space for all of us and keep it the valuable, spam-free resource we all depend on."

I’m extremely happy that they have offered to do this, without them, this place would have to shut down like so many other forums have done so around the world, and I would like to thank the team at Patrolapart& Navarapart for keeping the flame going.

I’m also not going anywhere folks, please keep creating meet ups too, I just started a new job but once I settle into my new role, I am super keen to keep our trips going as I truly call many of you here my friends.


Anyways lol, not a goodbye but I want everyone to know that this is happening and It’s a big moment in my life as this was my baby for many years and I am pleased that Patrolapart can keep the flame going.



Happy travels NP!

Wow that's a lot to take in and I'm sure it's even harder for you.

Got a thousand questions, but not for here.

Onward and upward mate..

Mrs and I have a plan for our annual trip next year. All welcome to join us, details to come after this year's trip..

AB, this is big news. Good to hear that the forum has the support from Patrolapart to keep running, but let's take a moment to acknowledge what a fantastic platform and collection of passionate Patrol owners you have brought together.

Your 15 years of dedication are a testament to the strength of your character, and that of the other long-standing members, who have given so much to preserve and celebrate the shared connection built around the solid vehicle Nissan created.

Its great that you have secured this, your baby, so that this platform and its members continue on with strength, just like the bullet proof vehicles we all love to own.

All the best with the new job too [emoji123]

Wow. That's a interesting post AB. But part of me isn't surprised it came this way.
Thank you enormously for running this show for all these years for us mate.
I've invested a fortune of posts here, and invested a fortune of $ in Patrolapart. So, I guess it kind of goes hand in hand.

Great to hear they have jumped on board and will keep the forum going. Congrats on your new job, would love to catch up with you and Mark soon.

Well blow me down with a Toyota Axle. Mate this Forum landed in my life at Exactly the right time. I was going through a very dark time in my world and this place kept the light on.

If you asked me 20 years ago if I was going to have a core group of my best friends that I met on the Internet I would have scoffed at you. But my people are from here, my wifes friends are from here. Np.com has played a massive part in my life.

I don't apologise for leading members down expensive roads to land here running 37s, big turbo 24Volt the World. Love those guys.

Unfortunately this place got thin. But Damn did we not give it a crack!!! We outlasted most forums of this structure by 10 years. That goes to the core of who we are and were.

Know this. My Fire is Your Fire! You are always welcome. Reach out here or on Facebook. I will welcome the chat.

Good luck Andy but you can't get rid of me that easy. You will smash the next stage in your life mate. Congratulations

Thank you to everyone that made this place what it is and has been.

Thanks for starting this place and keeping the lights on for so long, Andy and Co. I am looking forward to seeing the forum going on strong with Patrolapart at the helm.

I have bought several things from Patarolapart and will continue to do so, great range of parts at good prices.

Geeze what a legacy to hand over AB..
15 years.. daym. That's flown by.
I look forward to the next chapter.

Thank you very much AB for creating such a productive and collaborative environment here.
Thank you Patrolapart for making it possible to continue.

A big thanks to AB for the best forum going. So glad Patrolapart has stepped up to keep things going.The folks on here are such a great bunch,always ready to help with sensible knowledge and suggestions not only on vehicles but also every day camping .
Speaking of camping you folks are just the best. A weekend with the boys its wild,full on boys weekend but go with the family its do I know this bunch , calm, sensible, and well behaved. Also the comradery is full on . A member down on their luck or going through bad times there is always some one by their side.
Thanks Andy for creating the best. wishing you and all involved the best in the future.
Beers and cheers untill we meet again.

AB,

Huge thanks for everything you’ve done to build the forum and the community over the years. Like a lot of us, I’ve learned a ton here from the people who’ve shared their knowledge and time so freely.

I used to be really active on here, and even though I don’t post at all these days, I still check in and follow along. This forum has been a massive resource for me personally, but more importantly it’s been the friendships and the sense of community that have made it something special.

This place is more than just about Patrols. The respect, the willingness to help, and the welcoming vibe for newcomers. That’s rare to see online, and it’s what’s kept this place still going when so many other forums have faded away.

The forum is going to be in great hands with Patrolapart and Navarapart. I have loved seeing the direction they are going at the moment with reproduction parts, little things that keep our old cars liveable. They've been keeping our Patrols on the tracks for almost 20 years so it makes sense that they are the ones to keep our forum moving forward too.

So cheers to you AB, cheers to the mods, and cheers to every old timer and newbie who makes this joint what it is. I might not be banging out build threads weekly anymore, but this place will always feel like home.

Happy travels, and I’ll see you all out on the tracks.

All the best with the future Andy, it’s been a blast. This forum has been brilliant, I’ve learnt heaps.
The guys above have said just about everything I would have said so I’ll leave it at that.

I’m sure we’ll all catch up in the future.

Pretty much what everyone has already said.

Thank you mate for being there and running such a great place.

Soooooo. The new church is at Patrol a Part? Whens the next shindig? Lol

Crisso can bring the moonshine and Plassy can bring the bread maker!!!!

Thanks from me too Andy. Like a few others I’m no longer a regular poster here any more, but I still look In regularly because this forum , like for others, has been ‘community’ for me, far more so than a few other forums have ever been. We have our own lives, but many of us here have a shared history too. I’ll continue to post the links to our Australian adventures ,even though they are no longer in our trusty GU. Thanks to everyone else here too for being part of our community. Welcome to Patrolapart as the new owners. Hopefully the glue which held us together for so long can be retained & nurtured.
