For some reason i had 2 people mention ICQ today, so i downloaded and signed back in..
i found this..


Attached File  ICQ1.PNG   113.27K   2 downloadsAttached File  icq2.PNG   97.25K   0 downloads
Not many on here would remember these guys any more, was quite a few of the early moderating team.
Half these guys i don't believe get on here any more, i still talk to one or two now and then..
Adam (GMHVNS) unfortunately is no longer with us :(

Would love to see some of these guys at a meet one day, at least the ones from VIc

anyway, bit of reminiscing. .

crap, didn't know I still knew mine either. 26972570 - I think :)

Quite a few of those actually still login from time to time.
What you have to remember though, this particular hobby sees people come and go through it with a span of about 5 years.
Generally, it's when they get there first or second car and they simply grow out of it. You've done it yourself too fudd :)
We've had a few generations through since those early days now.

Would have though Juice-E and DCStraight would be on there, or even PuRpS, Andu, who was that guy with the black Astra who got into SPL pretty quickly, or Marc with the Mirage?
