Title: Greetings
Post by: kd on May 01, 2026, 06:58 PM
Greetings all!  Gurgie turned me on to this site sometime last year, but I had a rather tumultuous year and took a break from all social media.  Besides, had nothing new to discuss on the auto front, but that has changed, as of today.
 
Oh yeah, I retired at the end of last year. 
Anyway, I've logged in here from time to time to see what's going on and it's nice to see lots of peeps come over from the old Autos platform. Brig and Sir O, and hopefully more that i missed, are back from the abyss!! 😊

Out of curiosity, were you a part of the old autos.ca forum and if so what was your avatar's name there?

You guys are practically neighbours... can't remember KD's username on autos, maybe S2k? But he did have a S2000 at one point & then a Z3 M roadster.

Hi Brig.  Unfortunately, Stanley is no longer here.  We had to put him down late last summer.  Reason for my absence, more than anything else.  Still gutted over that!! He was 2 months shy of turning 6.  :'(

Oh man I'm sorry for your loss, 6 years is not long enough but no time is ever long enough when it comes to a good dog.

Well then, welcome to you too.    Most of us are from the old autos.ca forum which went defunct a couple of years ago.
