Long ago, at a website far, far away (GT3 times), there was an Estonian by the name of O.Z. He was a fast guy and was posting loads of excellent times. Some of them seemed a wee bit too fast, and he was getting some hassle to try and prove his times. I had some webspace, and a TV capture card, and was looking for something worthwhile to put on it. O.Z videotaped some of his laps, sent me the video, and I captured it and uploaded it. I put a few of my own laps up, and then got some of Mr P's laps, and my website was born. One thing led to another and I was getting replays from everywhere. At one point, I was the leading result on google for "GT3 videos". During all of this, I joined here in October 2002, took part in some races and the rest is history.

My First post

No hello or anything, just straight in as if I owned the place. :D

My first thread
GT3 Picture quiz

Unfortunately, I don't know where the picture is. I did a part 2, part 3 and a part 4 too, but the picture is missing from all of them.

In my time here, I've created 177 threads, (most of which have been banning folk...), and here are some of my favourites.

Trial Mountain - 2 hours on red tyres - GT3 Race Report

Silvia in the PD Cup - GT3 Race Report

Ayrton Senna fined for bus crash

My **improved** car - April fool's joke

I pwnz joo all wif my mad tyte tank dr1ft y0

My car is possessed - This thread was originally in the premium forum, but I've moved it specially.

Here are what I believe to be my biggest contribution to the GT scene.

GT Genome Project

GT Genome Project 2

Well, those and all the GT3 videos that I hosted that started me off.


So, that's the first 10,000, and at 5.28 posts a day, it'll take a wee while for the next 10,000, but here's to 'em anyway. :cheers:

Well, this is why Dave makes the big bucks. :D You've accomplished quite a bit on this forum. Congratulations! 👍

P.S. Maybe when the Gran Turismo go online, you can teach the rest of us, the ways of speed racer. ;)
 
"Vegeta, what does the forum say about his post count?"

"Its over 9000!!!!!!" *destroys forum

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Congrats and keep posting decent stuff, unlike I.
 
Here's to another ten thousand, Mr. Anderson.

Congrats Daan!!!
Here is my hope of getting 10'000 in 5 year or so..... :lol:
 
Congrats daan, here's to whori...... posting another 10000 :D
 
Nine thousand, six hundred and forty-four puns and one-liners shouldn't count, of course. :D

Nevertheless, congrats on the milestone! :)👍
 
That April fools joke was good. I don't think someone of less importance to this forum would have got the same responses though!

Congratulations, Mr. Anderson, it was also a pleasure meeting you at UKGTP8.
👍
 
Thanks for the responses :D

Congrats daan, good idea to make the thread. :D

Yep, the idea came to me in a flash of inspiration... aka a PM :dopey:

I think you missed a few puns. I thought it was more than that.

philly cheese
That April fools joke was pretty good!👍

Yep, it was fun doing that.

Nearly half a Famine, then.
Click to expand...
And he joined after me!

Which reminds me, I suggested to Famine that he should join here as he would like it...

So, its all my fault. Sorry...
 
You're a fine one to talk! You joined after me - and you've got almost 4 times the posts ;)
 
Congrats, not just because you're a great mod but your a damn good member too 👍. Get yourself drunk in celebration.
 
Congrats!

...Although, I just realized that I passed you yesterday or so-ish. I'm now at 10,050...

SAGE, YOU'RE NEXT!!!
 
Congratulations!

You win this internet and yet another Nissan Skyline Vspec. :dopey:
 
beard whore :)

Lets get back on topic of Daan's posts anyway :)
 
Just thought I would take the time to say :cheers: crazy Dave and thanks for the drink back October time, during my particularly pathetic attempt at the old 10 pin game.

Congratulations my fellow faster clio endurance driver. 👍

EDIT: this is my 1000th post what a coincidence. I am 1/10 of the way there.
 
Man - I can't believe postwhoring 10 thousand useless posts gives you the right to make a celebration thread - What's GTP coming to ?......

'Grat's Daan, Nice going ;-) Fingers crossed I won't make it to the same anniversary !...
