Guess whos back!!!

Postby Daz » Thu May 26, 2016 12:45 am

Hello ireland!!
Ok i've not come back to ireland, and i doubt there are many owners on here from when i was a regular. I can't believe its been about 12 years since i left... but believe it of not i still own an FTO well 2 actually (the second an abandoned project car for evo 3 turbo conversion, kids are bloody expensive :-》) but i Still own the second one i ever bought, the one i had when i left ireland, its been off the road 7-8years thou... kids had to get a family car etc but have been getting nostalgic of late so have decided its going back on the road. So i hope to be popping back on here from time to time when the bug really kicks in.

Bernard and Kace are here regularly. Sebastian too as well as a few "new" names. It's a bit quieter, but the info is just as good as always.

I remember a few names from when i was a regular there was cj ofcourse, kevinod a couple of guys from kildare dave was one was the other steelrod i think...hummmm?? Or was he from elsewhere? Man my brain is fried... oh and bullit was a regular..then there was agent provocator... lovely lady... dam who else.. come on brain think..... yep midlife crisis.... brain not up ta much...
Don't know if i'll be the post monster i was back in the day.. but i still have a few bits on knowledge and insight ratteling around up there if the brain will let it out.. thou i might have so start a new thread for some help myself as most of the websites and links i can remember are either gone or not updated in years as i found out this morning. But i look forward to getting back into the game.

Welcome back Daz, things are a lot quieter than you'll remember.
But, as I've been saying for a while now I think FTOs are due a comeback (albeit as classics) and I'll take your presence as a sign that I'm right :smt006

What about the famous John Jones - any idea whether he still has an FTO, wherever he is now.

Ohhh are we talking Jon Jones... the creator of the FTOOC
. I haven't got a clue been out of the game for too long but if he still is an owner he would have me beat... he bought his in 1997 if i recall correctly and started the FTOOC in 98/99 i think
