Default blueoval's 10000 posts

While most of u will accuse me of post whoring, trolling or just being a bit too fanatical about the forums, i just wanted to make this 10000th post in the section I have thoroughly participated in as well as found helpful. the au falcon forum.

This has been not just a enjoyable journey for me these past 6 and a bit years, but a combination of information and great friendships I have made as well.

Be it most of my posts may be useless to most of u, I hope some of my posts and limited experience has helped u in some way.

My au has been the most reliable and most powerful Ford I have ever owned short of my v8 eb xr8.
difference is, this car is staying in the family. It will most probably be my last Ford unless i inherit stupid amounts of cash. Lol

Anyway enough of my ramblings. Thanks all.

Congrats Shav - it's a good milestone, full of (mostly) quality posts - whether it be about your car, or events, or others' cars. Looking forward to the next 10,000! (For the record, this was my 13,594th post)

Well .... at least you are half way there.
I guess I'll have to post my 20,000th post thread soon I guess.

As JC said though ... full of mostly quality posts (take it as a compliment).
And seeing as you have been awarded with a Valued Contributer ... it means something.
