Viewing: Approaching our 10th year

***waynne*** · 19-01-2012, 12:50 PM

TorqueCars have our 10 year anniversary coming up! The site started in July 2002 and it has grown far beyond my wildest dreams.

From just a few pages about my Rover 200 GTi to 1000's of pages is no mean feat. It is also amazing how quickly the time has passed and it is nice to see that some of our original members are still very active today, 10 years on!

I must say it has been quite a journey, we had some tough times, challenges and attacks over the years but we've got through them all stronger bigger, better, leaner and fitter. We've tried various software, moved servers and are still looking to improve our users experience of our site.

Thanks to all of our members for making the forums such an interesting place to be.

Thanks for all the new threads and topics which keep things fresh and promote lively debate.

Nice work Waynne! I know everybody on here appreciates the constant hard work and effort you put into this place. I've been here 4 years now it just feels like home!

Here's to many more years, and many more threads that go completely off topic! Cheers!

Well done Waynne, out of the 10 years I think you've spent 8 of those working on here!

Here's to another 10 years!

Of course, we'll all be driving electric cars by then so we'll have to re-name the site, AllTorquecars!

Xavier, Kemo, HDI fun and I still see Isamu from time to time - bear in mind that the forum software was updated in 2006 so people had to re-register for this forum. There are plenty others, and some non posting lurkers from the early days still hanging around, but these are the guys you see on here quite often.

**xavier** · 20-01-2012, 01:06 PM

Yes I'm very much still around! Nice to see the site going from strength to strength. I remember the early days and things have really changed a lot for the better. Keep up the good work Waynne, and all the other moderators.

***T9 man*** · 20-01-2012, 01:21 PM

So really your a veteran xavier! how does that sound?

**xavier** · 20-01-2012, 01:57 PM

Not bad at all I still don't have much reputation though!!

I actually helped Waynne out with www.torquecars.co.uk/vw section all those years ago. Waynne keeps nagging me to update it but I'm just a bit busy now a days!

**Puntopimp** · 21-01-2012, 01:45 AM

Well with a 10th anniversary why don't you do like an anniversary meet at a big well known place for everybody like the Aces Café Waynee? Get a Photo of all of the members who meet? and have it on here or something I think it would be a great thing to do like a Torque cars Birthday Party LMAO minus the cake.

I'm Proud to be part of this community I mean without you guys I wouldn't know half the stuff I do on my motor

***T9 man*** · 21-01-2012, 07:19 AM

Sounds like a great idea PP it would be marvellous to see it happen!

**stamford** · 21-01-2012, 10:34 AM

You've done extremely well over the last decade. Surprising how quick the time flies. The MG forum I co-own is having its 5th birthday this year, many said it wouldn't survive! It's the members that make a forum what it is. Well done everyone.

**PugD** · 21-01-2012, 11:09 AM

Congratulations everybody in contributing to torquecars.com and keeping it friendly, knowledgeable and a great laugh. To all you long serving members it's a credit to you guys and especially Waynne.

I'm a newbie to this site and i'm already addicted!

Have a happy 10th anniversary!!
