When did you join pelican?
 

2003 here, wow, that time went fast. I looked through, and some of you have been here since before the wheel was round.

It'll be 10 years in March. I lurked for probably 2-3 years before i actually joined, though. I was living in Big Spring, Tx in 1999 and remember seeing Early S Man lived in San Angelo, Tx. Some of the others I recall from that time are Old Skul, Wayne, Leland Pate, JackOlsen, etc.

Yeah, that character that goes by Joe Bob has been here since what, 1999?

there were a few of us on here before they switched over to this 'new' board. Im thinking it was 97 ish?? Anyway, we all had to resign up in 2000..

You wouldn't know it from my post count but I joined in 99. I tend to listen more than I talk.

all that research and I still didn't do the right things...
no PPI.... I'll know better on the next one, I hope!

Let me look

Jul 11th 2000

Way too long ago

6.5 years ago, or over a quarter of my life ago.

More than 10 years ago, as it shows in my sig. I guess that makes me a veteran here :cool:.

What is a senior member......an irrelevant old fart?:confused:
What was the question?:confused::confused:

I had to post just to check! Lurk mostly now as well; still one of my fave sites.

Jul 2002.
My post count here pales in comparison to what it is on the 912bbs. Guess I've been hangin' out there a lot.

since 2000, my how time flies

Dec 02', before you, now get off my lawn.

Not exactly certain. I bought a 325is around 02-03 and did a bunch of research / maintenance on it. I did join the board but don't recollect my handle. I do remember thinking that the Porsche guys were serious Kool Aid drinkers! Funny. I have been drinking the Porsche Kool Aid for 2.5 years and lurking here for about two years before that just picking up some knowledge.

There you go.

It'll be 12 years for me in May. I know one of my early posts was asking about some company call Motor Meister, and wondering if their engine rebuilds were any good.

I actually used Pelican when I was about 10 years old without even knowing it. I found a little info packet I printed off from the 924 tech forums when I got my 924. I joined once I got my 911, and have been loving it (the forum and the car) ever since!

1957 for me.........Had one of the very first computers on my block.....

I used to be on the pcapotomac forum. Great site, great people, but I MUCH prefer this site.

2004 for me. I lurk here a lot more than I post these days. I was very active a few years ago,

Newbie here. Just 7 years.

I am new here.Guys nice to see you.http://www.herfree.com/avatar1.jpg

Not soon enough... 2009

and Wayne was not even a spark in his fathers eyes yet...:D

I joined after about a year after I bought the old E, thus my user name. I had been lurking all that time but had a question about dash knobs and my first post I believe was looking for information about them.

The car has moved to another owner (who might be a new Pelican as well), but you're still stuck with me.

Pelican was indispensable to me through the time of ownership. I was able to re-index the rear T bars to get the ride height corrected, get the sunroof working and install pressure-fed tensioners (bought from a fellow Pelican, gasket set from our Host). Oil changes were a no-mess proposition, thanks to tips garnered here.

Thank you.

10 years next month...my goal, break the 1K post barrier by Dec!

Nov 2005

November 2004, apparently. Shortly after I brought the dead 924S I bought back to life. I was dealing with faulty speed / reference sensors and a bad DME at the same time. Very frustrating...

These days I read far more than I post, and normally just cruise OT.

7/04/2007....


I need to cut back....

I would have a hard time without this place !
12 years and three 911's

Oi....Uncle Miltie....

If I only had his money. In his day he was bigger than Leno and Seinfeld together.

September 10, 2001. Crazy timing...

Too much of my life has been spent here. :rolleyes:

And already 27,000 posts. You need a new hobby.

March 2008 for me.

bah - pre-coffee...

had not thought about it, but its 10 years this month. is my watch in the mail?

When I got my 914

11-20-2002. Two 911 projects later I find myself wondering what the heck I was thinking. Did I have some fun and learn a bunch? Oh yeah! Did I meet great people? A few. Were the long hours, stress, financial pressure, etc. worth it? I guess but not sure

I sure enjoy the reliability, economy, practicality, and fun of a hot hatch now though. I still love old 911s. I just don't know if I would ever do another resto-hot rod 911. Maybe if my financial situation changes dramatically!

So why do I still post here occasionally and lurk about? I guess I have become accustom to the sensory inputs of this place (to loosely quote "Data"). Man, what a nerd I am!

May of '04..... Probably could have built an airplane and a violin or two with all the time I have spent here reading and posting.
