Another milestone

[Mike]

From the looks of things, I'm guessing we're going to get our 60,000th post sometime later on today.

Some of the old-timers around here (Rick & Thomas being just two) will likely be shaking their heads the same as I. :good:

Thanks to all of you, for making this site what it is today. I am in awe of what you've all done, believe me.

NONE OF THIS IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU!

Truer words were never spoken.

I ran across this site when i was kicking around the idea of building a T-Bucket. Added it to my favorites and went on my way. I would occasionally peek in for a quick look see. One day i decided it was time for a T-Bucket. I had a some time off work so i set down and went through this entire site. I was ready. Sold the jeep and bought my T-Bucket. I only wish i had done it years ago.

So here's to the best dang site on the web. :good:

Hey guys
I am NOT a forum person and took over 1 year to go with you guys. Guess what. Its brilliant. No one bad mouths anyone, your all positive and I enjoy both reading and posting things
You get my vote (which is more that gordon brown will in the next few weeks, if you keep up with UK politics)

60,000 Wow. That's cool.
Congrats Mike. You run a class act here.
I don't have much to contribute and yet I gain a lot.
One of the really great things is no nasties. I can say something dumb and not get railed.
I started on my T journey nearly 2 years ago (at 50yrs old) and by the looks of it I'll be 60 before I get to drive the thing.
I sure hope this site is still around then and is still as great a place to visit.

Well Joe, that puts you in the class of Butch27, he's been working on his 12 years. I think if Rick and I push him just a little harder, him and his wife Wendy will be hitten the streets most of this summer.

Great job Mike, it's been a great joy to me having been a part of this for so long. I can remember competing with Rick, Fred and you for the most posts. Fred and Rick sure did kick my tail. Love all you guys, thanks for being apart of the best and friendlest site on the internet. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

There's nothing I can add that hasn't already been said, this place is fantastic.

We didn't have computers back in 67 when I was building my bucket. If I had a problem I had to run over to the local gas station or junkyard and see if any of the guys hanging out there had an answer.

I had a bucket in 67 also only it held lincoln logs.

"I had a bucket in 67 also only it held lincoln logs."

Now that's funny and I'm in Canada where we never had them!

"that puts you in the class of Butch27"
I hope that puts me in good company

Hi Larry,


It is our unique power to weight ratio that makes our cars so fun to drive. I get a kick out of looking in the back of car magazines for the results of all the cars they have tested and see that even at 20 times the price, nothing is in production that will out-perform our cars.
