First off: Hello, and welcome to de club.
Sad news to hear that yer Storm is needing taken round the back and shot.
It's not all bad though regarding reaching the 50 posts - they
can add up in no time at all with a bit of banter. Before you know it, the required amount can be obtained within a week if yer a busy chap on here! Obviously don't cheat by replying with just an icon of a smily face or thumbs up for the entire 50 posts!
It's a sad thing this 50 post rule, but that was not your fault! - It's been put there 'cos a few other newbies took advantage. They joined up, and banged straight into wanting discount parts from other members or just had the intentions of selling their wares with no inclination of getting involved with the group. Once they were happy and got what they wanted, they took off.
That's not what this house of luncay is all about.
So, to save from future abuse, a few more rules were put in - the 50 post rule being one - in the hope that those who like the site will stay and chat / post pics and get involved - by that time, again, the required number won't even be thought about.
It's a shame to hear about yer VTR, but maybe it can be rescued? Or is it a total loss? Is it written off? Did the CCTs go kaboom? Is it a Teal one (if so, then the colour alone renders it a write off).
If you're planning stripping it, then by the time you get the 50 posts under yer belt, you could have a list made up ready to post.
But hopefully you'd still want to hang around after you reach that point? You might even want to get another Storm which has been sorted and just needs fuel and a good thrashing?
Have a trawl of the various sections - there's LOADS of stuff to pass a few comments on. We're all one big VTR family, and only a few of the members actually bite and leave teeth marks. (the rest are all past it and will just gum you to death)
Me? As you've seen, I don't use my teeth to kill. I despatch folk by the power of waffling.
