In case you don't look at the latest links thread, the OCC domain name was registered exactly ten years ago to this day.

http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/occ-tenyears.htm

Hopefully it'll continue for another ten. The forum was added in 2005, and after myself the most prolific posters have been, in descending order:

buzzy bee
peter scott
47p2

with pigtin, Richard H and penman not far behind.

Thanks to everyone that's helped with advice and material for both the main site and the forum.

Rick.

Happy anniversary Rick. Hope to start regular posting again once I have got fishing out of my system. Spent yesterday fishing in a boat in the Thames Estuary and returned home tired, wet and vowing not to do it again. Embarassed

You've obviously never ridden in my A7 special. Shocked

I agree, keep up the good work, you will have good days and bad days. Just think of the people that look and enjoy your site, even if they do not make a positive comment. It is easy to make a negative comment but fewer people will post a positive one. I wish you well for the next 10 years, I have a look around every few days and try and make a comment if I know anything.

Congratulations Rick, and many thanks for the foresight to start the site and forum and for all of the work needed to maintain it.

I am sure all visitors appreciate your efforts, I certainly do.

Hi
Congrats on keeping it going Rick.

I didn't realise I had been so prolific with my posts.
