    Default Anyone around from the Roadfly (Roadflea) days?

    I used to be on all time. probably since 1999 or 2000. I remember this board from Roadfly and then it moved to another board and finally here. Used to lurk around but now that my E30 is basically done and I am bored with driving the truck. (04 F150) I'm going to start dumping money into the E34 again. Just wanted to see if theres some of the really old guys still around.

    Ah, yes... the good ol' days...There's still some of us lurking around, but not like it was back then. Some have moved on, and others have found other interests. Most of us still check the board even if we don't offer up a post, lets see how many of us we can remember.....

    Phil Coppin
    Tim Collins
    Quinten Pinner
    Geoff Hoad
    Gordon Lawson
    Shaky Joe (his pictures were always out of focus) ...=)
    Bill Rickard
    George Mann
    Marcus (in Indiana)

    Gee, now my head hurts from trying to remember others, I know there's plenty others I've left out, not on purpose mind you, jus' cause I'm too old and tired to try to remember them....=)

    At quick glance, it appears Phil Collins was among us

    I've not been around nearly that long (2003), but have 'conversed' with a few of them there oldies.

    When I was banned as shogun there long time ago, most of the E32 owners moved out there out of protest against their system to Bimmerboard E32 forum. E34 on RF is also 'empty' now, some from here sometimes post there to help out, same like a certain 'highline'
    I just feel sorry for the guys asking there for help and do not know other boards where they can get help.

    I remember a lot of those names JR. Most of those guys sold their cars? Did bruno get rid of his? I saw Tim Collins' car about 2 years ago but I think hes into driving around 3s now.

    Glad to hear it. I've been spending a lot of time in my E30 with half the hp of my wagon. I'm already eyeing up brake upgrades for the E38 that I don't yet own. (Imelda already went and bought a set of 17" BBS RKs for a car she doesn't yet have. )

    I started hanging out at Roadfly around 1999...it's definitely changed alot since then. I hardly ever visit anymore. When I discovered Bimmernut, it was still the older format. I truly enjoyed the humorous banter between the wide grill and the narrow grill folks. I think it was finally decided that the narrow grill was better on the track due to reduced aerodynamics or something like that. Where is George Mann? One knowledgeable dude.
