    I have been around the site for a few years now having owned the T5 for longer than any car I have ever owned in my 29 years of car owning. I can only say that I have always been very happy using the site , regardless of any potential possibility for 'changes or improvements'. I look after websites/forums too but always always for fun and social reasons. Lots of people seem to use websites now as either a revenue stream I.E pay to join or as a way to excercise their perceived power over people.

    I have never seen anthing remotely like that here and have met and chatted to lots and lots of decent and helpful people. I would like to think that I'm one of them.

    Long may VPCUK continue.

    I think if we started to charge people for the pleasure of joining the registration count would drop through the floor. (So that won't happen whilst I have a say). Also please be assured I'm not here on some power trip and in the background are creating governance policies to ensure no one gets to friendly with the ban stick etc.

    For the most part the site will continue to be the site you've always enjoyed. (And the some part will be changes which will hopefully please the vast majority of existing and future forum members).

    I have size 14's...........joking aside I'm also looking forward to future developments. It gives me a chance to give back to and hopefully ensure the future of the community I've loved being a part of.

    I'd have thought emlyn would be too busy driving back and forwards to deans (among others) to look after the site. lol

    Cheers justin for starting this site, its good to spend time on a friendly forum where people have a sense of humour and like to try different things with there cars.

    Long may the forum continue.
