People on the Biante Forum.

[singer]

As most of you are aware, I've been a member of this Forum for a long time.

During the time on the Forum, I've had the good fortune to meet quite a few of you & correspond with many more.

This year has been absolute crap, what the Queen would call, an "Annus horribilus" both for myself & my family.

I have used the Forum to keep myself sane during this trying period.

I have had nothing but support from people who I wouldn't know if they passed me by in the street.

Thank you one & all, as its been a pleasure to be part of such a network created by Biante, but sustained by you all.

The caring nature is what I believe makes THIS Forum THE BEST

It is an absolute credit to you all.

Many Thanks
Ken Darling

[Damage]

I'll second those kind sentiments too Ken. Some great blokes here and I'm glad I'm a member.

I'm sure a few would rate a special mention from me, malscar and KAL SPL spring to mind. The others know who they are but youre all a great bunch of guys (bar one or two :D )

[minh427]

i 3rd that, Thoughts are with you Singer.

This forum is addictive, i try to go on it where ever i can, even when I'm at uni.

Thanks to all who have helped me for my model needs, especially Damage_Inc. And to even people who just post, you make this forum an interesting read.

You mean me right. It's me isn't it. I know you mean me. It's me, I know it is. Am I right? I just know you mean me. I knew it.
It is me! DAMN IT!!!:D

[supa-roo]

Gonna have to agree here
I've only been around here a short time but it's gotta be the best bunch I've had the pleasure of annoying.

[smokey_dj]

asi said to wayno last night ive been a mod on another forum that was HUGEEEE but because of a small group say 10=20 ppls it all fell in a heap when they got on there high horses ive seen none of that here and thats why i remain even though i too have only been here a short time (bit over a month) i see no reason why id be leaving anytime soon if at all
some of you guys have jsut had a kind word to say at the most appropriate times and been there for a bloke whos been down a lil
and support around here my god ive never seen so much on a public forum EVER!! there are so many ppls like me who would bend over backwards for another its incredible and ill bet any of those ppl out in the real world have been done and dusted making those sorts of gestures to even ppl they have called friends in the past
ill wrap it up now but all i can say is im glad im apart of this place been welcomed so friendly to it and see no "group" control over it
look forward to actually meeting some of you guys in the future too if anyone ever wants to organise something or what not
cheers

No worries.
I might not always write something, but I'll lend an ear to listen.
Never know when you need a hand these days.

Its funny how this place gets under your skin. I was away for three days & it was the first thing I turned to when I got home. Must be the people. Its funny when you tell civilians about your model car forum, they look at you like your on drugs. I just tell them its like facebook for petrolheads ;):D

David

[HQGTS74]

I love this place, it's the first thing i jump onto when i come home from school. Always great to see what's going on in the model world and to have a good laugh.:D;)

Couldnt agree with you more David. Wife refers to it as Car Porn:D
I have also been helped by people on this forum, i supose with so many people on here there is bound to be someone else who has, or had, the same problems as you have.
Most recently i have to thank you David and your wife for supplying us with good info on our current problem. Cheers mate;)

Is there a need to tell? I have a room full of models that many visitors to my house never see because I know I will get stupid looks or comments, we all know who the fans are and show them only. Facebook for petrol heads! .....amusing :)

[grease]

I think that a majority of the members on this forum are willing to help other members if they can, like smokey_dj helped me get to Winton for the test day, we all help each other out in our own little without realising it.

[wayno]

Mate, caught up with smokey at the test day and had a ball. We are very lucky to have good members here. It's like no-where else I've visited.

[grease]

Yes I also met Bruce there but never got around to visiting you as I was around the pits getting signatures.

[smokey_dj]

And there's a little guy standin at the counter of the model shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day
They always just drive by his shop

[Kashmir]

Nice to see Biante staff on this forum alot lately and participating:)
Thanks Biante staff.
Cheers

[Chris Roche]

Thank guys - hoping to be of more help.

[grease]

They have been on it a fair bit latley and it shows that they are taking onboard a lot of the comments as their posts dont always say the same thing, not cut and paste replies like other forums that a few people have seen!

Good on you Biante

[8hype]

[quote=grease;322154]They have been on it a fair bit latley]
what a job at work and on the net.:plol.it is good to see them on here.they have helped me out.special thanks to richard poole.much appreciated mate.

[john]

This is one of the best forums on the internet I have ever come across.

[Oh Five]

Had a good weekend. Met up with Karromar for the first time, who flew over from W.A on Friday for the Haw/Ess match as he had 3 spare seats for me and the kids. I Wont talk about the game:(
After the match we drove back to our place and had a good Saturday chatting, looking around, "coffee ing" and watching footy sat night and checking our dreamteams:).

We came into contact through these forums and formed an email/phone freindship.
Tim now knows he (and his family) are welcome over here anytime and vice versa.
Good place this.:)

[Holdennumber1]

Sounds like you had a great weekend Bruce. Pity about the Hawks game for you, I reckon they'll struggle to make the 8 this year. It was a game they should have won, but Essendon seemed to take risks and attack the game more and it worked for them.
And Tim, stop winning with your dreamteams.:p I think your smashing me with 1 match to go.:(
Cheers,
Thomas

[Road Runner 72]

Bruce, so good to hear you had a good weekend with a good buddy thx to this place, I have a few and always look forward to catching up with my Biante buds again.

[Oh Five]

Thanks mike, yep have formed a few good friendships over the years on here (probably a cuppla enemies too:D)
Yes Thomas your name was mentioned a few times over the 2 nights Tim was here, in regard to the dreamteams.:grin:

[VE II]

Does any one know if Bert (ferrari_fan) is still around or if he's still doing decals?

[VP_VIXEN]

I think that a majority of the members on this forum are willing to help other members if they can, like smokey_dj helped me get to Winton for the test day, we all help each other out in our own little without realising it.


Well you did get us into Sandown for free so you did us a favor too :D
