1 year on this forum

66Mustang

I just want to say today I’ve been on the forum a whole year - I got my 1 year anniversary badge today.

Thank you to everyone - the Scope team and all the members alike - for making this such a nice place to be. I’ve been on other forums but genuinely none are as friendly and supportive as this one. I know like anything it has its faults but compared to a lot of the internet it is a fantastic place to be and I think we should be proud of it.

While the position I’m in right now is not enviable, it is far better than it could be. Notably I feel I may not be in the position I am in now if it weren’t for this forum. I’m referring to the help I got with my PIP mandatory reconsideration resulting in me getting a Motability vehicle, which is basically my life, but equally the daily support that I get from being on this forum.

I am looking forward to the next year.

Thanks for reading

wow thats so positive I have been told I can start driving again, I contacted DVLA who we’re super on  the phone. I was pleased to hear I don’t have to do another driving test even though I haven’t driven for over 5 years. They stated they would put the forms in the post to me and 5 weeks on I still haven’t received them, well done unprecedented COVID-19. I would ring them back but I can’t find the number I used, can anyone help please.

That’s great to hear you can drive again!

Hi @66Mustang

Top man, first year in the forum, just lit my hog roast and mates arriving.

Can you please provide a billing address! They eat and drink like it’s gone out of fashion.

Great that you feel comfortable in our community.

Stay kind

66Mustang

@RAwarrior thanks for the kind post. I feel glad knowing I’ve been able to help even just a little bit.

Grinchy

well done on your first anniversary, always enjoy your postings, onwards and upwards to the next one!

66Mustang

@atlas47 thanks for the message. A hog roast sounds great haha. I could relate to your mates eating and drinking like it’s gone out of fashion! I have just about cracked the drinking habit, just need to work on the eating now hahaha.

66Mustang

@Grinchy thank you, I really enjoy your posts too, you are exceptionally talented at your crafts

Grinchy

Cheers @66Mustang, nice of you to say!

I'm a bit late to the party but it's been good to have had you with us for so long @66Mustang. 

I'm glad you've found the community to be so useful to you but equally thankful you've helped so many people here with your continued presence and conversation.

66Mustang

Thank you @Adrian_Scope for the really kind post. I don’t feel as if I am that helpful or knowledgeable to be honest but I am always willing to listen and I guess that’s all somebody needs sometimes

Tori_Scope

Definitely @66Mustang! The power of conversation and being there for people shouldn't be underestimated

Hi @66Mustang

Just throwing you a curved ball here.

Is your username to lead us to believe the you followed Route 66 in a Mustang?

This is what my brother and his wife, along with two other couples did, three years ago

All said mustangs, where in red livery..

They had the time of their lives.

They all wore cowboy hats, throughout the road trip.

“Life on earth is not as we know it Jim”, to quote Dr Spock from the Star Ship Enterprise.

Beam me up Scottie!!!

Hi @atlas47

No it’s just for the year 1966. I like Mustangs including the earliest classic ones. The car came out as model year 1965 so my name maybe should be 65Mustang but 1966 is the first full model year in which they were sold - 1965 Mustangs are quite rare.

(They came out in ‘64 but the American model year for cars is ahead)

Basically I am looking to get my hands on a 66 Mustang one day.

However, that trip sounds amazing and is something I would like to do great job with the cowboy hats too haha! I bet he had a good time.

Chloe_Scope

Happy belated anniversary @66Mustang! I remember when you joined!!!

66Mustang

Thanks @Chloe_Scope I’m definitely in a better place now than when I joined and the forum definitely has something to do with that

Chloe_Scope

Really glad to hear that @66Mustang!
