I'm Back

Postby Daz » Sun Sep 16, 2007 1:21 am

Hi you bunch of reprobates :twisted: I'm back :!: did ya miss me :)

right firstly for those who don't know me as i've been off the net for the last year or two i'm using the term reprobates in a jokey way not as a dictionary has it so don't get your panties in a twist thinking some blow-in just ups and startes of insulting people :smt093 (as for the woman reading this the pantie in a twist thing i can help with...if ya know what i mean :wink: :wink: .... see full of humor :smt043 :smt044 )

Ok enough's enough, easy knowing i've been away for awhile. :(
Alright now for the people who do know me......... Alright gang how are we doing. i hope all of you are well, i see you have all been busy as when i logged on tonight was greeted with a sea of orange folders and page after page of orange in each of them folders, needles to say i won't be trying to catch up, it would take too long.

Anyway first for the good news.... well depends on how you look at it :) , i've bought myself a new laptop and a USB 3G Modem so that means i'm going to be back on here regular like, thou mainly at night like now when i'm working, annoying ye all hehe hope you enjoyed the Daz free zone while it lasted............... Now is that good news or bad...hummmmm i'll let you decide that :smt083

Ok now for the really good news, I met up with CJ a few weeks ago to say i'd be back soon, not sure how much he told you but now i'm going to let you get to catch up with news about me.(and the end result is good news) Anyway it's like this i've been very ill lately been in and out of hospital and had several opps was ill before i left ireland 2 years ago but didn't realise how ill untill i went to hospital to fix one problem and they found the others. In a nut shell without boring you all with the details on my first post back, i'm good still have several things wrong with me after all the opps but i'm on med's for these as they are very treatable and will be gone in any time in the next 3 to 12 months well thats what they tell me anyhow.

Anyhow enough depressing medical stuff for now, just wanted to say HI and i'm glad to be back and i can't wait till i get chatting to you all again, and getting to know the new members (thou not that new if they joined say 18 months ago but new to me)

chat soon

Yeah - Its an alright bit of kit - you might still recognise some elements of my FTO but for the most part it looks more like a 350Z. The rear wheel drive conversion was the tough bit along with squeezing in the 3.5l V6 lump. :lol:

I've gone to the dark side too, I am no longer an FTO owner!! I've gone and got a 350Z too......... blame MyFeckinFTO, it was his fault!! :lol:
