CJF077 The Noble Leader Administrator 4,786 Member For: 22y 4m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Australia Posted 24/12/03 10:25 AM Share Posted 24/12/03 10:25 AM Merry Christmas :festive: Well, this year has been a very big year for myself personally, as well for the site. Ups and downs, tears and joy. The hardest thing for myself this year was the loss of my grandfather in March, and this year spending it without him at xmas time for the very first time. I miss him dearly. Thankyou to everyone who offered support to me during this period.As for the site, we have gone from 277 members as of December 24th 2002, to 3040 members in exactly one year. This i believe shows everyone out there that the XR6 Turbo is the CULT car we all thought it was.I want to personally thank all of you (members, moderators, events organisers, sponsors and anyone else I may have forgotten) for making the site what is is today, without you the site would not be where it is today, and I thankyou for that.I feel quite privileged to have met many of you on cruises, and outings, and value your friendship, and your input into the site.In coming to what I wanted to say...I hope this Christmas brings joy and peace to you and your familes that lasts all through the coming year. Please be safe on our roads, and have a terrific Christmas. The Warmest Wishes,Chris Freeman FordXR6Turbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 2m 15d Posted 24/12/03 11:07 AM Share Posted 24/12/03 11:07 AM Merry Christmas to you too Chris...I am lucky to be in the first 200. This time last year I was three weeks into a four month wait for the car.It was worth it.Christmas can be a hard time as well - when you remember people who were here this time last year and have died in the interim period.This has happened to our family as well and it is a reason to strengthen bonds at this time.Merry Christmas all.

Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 3m 18d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 24/12/03 10:18 PM Share Posted 24/12/03 10:18 PM Chris,Well said, and here I was thinking I could sneek into "Chit-Chat" and do the same in wishing all a very merry Christmas and a Happy new year. Seriously though, take care out there! I don't want to see ANY of you included on the seasons death toll on the roads. Be safe, have a great Chrismas break, may your families behave themselves and make this a special Christmas for you all to remember.Also.......May 2004 be a great year for us all.And Chris, thank's for the kind words but you also should take a bow for one of the most enjoyable and, hmmm.......Well constructed forum that is far less of an eye sore than a lot of similar forums out there. Lets hope the new server causes you less grief.Looking forward to what you have planned for us in 2004.Now back to Christmas day. Goes something like this, doesn't it.... :festive: :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
