I'm so excited
« on: July 19, 2012, 07:38:10 PM »
A few of you will already know me, and if you don't, you soon will.

I am so excited to be in at the start of this new site.

We have the opportunity here to customise it to exactly what we want, with all easy to follow headings.

I suppose it will take some time to get everything settled, but I think by us all pulling together, we can create the best model engine site there is.

I know for certain fact, by looking at my emails, some of the best model makers and website contributors around have already signed up.


So we just need to wish ourselves luck in our new venture.

Hi John  :)

I agree - it's a really nice opportunity!

No need to wish ourselves luck; it'll just take some old-fashioned passion and a bit of work  ;D

Kind regards, Arnold

Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

... and with an embryo crew like this, how can it fail?

John;

Thanks for going to the effort to build this site! And for allowing me to participate.
As for the evolution/development of the site; as they say, "slowly, slowly goes a long way".

Cheers  Garry

Hi there John, as the others say, A big thanks for starting up this place, I only really post on 2 forums, and one of them has suddenly lost all appeal to me, so it's nice to have this place to post up my engine projects (when I get my workshop up and running)

Congratulations John!

Thanks for starting up another place to hang our hats. I had thought about doing it after all the dust had settled from the other place, but I really had serious misgivings about it. I'm glad someone chose to go "kick the hornets nest" :)

So glad that you set this up! It looks like we already have critical mass (enough folks signing up), which is great!

May the forum flourish!
