At the far left of our Banner is a bright headlight,, and if you can tear your eyes away from those fabulous fenders, there's a little sign that says

G'day All, I can remember a long time ago (sounds like a story doesn't it!!) when Ross Carswell former web manager of REMLR told me about this site.
Well I have to be honest, it took forever to load, the pictures looked like Land Rovers made out of build-a-brix, and most times it dropped out of sight (not anyones fault) dial up internet service, it has come a long way and it is a credit to Dave, cheers Dennis

[spudboy]

I think it's the best LR forum anywhere. Good mix of topics (both on and off the subject of Land Rovers) and good moderation.

Dial up .... hmmm, yep I remember those days

[harry]

pedro, you and i were there within a couple of days or so of inc setting it up way back then,
i didn't think it was that far back.

after a couple of attacks and major rebuilds, we now enjoy dave's hard work getting it to what it is today.

not sure now, but i think i was member no 5, you might have been seven,
or were you here before me?

not that it matters.

when was aulro's birthday?

[weeds]

a quick search shows me threads started in 2003.....

maybe some data has been lost

[harry]

yep kelvin,
the beginning was lost altogether, in a savage attack in which inc had to wipe it all and start again,
from memory, inc emailed us all to give us the new site's address, and away we went.

if you go to the newsletters page you can find edition no.1, with some notable early members mentioned,
bigbugga, discowhite, pheonix, fernoculated, incisor, and others.

Inc announced he was going to set up a message board on the old AULRO email list way back then.
I remember Inc, Ron and David Read from SA and moi were members of that old email list, sorry, can't recall who else, too many glasses of red tonight

I remember becoming a member straight away but geeze it was quiet back then, I spent most all my time on the old LRE board and when I did come back I couldn't get back in as poor Dave had a few server crashes

am pretty certain it was in october 2001 that i first started putting it together on a 64k isdn link to a box under my desk...

it came and went a few times before taking off in earnest in 2002
