The forum is 10 years old today.
I can't understand where the time went. In 1999, golfgti.co.uk went live as a list of useful VW links. It was something for a VW and IT nerd to do with his spare time. I started getting lots of email, from people searching for car parts, looking for info about their (almost new!) mk3 GTI's, selling their car, or, more obviously, just wanting to chat to fellow enthusiasts. Car forum's were thin on the ground back then but the one now known as golfgtiforum.co.uk went live on 6th May 2002. I wondered what would happen next. I had no promotion plan. No strategy to target other forums to chase members from. Slowly it built. Internet friendships evolved - some people I have still never met in real life and perhaps never will. I have attended so many VW shows, made real friends, got drunk in a field plenty of times. The community sprit of this place keeps it all alive, that's why 10 years have passed so quickly. If you have made a positive contribution along the way - thanks.
