Think the only ones I remember are:
"Happy Birthday" threads.
Forum Calenders and the voting.
The scammer RyanGTI.
The time the scammer got a visit.
R-Tech
And the family feel...
Havent been in VAG scene for a great deal of years, probably about 7years and a couple less on this forum maybe.
Dont think r-tech have quietened down though. Might not post as much now though, but still hte most popular vag tuner.
