Way back on, uh, page 372: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/i-need-some-hub-centric-rings-but-cant-find-the-size-i-need/18708/page1/
I go back 305 pages.. plus all the ones lost to the old board since 2008. I'd rather not go back there. lots of political stuff. not my best hour.
nocones said:So I frequently use the Your Posts shortcut to navigate the forum. I generally only use the first 3-4 pages but there are MANY more. Today I noticed that I have 85 pages, and the way the software filters it, it shows pages 1, 2, 3, ... 85. So I clicked on page 85 and opened up my oldest Necrothread. From 12 years ago.
Apparently back 12 years ago there was a bit of a gas crisis and Geo Metro's where selling for up to $8,000.

What is your oldest Necro Thread? Any interesting gems from the wayback machine?
My oldest is in answer to a question about gaining a little more clamping force on a clutch. I think the oldest one I started was also Metro related .
Those boom days fo the Metro turned out to be a crazy time for me. I'd been selling a fair bit of performance stuff for them, but as gas got expensive and the car, which you couldn't previously give away in the states, became popular, I developed an economy cam and cylinder head package. It was so popular I had to hire a guy just to keep up, who turned out to be really smart and built a 75 MPG Metro and developed a few of the parts I'm still selling today.
373 pages of my dribble...
With the oldest "necro-thread" being from Dec 2007 about classic Minis. Which was some 5 1/2 years before I bought one.

As the owner of a 3-cyl. 5-speed ex-Challenger car '99 Metro, you have my attention.

Not the oldest but the most Pete thing to say
Oldest one I started was this one: Am I a wanker if I leave an autocross after running and working? 97 pages and 9 years, 8 months ago.
Duke politely told me that was wankerly (or, maybe he just said he always stays).
