Why I left: had child, had to stop acquiring, got into cars again, thus projects.
Where have I been: raising a child, building a project RX-7 and Lancia Scorpion.
Why did I come back: child can fend for herself (mostly), RX-7 is done, Lancia is almost done. I sold my Eames lounge. Missed it. Bought a couple of aluminum group lounges. Love them. Missed you guys. Came back.
Good to be home.

Hi all. New member here. This was the closest I could find to an 'introduce yourself' thread so thought I'd say hi. I'm based in the UK and am a collector and dealer. I collect British 1950's such as Robin Day, Ernest Race and the Reid's and am also interested in modernist \ brutalist architecture and classic cars of the 1960s. I'll be posting some ID threads and also hopefully I'll be able to help people out with theirs. Best wishes, Sarah
@big-television-man. It would appear I am a member of that "club". I cannot remember when I first joined but in the last few years there have been a number of changes/upgrades, call it what you will and I personally had to "re-register" at some point as my sign-in details did not work .
I did notice at some stage that a lot of the members , including me, were assigned that particular date, following one of the aforementioned events in the recent history of this Forum.

There are other members, like me, who officially joined on 30. November -0001. It certainly feels like eternity, but I'm pretty positive that I am not THAT long around.

@herringbone. "botsh*t; my adaptation of the word "batsh*t, which was the first word that came to mind. ( apologies for using a vulgar/slang phrase)
Balderdash would also do nicely.( a more politically correct word and in my case more ladylike) Mumpitz in German.;

@lexi Did we ever discuss the beautiful German word Mumpitz? How come you know it? In the German version of Sesame Street, the Amazing Mumford is called „der Große Mumpitz“, which is a pretty good name for a bad magician. Anyway, I finally have managed to contact somebody responsible for the forum, and some of the most annoying threads have since disappeared. (Magically). I hope that we also can ged rid of Mr. Flintoff and his colleagues this way.

@herringbone. I just did a Google translate for "balderdash". Mumpitz... such a great word. I will use it from now on.
For example ; what a load of "mumpitz". 😊
