    Default GRRRR8.net passes 5 years on the web

    A lot has happened since Aug 2008. This forum exploded toward the end of 2008 and 2009.
    We found some GRRRR8 vendors to work with us to deliver product that unfortunately was going to run a short production life.
    We have some GRRRR8 members who still find time to help those that ask, and are willing to try a few things they may have never done before.

    I want to thank Charlie and Steve for putting this forum together. I have met many of you guys and being a part of the G8 group has been a blast.


    Short story of how we go here.

    Charlie, George, Tom, Jay, myself were all members of G8Board.
    Charlie had an issue with the way some folks did things, and well voiced his opinion loudly, enough they he got banned from there. Steve got a hold of Charlie and said he would build him a forum. Here we are now, over 500,00 posts and no corporate entity to tell us what we can and cannot do.
    Well, except for the azzhole moderators.

    We hope everyone sticks around, and continues to help this be the place where people go to mod their G8's.

    Don't forget there are two new boards now to check out.

    Thanks for being a part of this.

    Ray
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I learned much about the L76 engine with the purchase of my 2009.5 G8GT in late March 2009, I now have 364 HP and 375 Tq only with bolt-ons only. I blame this Forum!..................John

    It has been GRRRR8 since I joined when I got the Black Rat. All the help from everyone with my past issues and GRRRR8 mods I have had done and the few of you that I have met. What a GRRRR8 bunch of guys.

    Its also refreshing that we can speak our minds and have fun at the same time and not worry to much about a few F bombs flying and no one getting offended.

    All the vendors I have used are all stand up companies and people and products.

    Drive it like you stole it and thank you all!
