been around alot longer than 8 years. 
I joined when the old forum started in septemberish 2001 and the club had been around before that in various forms. Wheres Holger and cryohost these days?
I think SST were about in 2000 and I am pretty sure SSC was about before that in various forms so I will take a stab at about 1998/99
Havent seen Mark in person for just over a year now either.

I hope cyrohost has dissapeared into the realms of nothingness it deserves!
As said really, kicked off as a yahoo group, then the old forum, then onto what we have now.

i must have joined quite a while before i got my vtr then. i joined the forum when it started and had been a member of the newsgroup for a little while before that. must have been 9 or 10 years ago then, not 8

The club was originally started by Mark as something completely different, him and a mate wanted to show there cars at Donnington I think and they needed to go in as a club, so they made one up and it went from there
I asked Mark the question back at the Christmas bash in 2008, though it was about 3 in the morning, we were on the spirits and I'd smashed by self to pieces falling down some stairs.
In short, I may be talking bollocks, not Fact

Who was the guy that had the original SST saxo? The posi blue one with the wide arches, 17s, nos, tuned to fook etc? I remember its feature in Revs magazine back in 98/99 and thought that car was the absolute dogs ballocks!

was it Simos?
Im pretty sure he had some work done by SST, and had a blue widish arched saxo. Don't know about the nitrous though. I think Chris pearson also had a blue saxo, but not sure on the mods. Dave Jones had a wide arched saxo with 17's and Nos, but that was black/metal flake, and I think his was magazine featured about 2002ish.
