10 yrs of TDR Website!

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

I think this kinda went by unnoticed but this website passed its 10 year anniversary a couple weeks ago. Sure has grown from the handful of people who came over from the Cummins Diesel Website when Rob Spading got this website up and running. There was a whopping 15-20 members when I signed on here. It's been fun to see the membership grow, changes take place and website upgrades occur over the years. Lots of folks have come and gone but there's a few of us "originals" still kicking around here :-laf



Congrats on 10 years of TD Roundtable, looking forward to the next 10 years

Best spent 30-some bucks that I put out every year. Only complaint that I have is that I didn't get my 2009 member sticker that was supposed to be in issue # uh, ergh, 2 ago.

What ever happened to Rob?

 

[Missouri Mule]

I joined in 2000. I was computer illiterate my older sister(very computer literate) set up an E-mail box then asked where did I want to go on the internet. I grapped a TDR magazine and told her I wanted to go the Turbo Diesel Register web site. She helped me sign up and do my signature.

Now I can even post photos by my self and since she lives far away I don't have her standing behind making sure I have the sentence structure right.

What ever happened to Rob?

He left and started DieselRam.com around 2000-2001 or so. According to stats on that site he hasn't posted since 2007 but it says he logged in 3 days ago DieselRam.com - View Profile: Rob Spading

Hey seemore how are things in Cuyahoga land these days? The Medina pizza night was a lot of fun that night.

I'm not sure how that slipped by but CONGRATS on a great website. We've learned so much and our questions have always been answered. Here's to another 10 years!!!!! Diana

 

[Lurch]

Sure have been a lot of characters come and go over the years.

 

[Ross]

Still crazy after all these years... ...

 

[Skydiver]

We still here after all these years.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

It's been quite the ride. I came along soon after the TDR took over CDW. I was member #402 on the site. Good to see so many of the old guys still around. I was at the Scheid event and saw a couple in person - David Lovell and Eric Pitts. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago that I signed up on the site and nearly 8 years since I took over as webmaster. You guys remember all the server problems we had back in 2001? Man was that an ugly period of growth for us!! Here's to another 10 years!!

 

[GCroyle]

I'll tip a glass to TDR tonight, looking forward to many more, years that is.



Congrats TDR, Robert, Robin, Brandon and the rest of the behind the scenes team at TDR. Can't forget Steve too.

Vaughn,

Things are going well in Cuyahoga Falls. The black beast just turned 20k at about 3 1/2 years old. :-laf Wish there were get more togethers. I did enjoy our meeting up. Hard to believe the distance between us & the chance to meet people with the same interests.

How's things in the Pacific NW? Have you had any more out of town training for work?

When was the TDR its self started? I can't remember. I know I first heard about it in a '96, in '97 model year Ram brochure I got at the Farm Progress Show.

How little did I know that my first Ram WOULD be a '97 that I bought in 11/01.
