I'm always curious to hear from the people that sign up on this forum, so I thought I'd start a thread so new users can tell us a bit about themselves and how they found TAMON.

Guess I should start:

My name is Brayden, I'm 24 and live in Canberra. I've owned an MB for 7 years or so, along with a heap of other Suzuki cars as well.
How did I find TAMON? Well thats an easy one for me to answer, I found it in my brain when the idea came to me one back at Uni. :P
I thought it would be fun to have a forum for people to share ideas and stuff when I got tired of seeing no useful MB sites around. With the help of many other MB owners, TAMON came into existence. :D

Okay, now over to you! :D

G'day, I'm Dave, 24 going 25.
I currently live in London, but when I'm home I'm in Sydney.
I bought my mightyboy back in 2002 (it was the only thing that fit in my garage) for $800.
Since then it's been turbo'd, lowered and sworn at.. but saying that, I miss it heaps and can't wait to whack on the new turbo I've got ready for it not to forget do all the other things I've got lined up in my head.

Hi there. My name is Josh. I'm 21 and currently live in Canberra, working as an audiovisual technician.

I bought my MightyBoy ("Kiki" :keke:) with my de facto at the time in early 2002 as our first car. I had been interested in micro cars from an early age (primarily Minis) and when a Suzuki MightyBoy with a "fully rebuilt" engine came on the market locally for an affordable price, it was both a practical and fun solution for the two of us.

I met Brayden when I encountered YLD-80Y in the car park of the Super Cheap Auto store I worked at in 2002. I left a note under his windscreen and he returned to the store for a chat. Brayden led me to the SuziShop Users Forum which I participated on for a while. Out of mutual frustration at the limitations of the SuziShop Users Forum and the stagnant state of The MightyBoy Club of Australia, I put it to Brayden that we should form ourown chapter in tribute of the cute utes. In no time at all Brayden had a site up and running and a pile of flyers in my glove box and so we began chasing down and leaving flyers under the wipers of every MightyBoy we encountered - and here we are today... :wink:
