In March of 2005, Mike contacted me and asked if I was interested in getting together and starting a new site. At that time we really didn't think we were going to use the forum section but soon realized if we didn't use it, there wouldn't be a way of members asking questions about the part photos or drawings.

Not sure how long it took for the first 1,000 members but it took awhile for people to find our new site. After that, the site really took off as you can see. Take a look at this post for some of the more recent history. Link
