Dear Fans of OCTC,

Sorry for the delay. But with Chinese New Year in full swing and settling down taking longer than expected i couldn’t get this post up sooner. Apologies again.

Why is OCTC merging? With the need to serve full time National Service and other commitments there has not been much time to maintain and update the website.  The move will give me more time to write (as there will be less time wasted on website maintenance). I’m most grateful to Adam for letting me have a place to write on 7Tune.com. Without which i would probably be going crazy.

OCTC hasn’t been around for very long, since April 2010. But in the space of those short months, thanks in no small part to you, OCTC has reached close to 2000 fans. And there have been many high points, including being next to the track at World Time Attack Challenge  getting whiffs of the intoxicating smell of burnt rubber. Interviewing so many varied people and knowing what ignited their passion of cars. And finally knowing that so many people enjoy going through OCTC and for that i thank you :)

Thank you once again for making OCTC what it was and i hope to catch you at 7Tune.com :D

Yes i am Mr Spastic :D
