Thanks for the e-mail note, about what was happening to the forum.

Roy:

I'm just glad this didn't go down in the middle of a repair. I would have been hopelessly lost.

Naaaa

You would have been on the phone to me.

I am overloaded during the day, with 1950's, 1960's and 1970's cars getting ready for the http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com

We are expecting roughly 38,000 classic and antique cars on Saturday August 21 2004.

At this point getting a car ready is an emergency.

Well, apparently, there was some warning:

Nevertheless, thanks webmasters for taking such good care of our precious data and getting it all over to a new home.

Whunter, it looks like my brother is going to be at the cruise in his 46 Ford Super Deluxe....

I tried to get him to pop in to visit with you (personally I'd like to see him network with some shop owners/hiring personnel, he needs to leave his tranny shop and get a job that pays) but as soon as I told him "Mercedes" well.....suffice it to say that we know who got the brains in the family and who got the tranny pulling muscle....

If you see a 46 ford being operated by a 44 year old kid....well that's probably him....forgive him....he knows not what he does....

Enjoy my birthday out there on Woodward....!!

Netscape still shows the "we're down until the 14th" message, while IE does not.

What gives?

I cleared the cache.
