debating the idea of starting a W114 and W115 forum

Even though I hated running the W108 forum due to spammers (although I swore I would bring it back up this year).

What are your thoughts?

I think it would be great! Seems like there are still a lot of active Stroke 8 owners on this forum and other forums that would most likely be interested.

I have one that I'll start driving when the weather warms up enough for me to pull it out of storage and start work!

Right, my motivation right now is that I have four /8 models, I'm about to start working on them so would like to document some of the work. I'm sure that i'll have lots of questions and hope that i'll be able to answer some.

I'll put some effort into it this weekend.

I've got Wilma and I've bought member Wolf Walkers '73 280 and I'm awaiting its arrival. I'd like a 114 115 forum.

I don't get over here much, but I still have a 114 that should be back in service in a few weeks (I started taking it apart to replace heater core and blower fan a few months ago and the job sort of snow-balled), but I'd definitely come if you start a 114/115 group.

I have a 114 that I need to get out and start working on. I'm all for it and I hope I can contribute with whatever I can.

So far we have a sample home page, forum and gallery
http://stroke8.org/
http://stroke8.org/forum
http://stroke8.org/gallery

I need to evaluate some nice html editors/website creators. I don't want to go through the effort of writing my own so if I can find one with a nice template, things will move nice and fast.
