7-up Car Lost in Fire
This year at Carlisle we again saw Nick P. who, while not a member of this site, has joined us the past three years with his ’90 7-up. He informed us that he lost it in a garage fire earlier this year. He mentioned that it was on the...
The New 2011 Mustang V6. 0 to 60 Fast. F to E Slow
I’ve been seeing this commercial every night during the evening news. We usually record the news on our DVR, watch it later in the evening and skip through the commercials. Except for this one. I always stop and watch this in its entirety. Sometimes twice. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh4HE9bNHK4 “Custom vehicles. See...
Five-oh on the five-oh
Late last year I posted that I was almost at 50k miles when I put my car away for the winter. I haven’t driven it much this year but, earlier this month, I went for a ride and thought I would be back well before I hit 50k. It...
TWF Club Sticker

Using twitter
For a little while now I have been updating a twitter stream. A snap shot of it is over on the right to make it easier to watch. It seems like a good way to get out small updates that don’t warrant a full blog post...
The forums are down
Several of you have emailed me to inform me that the forums are down. Thank you. I have been working on getting them back up. I have a situation that I cannot resolve on my own and am awaiting help from my web hosting provider. I have to admit...
Forum changes in the works (mvnforum -> phpbb)
Over the past few weeks I have been spending considerable time on a strategy to upgrade the forums. This was prompted by the increase in bogus forum registrations which were followed by several spam posts under those bogus accounts. This problem was also observed on other sites that use...
Cruise to Carlisle 2010
Joe over at 5pt0joe.com has put together some details on a cruise down to the 2010 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals on June 3, 2010. He has a page devoted to the topic. Joe and I did the drive together last year and it worked out pretty well. His banner graphic,...
