Wonder what ever happened to Scarecrow?  He had that beautiful blue Factory Five 427SC Cobra.  One of the coolest cars ever on the Forum imo.  8)  I got thinking about Cobras for some reason while out walking the dog tonight and reminded me of him.

I had no idea he had that. Really, really cool!

^I believe it was Dr. Spock that lost his son. Terrible.

It would be great to see Sir O, searhard, and Northernridge back. Not likely but would be nice. All three are Manitobans now I Believe?

Missing Persons

Well, we are not all missing, at least not totally gone forever. I read the recent posts on here weekly, but find I have little to say about cars et al these days.

But, as to real missing persons, I see many of the "old gang" but notably absent are Johngenx, Snowman and Wing. Now I think I know that Snowman passed some time ago, cancer IFICC. But Johngenx has been absent almost a year now; and Wing several months.

Just curious.

No news here really, same old Covid shuffle..........low profile, Netflix, read books. etc. etc.

Seventeen months to go on my 2018 BMW 340i MPerformance Edition. No idea what happens then............I will be 78 then, and not as involved in autos as I was formerly.

Anyway, Cheers, and carry on.

From one absentee member to another: it's nice to hear from you ovr50!

I'll add one more thing to your list:  work.  I'm still at the daily grind but most likely not for long.  Time for a change.

dirtyjeffer?

He's been in and out for a while.  Took a break for a while, came back, and hasn't been seen for a while again.  Needs to stay out of the political section.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Yeah, dj. I was curious how he likes his all-weather tires, given London's snow belt location.

He's in Florida, been there since mid-December, heard from him on Monday actually. Heard from NoSan that same day as well about a case he's working on.

SE was banned IIRC for excessive use of trolling, no surprise there.

Surprised reading Saf was banned though - always thought something had ticked him off. Here's to Saf:  :banana: :banana: :bang: :bounce: :banana:

Wasn't Saf a racist too? I remember a post or two of his back in the day that put me off this place for a while.

I don't claim to have read everything he posted, but if racist stuff was posted, banning was the appropriate move.

His posts could have been interpreted in many ways, hard to tell what he was trying to convey sometimes.   Can't remember specifically what got him kicked off  :think:
