I got a phone call from Gambit to say that our club website had vanished from the 'other' site...had a looksee, and bugger, it had vanished. Lost without a trace!

Then some lovely 'useless' person let me know that this was up and running, voila, here I is.

Someone (who is no longer a member) told me about it. I'm glad they did, I could count on one hand the number of times since I've been back to the 'old' site, and one of those times was to change my sig there... :hihi:

i found some site called trueblueford.com or something and it had a link to the old site, was there for a while, came back on after being away up the coast. Pub was gone, Bar was gone, and pits were gone... Thinking wtf is going on here, someone else thought the same and asked were the hell every1 went, and someone else posted there on the au site. So added au to the end of the address and been here since...

I was searching for some info on the Australian SVT Cobra and somehow stumbled here... I think I'll stick around, a lot of interesting information here on something we don't have in the states.

I found this site when it was linked from another site www.aufalcon.com. At the time I was talking to that bloke Casper and he seemed like a good guy. So thought, he's not too bad a bloke and if he linked it to his site it can't be that bad either....:hihi:

Lol, I keep seeing my name pop up in this thread :

Well, I was here from the start (member no 29) as I had "inside information" on it happening. Was XRFPV8 that eventually gave me the link in the first hour or so I think.

Was on the old site, moved here. I still go back to the old site to search for information, as the wealth of several years of technical information is very useful, especially since the search function isn't google anymore.
