It's not 07H473........it's 07H423

I am wondering if you need to do a restart?

If by "restart", you mean log off the forum then sign in.....yes, did that several times. Even looked back to see if the  name was still on the ignor list...it is.

I tried implementing the suggestion by S2MS in Post #68 for "ignoring" posts by individuals. I must have done something wrong as our man from Florida's posts keep appearing.

What did I do wrong?

Thanx

Frank


........from another graybeard.......I also followed the directions and nothing has changed.

Add me to the list supporting the removal of post counts. Any effort that might eliminate those spectacularly absurd posts is clearly a step in the right direction.

The Lounge / Re: Should "The Lounge" be killed off?

The lounge is not a problem , it's people posting useless crap on it maybe only to increase their post numbers ???



+2. Amen, brother.



+3, double Amen and I'll even throw in a Hallelujah. That's a spot on observation of all that's wrong with the current Lounge.

I agree....keep "The Lounge"...but as stated above, perhaps with stricter guidelines. One new "reg" I would definitely support is if you post in the lounge, you cannot place the same post in any other topic...or vice-versa... NO DUPLICATE POSTS

You're a little slow to the show. FLSAAC.....this car has been F/S on their site since April.

If you are referring to the lack of gold stripes and the dealer's misstatement "of 500", I agree, raises questions. But here's what's known....this car, id'd by the vin, was a wreck, purchased from a salvage yard. Salvage yard photos show the GT-H embroidered seats and floor mats, but more importantly, shows the Shelby dash plaque csm 22H0101 and the salvage yard's description lists the car as rental.  (Oddly, salvage yard photos also show no stripes). This car (by vin number) was part of a group of GT-Hs  registered in California.  A call and email to the Texas dealer a few weeks back has failed to get any reply.
Hope this helps......

The Lounge / Re: Did FL SAAC get eaten by a shark?
« on: June 01, 2023, 03:42:37 PM »
This morning, when logging on to the forum, I ran smack into the realization that “all good things must come to an end”. The much enjoyed peace and quiet…the tranquility of the past 10+ days…was shattered by an over the top, in your face display of the mindless drivel once again. A sad reminder the gibberish has returned.

  Nearly everyone who spent time around Bob comes away with a story, forever etched in their minds. My story involves one of those events referred to above by 66 Hertz, "he put EVERY ONE of his race cars on its roof at Lime Rock..." I'm not sure he actually raced this particular car but it definitely checks the "on it's roof" box.
  It was back in the early 90s, a year or so after I purchased my Shelby. I was itching to try my hand at track action so Bob invited me to an open track day at Lime Rock and offered to be my instructor. To make sure I would get the most enjoyment from my first time on a race track, he insisted my first outing that day should be riding with him in his car (Mustang SVO) to get a feel for the track and see the correct line. Near the end of the initial warm up lap, as we passed under the bridge approaching the final corner before the front straight and green flag, Bob had already slowed enough to allow the cars in front to pull away. As we came down the slight downhill and entered the righthander, he put the pedal to the floor. He would later admit he was off line. (It should be noted here that the phrase "never lift" was not in Bob's vocabulary. It's defined as keeping one's foot firmly planted on the accelerator pedal with complete disregard to the possible outcome. It can often end with catastrophic results, but with proper execution has been known to create legends.) Clearly, we did NOT create legends that day.
  We exited the corner with both left side wheels off the pavement. With Bob's philosophy of "never lift" at play, he attempted to get all 4 wheels back on the pavement. What happened next is a combination of my sensations (my eyes were closed) and what spectators saw. The car swerved violently to the right, did a couple 360s, went off the pavement to the infield side sliding and spinning on the grass and then hit the tire retaining wall trunk first....estimated at 50-ish MPH. The impact with the tire wall propelled the car into the air. While in the air, it turned over and crashed to the ground squarely on it's roof, crushing the roof nearly to the doors. Thankfully, neither Bob nor I received serious injuries. Both seats broke on impact with the tire wall so we were in a  horizontal position as the car came down on the roof. We were both conscious and heard the thunder of feet on the ground as many folks were running to lend assistance. Later in the day we joked about hearing comments, as folks reached the car, like "look and see if they're ok".."no, you look".."no, I don't want to,you look"..No, you". Moments later the EMTs and track staff were there prying the doors open and gently pulling us free. We were checked out at the Infield Care Center and aside from a few scratches and assorted bruises, we were fine. The car..not so much. Need less to say, that was the end of our track activities for that day. And as testimony to Bob's abilities, he totally restored that car.

I've known Bob for over 40 years. We met when I joined a local Mustang Club and it was he who got me to join SAAC and attend the annual conventions. At those early conventions, passengers were allowed during the open track events and he made sure the passenger seat in his 66 GT350H was reserved for me. It was during those countless laps, as I hung on for dear life, that I decided I wanted to be the one behind the wheel...which led to my own 66 GT350H.
Thanks Bob, for helping create all those wonderful memories...you'll be missed my friend. RIP
