Sorry guys, apparently the hosting company suspended the account due to a large volume of spam mail coming from the board. I'm guessing (since they never responded to any of the 3 tickets I put in starting at 12:55 pm EST today) that it was due to all of the spam registrations and the validation emails that are sent out...but I never got an answer on that....

So, I fixed that problem by suspending registrations, then I deleted the 19 pages of pending new members (all with strange names and foreign email addresses). I went back through to block the search engines from crawling the site and am making a few other changes. So, if anybody wants to register, or has a friend who wants to register, send me an email and I'll build the account manually.

Thanks, and sorry about the time offline.

I heard a rumor it was the Mustang guys from Corner Carvers?

Who's spreading that rumor?

...........UUUMMMMMMMM It was Racerdad916! I talked transmissions with him last night and he threw the Mustang guys under the bus...

In other news Kevin, Billy and I have a tentative plan to rebuild the transmission in my Tahoe one weekend this fall. We're going to need someone to consume beer and supervise while we take an ATF bath.

I figured it was some tree hugger or anti-gun pundit getting back at Kevin for posting an AR15 for sale here......

Yea, I guess this place is a little different in that regard. I pulled the ad since that one went off to a new home already.

I figured since I spend most of my life under the bus, I'd chuck the Mustang guys under for a change of pace..... they can have my reserved spot....
In other, other news, I'm not a mechanic, but I play one on TV. Yesterday, I couldn't even spell transmission....
I thought the plan was to consume ATF and take a beer bath....... dang Ford guys....

That sounds like the last few 700-R4 rebuilds I've done...

I"m CERTAIN I'd rather drink ATF than bathe in it. That stuff gets everywhere! Sounds like fun!!
