This forum has ended. Many regulars gone. Bestbif luck and I mean that sincerely, to the KFOCI group in these challenging times. Lots of friends here, and a couple who dont like me like M Fleming, but overall it was the knowledge and history shared that I enjoyed. Loved the "pickup " thread and wish i could have bought that, would have loved a couple of Rudys cars, like the leather trimmed 48 Manhattan, and picked up a Dragon to restore but i no longer am motivated to spend the time and money. Still, enjoyed it. And this forum, now dead, was my link. I joined a total of years in the past 14 or so. Not enough to be considered a club member. Only club member i met was Rudy Phillips. Never went to a meet.
Seems like the politics are intense here, for reasons I don't understand.
Like Roadmaster49, I enjoy reading the history and the mechanical side of things. Learning the nuances of different problems and the solutions has been invaluable. Yes, there is a camaraderie between most posters that some just can't understand.
The only meet I ever attended was several years ago in Brookpark/Middleburg Hts Ohio. Although I tried to converse with a couple of those in charge, their minds were occupied on other things. I felt ignored.
I guess it's my fault for not more heavily pursuing interactions. At the time, I had two young children to attend to.
Kory Fox says: "I still check this forum multiple times every day. I wish I was more knowledgeable so I could help others but I am one who needs a lot of help to get my car back on the road and maintained after it is back on the road."
That fits me to a T. I am quickly checking in and out, hoping to glean some information or news.
I have a '48 and a '51 Kaiser; both are non-runners.
I have hopes of getting them out of my barn and operational again, but at this point it is wishful thinking.
Physically and time-wise, i find I just can't work on cars very much.
Life goes on.........
