Kinda miss his shorthand posts, haven't seen one since May 18 2020.
Anyone know ?

 

I miss many of the old timers that seemed to just vanish into thin air without a good by.

 

Maybe someone had a 'Good Buy', and he moved on to another chapter?


.

 

Isn't that the truth
Sometimes I look back at popular threads from years ago and scroll through the many post to see the screen names of so many regulars that have moved on
Some have migrated over to Facebook but many are just no longer in contact

 

Some had health issues, some got bored I guess with the same old same old.
I miss JHM2K and John (BoilerUpFire) from Indy. Both were contributors of merit, no wonderful words from wacky Wiki from them.
Many more missed for their insight and wisdom, they did the hard slogging in the trenches.
We must not forget magnesium man who probably went out in a white flash.

 

I forgot about him ! Wasn't his forum name arado ?

 

Yes that was "Arado"

 

And don't forget maxcichon - we still speak occasionally ......

 

Mike-In-Orange had a lot of info all the time on detailing and finishes. He just dropped of the map sadly.

 

Mike was killed in a hunting accident about 5 years ago.

spoke to padgett this morning he is good,,, gave his car to a in need person but he is doing fine he is thinking of getting another crossfire 6 speed.

 

I recall MikeR was sadly killed in a hunting accident. I hadn’t heard about Mike in Orange.

 

OH crap i just killed off mike in orange I really read that one fast it was mike r that was killed in a hunting act. mike in orange i don't know about. my bad..

 

I'm still here ,just don't check in as much , still have our Crossfire , we put it up for sale last fall but decided to keep it , going on 16 years with it , Talk with John in Indy, he fine still has his Crossfire , he was going to try to be at fall meet but didn't make it ,

 

And he sprayed some type of oil on everything he owned.

 

Another early contributor and racer I wonder about is MMZ_TimeLord. He did a lot for this site and us crossfire owners.

 

WaxOil and magnesium sounds like a deadly combination.
He had a Triumph Tiger as well.

 

Nothing, still around, just gave my Crossfire to a relative and have a pair of SLKs now. Do miss the Coupe but am out of garage space.

 

Well good !
Just occurred to me a few days back that I hadn't seen anything from you in quite a while.

 

Glad you still check in.

 

I am just a new timer here but I’ve been scouring the forums since acquiring a 2004 coupe in September. It is sad to see how many once active members have disappeared. They are a valuable resource for new members like me who still have a lot to figure out. Fortunately, many are still around and have been very helpful.
