Re: cameraderie
In my early life I never took many pictures, my wife took family pics and that's about it. Unfortunately I never took pics of my cars or raceses or anything else for that matter. I only got started when I wrote my book, I have a small Digital camera that worls fine. On a months trip with Rumble seat, I took 900 pics. Haven't seen all of them yet either.

Re: cameraderie
I like the fact that Ryan doesn't tolerate bullying. Something that was all too present on the old board.

Re: cameraderie
I visited the Barn Trevor but it was, let's just say, not very user friendly. I am also on the Early Ford V8 Club site under the same name.
Friends of mine tell me the wine from Marlborough is very good. |

Re: cameraderie
No offence intended here, but it's boring around this site. I don't know if it's the cumbersom format or what, but I just can't get too excited about it. You know?
I look at the posts and sometimes try to get a rise or a chuckle and it's like were all kinda dead. Maybe everything has already been said about old Fords that is to be said and the bitching and name calling over at hamb is just to get people to tune in. Jeese, how many more posts about what is the best way to clean WW tires can we handle? Kinda like the Stepford wifes talking about tips on cleaning the kitchen floor. Tell me I'm wrong! What is it?...slim |

Re: cameraderie
It's kinda like when they redecorated the diner. Nothing changed except the vinyl on the stools. Same menu, same food, same service but those seats just didn't sit right for a while. Give it time, guys and quit picking at the new upholstery. dw

Re: cameraderie
Maybe part of the perceived problem is the segregation. I love it. I'm not into the Model T or the Model A that much unless it's a hot rod. '32-48, stock, hot rod, junk, pristine, I don't care. Love them. But I can see where it would look like a lot less is going on with the segregation.
Post more stuff if you think the site is boring. Start a thread on how you rebuilt your 3 speed. Or how you put a Columbia in your '39. Or how you found that '40 Merc in a junkyard? Take advantage of the new photo capabilities and post pics along with the tech how to. A message board is only as good as the members and their contributions. If David/Mass left before, then why? See if he will consider coming back. Like I have posted before, I LOVE the reformat of the Barn, which is why I post regularly now instead of when I have a problem/question or when I'm buying/selling.

Re: cameraderie
I only lurked here before the revision. It seemed like an untapped resource of knowledge. (I say untapped because a lot of the threads were difficult to read/search for.) There's a lot of knowledge here that I'd love to see shared with the next generation. I'm 29 and just learning about Flatheads. Please consider us, and we'll listen.

Re: cameraderie
THIS is why threads about so called "old boring/repetitive/mundane/whatever subjects" (e.g. cleaning W/W, but many others as well) have meaning. When you're green you grow.....when you're ripe you rot. Young blood is good for our hobby and should be encouraged.

Re: cameraderie
I've been posting and lurking on the Barn since 2004. I've met some great people and read some pretty nasty rants. The only thing that has changed is the format and some of the original crew are no longer here.
In time things will settle down, there will be fights about water pumps and politics. I can remember lots of disscusions that had nothing to do with Fords, like mice and Clem Clements where abouts I liked the old Barn, and I like the new one AKA Scott/CT

In Ryan's world there are very strick rules regarding discussions on politics or religion. Rightly so those posts/replies are deleted immediately.

Re: cameraderie
I'm new to the Ford Barn. Never knew about the old one. I came from the Hamb. I really like being able to talk about something or ask about something, here, without being slammed around by A** H#@&s.
I love these old cars, and have friends that do too. My Dad drove, raced, etc. flatheads "in the day" He's gone now, so this is where I go to learn and share some of what I know. Keep talking and teaching. Invite new and/or young folks in and take care of them. Things will keep going and won't be "boring or stale" to any of us. And we can know that we are spreading this really great information and making a difference, in this world anyway. Thanks for all the good stuff here. Sorry I didn't know the old place. Hugh
