FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

Hi, does anyone have the 1997 Sep/Oct V8 Times
issue I can purchase? I really wanted to read
about the old Ford Admin Building "3000 Schaeffer Rd"
I'd even take a scan or photocopy if you don't want
to break up your collection.

I actually work near Dearborn and visited the empty
lot where the building used to stand, I grabbed a
old brick laying there as a souvenir. Then across
the street where the rotunda used to stand, they
built a school there, but after looking at satellite
pictures of the grounds there is a stretch of grass
that wasn't built on. I walked that stretch and saw
some large cement slabs and even a rusted steel beam
sticking out of the ground a little, some old remnants
of that neat looking old building. It's a shame these
2 great Ford landmarks are gone.

Thanks for any help on the back issue!

-John

if anybody still wants to sell me a copy I'd
still be willing to buy it, just to throw in my
stack of Ford books!
Thanks John

Thanks Mike, it's a great article! There's very
little of this building mentioned in other Ford books.

For a copy of the V-8 Times, check with the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum. They have some extra copies that were donated for fund raising purposes.

http://www.fordv8foundation.org/

Contact Tiffany Miller using the E-Mail address or on the phone number. She will let you know if they have the issue that you are looking for.

If the Foundation does not have a copy you can try this e-mail; v8accessories@gmail.com. This is the e-mail for the V-8 Club and they may have a copy.
