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!)

Hi JM, Sorry for the long wait for my reply.

Yes, I did the battlefield photos on Friday, the day after the meet. Luckily I didn't have to be back home until Saturday morning.

As I'm writing this, we're loading up for Springfield, and I think you're already on the road!

Jeff, I have found quite a few of the pictures I took in that group. I wish those banquet pictures I took with my Tablet had been a little sharper. Did you do the battlefield tour on Friday? If I hadn't been heading to OC on Friday, I would have taken the time to visit the battlefields. Looking forward to driving to Springfield for the CNM next month.

Jeff, I signed up for the life membership to the Foundation and like you I hope others will support it. I recently sent them 72 gear shift knobs from the meets to help them complete their collection. The ones they don't use can be sold to help the cash flow.

Hi Tom, Thanks for helping our club. I didn't take all the photos a lot of others contributed, just like it was with the rest of the meet.

I sure had fun in Tahoe! And Gettysburg. Next up Springfield. I'll be there with bells on!

PS. If you see something you like, renew your membership and/or help out the V8 Foundation.

PPS. I love the home page shot from Hiawassee. I stood in that spot just to get some shade on Concourse Day. Good fun had by all!

Jeff , thanks for the photos. Looked like a great meet and sorry I could not attend. Without great volunteers these meets would not happen. People who have never worked on a meet have no idea the amount of work it takes to put on a meet. Kudos to each and every volunteer who helped with this great event.

Hello to all the V8 Club Members! Let's start a conversation. Please add a reply.

I'll begin... Here's a link to the Facebook page for RG36. The Regional Group who hosted the recent Eastern National Meet. You will find hundreds and hundreds of photos from the meet. If you can't find something to drool over, you didn't look closely enough!

(Full disclosure, I'm an RG36 member and a few of these photos are mine. Some came from member contributions other than myself.)

https://www.facebook.com/ncr36

Thanks to everyone who attended. There were a lot of stunning cars.

My judging team inspected a pair of '36 3w's (one trunk, one rumble) and a Trunk Back Fordor. Tough work I'll tell ya! I'm pretty sure all three got their first Dearborn. Looking from underneath I didn't see much wrong.

Special thanks to RG36 and for making these photos available.

Thanks also to all the people who contributed time and effort to make this event, what I consider, a HUGE SUCCESS.

A special thanks to the Wilmer clan including three generations and six bodies that were ticking off 50+ man-hours each day including both the day before and after the meet! At the direction of their Mom and Dad, Andrew and Todd worked the golf carts the whole meet. If you were there, you saw them at least 25 times, they might have even loaded your luggage or given you a cold water! Great job fellas, you're honorable gentlemen!

Please enjoy the photos.
