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!)

This forum is very quiet these days? Going to the National Meet I do enjoy. Local car shows have gone to the dogs anymore. All Street Rods around here. I do enjoy the Glidden Tour in the fall. 1942 or older can go on it. The aaca has nice tours. I want to go on the clubs tour now. Have not done that yet but will. Trying to talk my wife in letting me get a 32. No luck so far. In the past she always gives in. I had a dream we got a 32 3 window and drove it home. Nice dream and hated to wake up.

If local cars shows dont interest you, and you like to drive your Ford (or Mercury or Lincoln), then the National Club has something for you. September 7 will be the start of this years National Tour. It starts in Marquette Michigan and traces Henry Ford's impact on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Registration information is available from the main webpage - National/International Meets. Read about it, fill out the form and enjoy touring in your Ford (or Mercury or Lincoln) with others Early Ford V-8 Club members. Two lane is the best lane in Michigan.

Tony, hoping to see you and your car at the CNM. I am especially interested in seeing how that air cleaner looks on your car

efv8, the UP tour sounds nice. About 650 miles of driving. If I had not toured that same area last year, on the way back from the GNM in Lake Tahoe, I may have been up for that tour this year. Some V8er's talk about all the touring they do, but actually only drive their cars from the garage and onto a trailer, do a show, and then it's back in the trailer to head for home

. In my opinion, the real fun of owning these old Fords is in driving them.

Understand it well JM. While not the cross country tour person the 49 has been owned for 18 years now and has 18,000 additional miles on it. It's been to Branson twice, Dearborn, Auburn four times, and Kansas City, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, Brainerd, Omaha, Liberty, and Winona.
Only casualty was a rear wheel bearing and Hagerty got me home.
Springfield is next on the list.
Not everyone was as lucky as you, so for those that have only read about the Upper Peninsula we are offering the opportunity to experience the area. And see a few collections that are not always open to the public.
My registration is one step away from the mailbox.
