This is a pretty good site.  Not as nice as NATO...but nicer than TF.

NATO is DEAD 95% of the time, not much point in visiting there unless you are searching for TC or 2.3T specific info.

This place has a nicer forum layout, and is a much more active site.

:cool:Hey Derik, I forgot to say welcome back! Always nice to see another Derik. Not often do I see our name spelled the same way as mine.

Yah NATO is pretty quiet... Less personalities to cause problems.

Besides kinda insane to make a 3600lb w/o driver car fast with a 2.3T.

I had decent luck with the older lighter car....1986 XR7.

Less overall content and tech info for the site, as well. :)

NATO does come alive when someone says 5.0 Turbo Coupe, lol!

A lot of people prefer and turn to Facebook nowadays.  I hate Facebook and prefer the forums.

Of course the NATO site has less overall content and tech info than this site - It's a more specialized site that covers one specific type of T-Bird.

I do not have a Face book account. My wife and i agreed it is to dangerous to do that. I have read issues where bad things have happened to posters. Not only personal but also robbery's ETC. This may not be true but i am not computer savvy about things like that. Can you chime in on that???? Also NATO is a good site for TC info but they are a click forum and if you are not in the click you are out. TF is another forum if you are an outsider you are OUT!!! They do not take a liking to new members. They are real nasty at times and i find this fascinating as they deal with cars that in there best day can make 400 RWH. Nothing to impress many people. But they think that is assume. Just me that is my experience. But then again i can be a real pain in the ass. I learned a lot about sites to late when i was on those sites. Like i said i can be a real pain in the ass. I admit that!!!  :hick::hick:

Both NATO and TF have a couple of sharp guys no question about that. Nato is basically a car club rather than an info site. They have one main guy and TF has a couple of good guys on issues. But the basic forums are very clickie!!



You're shiznittin' us right??? Even after you were banned from those sites, I haven't seen you've learned anything... If I were running the show you wouldn't be here either...

i like this site...and the stright shooting people with solid advice day after day.
how do we contribute to keep it going? didnt know there was a way,, i do know about coolcatsl.net contributions.

two toms in the same yard usually ends in a s : )


i can see the both of you in a competition in a two bay garage.
there is a 4000psi concrete blast wall separating the two bays ~as well as the both of you.....
TC50 is riggin up an am band transmitter paralled with a magnatron encabulator reflectorator that triggers a spike in the Renzo projects radio which is addiitonally designed to backfeed through the radio to smoke check the EEC,  blow all fuses and leave the horn in a constant audible discharge state and pushing the battery directly into thermal runaway.
While TC50 was "all that and a bag of chips", Renzo was core drilling the floor , up and under the TC50 project quickly followed by 208 3phase 5hp motor tied to a shiznit pipe snake driving a greenlee stepper bit right directly into the tc50 project punching right through his floor then the fuse panel, quickly removing the shiznit snake, thus no longer guilty, leaving the stepper bit wedged and strategically placed, something amazing happens.........

the both of you step around the corner and say "hey man, i got this f'ing problem................................."

I still love this sight regardless of it's "problems".  You know how much time, money and headaches have been saved by this site for me?  Too many to count. 
  It does make me ill knowing the ole girl is locked in a storage garage though.  There are world class peeps over here doing amazing stuff.  The big thing now is getting the dash redone to house your Ipad.  If it hasnt been done already, imagine an app to control your cars heater/ac, lights, etc through an Ipad. 
  Perhaps, to revive some comraderie, we should get a poll 0f all members here and try to get Year One, or someone, to start doing repo stuff for us.

Yep i got banned from those sites all right TOM. No question about that. But i am just curious as to what you think about my accomplishments and some of my cars. They are hard facts and  you are correct i did piss off people but i learned the hard way. Anyway i will take what you said as as an indication that either you hate the things i have accomplished or you just dont like ME. Thanks for your true feelings. And yes i have learned the hard way. But sometimes learning takes time as i now realize i was the cause of that and i am sorry for it. But what i do and have accomplished is FACT. Anyone can tell by reading my posts knows i did not fall off a TURNIP TRUCK LAST NIGHT. Been doing this all my life not only as a business owner as a car builder. If i have offended you i am sorry. And apologize to the forum!!!




After your chest beating and abrasive posts on NATO & here I've never paid any attention to what vehicles you own, other than the TC and I believe Syclone?, don't have a clue(and can't tell you anything about either)... You spent a large portion of the last couple years on my ignore list(the only one ever)...

Anyway not all of us are impressed with your signature, I've always spent my money more wisely, at least IMHO(allowed me to retire eight years ago at age 55)... I haven't worked a money making job since which was exactly the plan... Now there is plenty of free time to do what I want and enjoy the twin grand-kids that were born less than a year after my retirement... One thing for sure, life isn't all about me and my accomplishments...

Above said, I commend your tech assistance in the recent TC brake issue thread, MAYBE you are finally realizing it isn't necessary to run over others with a my way or no way attitude...

I honestly want to know why you want us to hold you on some pedestal. There are people who HAVE done more then you in the car world believe it or not.

I spent 26+ years at a place that employed over 10,000 people. I spent most of that time watching people with families who never seemed to want to go home. I always wondered who if anyone was raising their children. They would spend 12 hour days 7 days a week because they seemed to believe that their job made them who they are. They all seemed to think that some day they would be remembered by all as the "Best" or "Great" **** of all time. What I saw was they would never retire to enjoy what life they had left or if they did retire they would die within a short time because they never knew how to really enjoy life. All I ever heard anyone say about them after they were gone was "Gee that's too bad". With in a very short time you never heard people talk about them anymore. Sad thing is Zombies really do exist.
