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. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

Jeff,

You are forgiven. We attribute your post to a combination of sunstroke and nostalgia.

In any event, we all had a great time in Chantilly.

My sincere thanks as well to RG36 and RG96 for a Great Meet! Excellent activities, driving tours and most of all new and positive people to meet as well as very enjoyable entertainment Tuesday & Wednesday evenings! My wife and I had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed the entire week!

My thanks also to everyone on the Forum for your knowledge and support - the attached pic is a tribute and testimony to all you've done to support the preservation of this '47 that made the almost 1,000 mile journey, much of it either in the rain or in extended periods in 96+ degree temps, all without any mechanical issues. For all you and EFV8 also have done in this regard I am extremely grateful.

Already looking forward to Chantilly in 2017!

Steve

Hi Everyone, I love the forums here and the members but posting a bunch of photos is not as easy as other forums. So here's a link to a batch of photos taken by JM35...

Do yourself a favor, and jump to post #114 where the photos start. You might need to be a member (free) to see the photos.

Hi Everyone, I sure had fun at the 2016 Eastern National Meet!

I like the cars, but it's the people, my friends, that make it so enjoyable.

Judging sure is a lot of work! But it doesn't compare to the work we didn't see!

Thanks to all the club members who could make it!

And a very special thanks to the large number of RG36 members who volunteered so many hours, working hand-in-hand with our national representatives (who are volunteers also, remember). It was a big effort from all of you, and I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed themselves because of it!

Regional Group 96 from Northern Virginia put in many hours doing operations checks for each and every vehicle. (Some of them more than once? Yes, me.) They are host group for next year's ENM in Chantilly June 7-11! http://www.nvrg.org/

Special THANKS to RG36 members Todd Wilmer and Andrew Wilmer, these two young scholars are headed to Clemson S.C., today, Friday, reporting for their Freshman year. They've been V-8 Club Members since birth. These gentlemen, and their parents and grandparents have earned my sincere thanks, congratulations, and best wishes.
