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!)

I like Haggerty. Others will probably chime in here on this also. You can get an assured value and prety much drive it anytime you want.

Thanks, Guys. I'm gonna take a look at Haggetty. Just a note about the photo. I've been a Vette guy for years, so after I got my '34, the first opportunity I had to go to a Vette gathering, I took the Street Rod. It was the talk of the meeting and the compliments over the blown Flathead were nonstop!!!

4 years ago I shopped all of the different companies specializing in classic car insurance and picked ANPAC "Chrome" mainly because they had the highest annual mileage limit (was 5,000 then, now 10,000). Don't know if that's so much different from others now. Here it is if you want to check it out: http://www.anpac.com/classic-car-insurance/

"picked ANPAC "Chrome" mainly because they had the highest annual mileage limit (was 5,000 then, now 10,000)."

years ago when Sneed, Robinson and Gerber got out of this insurance segment they turned their business over to ANPAC, or American National. I called asking about driving coverage and was told in no uncertain terms that the driving coverage was to/from car shows or organized events. They didn't even allow stopping at a restaurant or other stops to/from the event. Maybe ANPAC has changed their policy, but i talked to Haggerty, liked what I heard, bought their policy, and haven't looked back.

I've been using Grundy. It's hard to comment about how good a company may be until you have a claim.So far I have not had a claim(actually hope I don't have to file one), but I know others who have filed and had good luck with the adjusters and service.

I have been with J C Taylor for 20 plus years. Never had a claim until last year when driving the 46 Ford out of my shop and around to the front of the house one of the d*mn suicide doors open and caught on the fence. Pulled the door back into the rear fender. I was sick because it was a stupid mistake on my part. Anyway I called Taylor and they said an adjuster would contact me which he did later in the day. Asked me to email pictures and a description of what happened. Next day he called and said to get an appraisal which I did that day and my appraisal shop faxed their estimate ($2,300). The next day he called and said the check was in the mail. Now, that was great service so I recommend J C Taylor.
