Ok interesting answers. I thought there would be a flood of guys reading HAMB or Hemmings.com. I do glance over Hemmings for certain reasons, I think it is one I post the most on when I have something to say. lol

Theoldmotor.com has very interesting pieces on there. SAAC I already got tired of and gave a second try after 20+ years. Tired of reading guys looking for help and a few responders were "do some leg work" including Kopec.


About once a month I check out Dogfightmag.com they had some interesting threads on 50's 60's fiberglass cars. But otherwise it's quiet on there.

Cobraregistry I never heard of until I noticed it on this site and the one sundude is on for real cobras only.

I use to read that antique forum of cars but no longer. Too many forums or owner sites that are good but who has the time. The Aussies make me laugh on here all the time.

Doubtful, as I find those there quite helpful, even to those like yourself. Yet there are those who give, and those who take, with some (like your posts here suggest), it is all about their family pedigree, for all others, it is not. I'll leave it at that.

Well that's the way I talk, history is a big part and I'm long winded. I won't mention his name but I quote him often. There's a story behind the story, and behind that story. So to me everything is linked in some way.

Not to get into any intellectual properties but the great masters(like da Vinci) view the past, present and future in cycles, patterns and rhythms. Which can be applied to most anything if you understand the concept.

No a persons true colors eventually come out when it's least expected. a few jumped on another's back far too often on SAAC site. I'm sure 99.9% are helpful as the members on this site. My experience was noted there with Kopec and corruption flows from the top down.


I don't feed any of my dogs Pedigree.

Seems only one person tells that story who "lives on the east and west coast". It is that chip on your shoulder which is the dead giveaway.

As for the rest:

I have a wonderful family, some quite famous in their own right, yet it is rare that I mention any of them as it is irrelevant to this site. Same goes for education, wealth, and a host of other items that again are not relevant to this site. I prefer instead to give to those that ask, regardless of whether they are of noble stature or not, and to never look down my nose at any who are here.

Well whatever your intentions are they reflect back towards you, just as you may say mine reflect back towards me. Just the mention of a few items such as my family, Yale, Fairfield county on this I have reconnected back channel with a few that I have met some time ago.

You made the ignorant comment towards me about transmitting in my basement and what other bit of nonsense did you post? It was bad enough that I had to waste time commenting then let alone your post here.

If you want an education in SigInt, penetration testing, social engineering, etc... I have little time to waste on explaining the facts of life to you.


Just a suggestion skip my posts, your delusion insights are better kept to yourself. You or anyone else that has a problem with my comments are welcome to do so back channel. However I have only had positive PM's and inquiries.

Not sure where you are coming from, do I challenge your expertise of being king of the mountain on a site? I really could care less. Did I insult the integrity of Kopec and SAAC? I already made my comments on his site, he never responded to what took place decades ago.

Funny thing I've been compared to Jay on the way that I speak. Many people think that he is showing off with all his automotive knowledge and tidbits of trivia. Far from the truth! It's about education.

Bill...you've been testing my patience here on several threads that have required attention over the past few months, not to mention over at the other place.

Had enough. Get off this thread and stop being a dick everywhere else.

Now.

Helicopters! one machine I always wanted to build, mother has always been petrified of those things. If it were not for the cost of owning and maintaining a helicopter that carries more than one person we would have had one a long time ago. Our Cobra has certainly filled the gap admirably,as have our motorcycles, tractors, and camp.

Gyrocopters are far simpler and easier to fly then a helicopter. Helicopters are like hundreds of bits whirling around waiting to destroy itself. But much safer then planes.

I don't contribute directly but help with photos when I am able to. Both non automotive related.


Oh by the way how is JAMO a "super moderator" ? Not that I have a chip on my shoulder or something.

Well I had not intended it to be nonsense until an ICBM was launched in my direction.


However one site was very interesting and spent some time reading the gyro site.

Two other sites worth mentioning. Jesse and his just a car guy blog has a wide range of info from all over. Just a car guy

Chris on cars has interesting pieces at times. He knows a great deal of history. http://chrisoncars.com/

OK, somebody's gotta say something. Quit with the "Swinging D##k" pissing contest!
There are plenty of folks here that can drop names all day, but they don't. That's not the point of this website, I believe. I am not a moderator, just getting pissed.

I actually met, and chatted with, Sherman Hemsley at a DC World of Wheels show. There, beat that.

They drew first blood, not me.

Don't Push it. Don't push it, or I'll give you war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go!

Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war!


Sorry I couldn't help myself. Sort of fit. Your comment reminds me of an old comedy album. Two old timers taking a leak off a high bridge. One says water sure is cold today and the other says yeah it's deep too.
