You might as well add Turk to this one.

I joined in 2002, and I remember Johnny Mac and Roger posting a lot, I only remember Bill with a few posts. Karns and I used to joke about having CRS and it would eventually develop into CRFS. So I guess I'm probably there. :LOL:

Those were some interesting times, lol! Moderating was damn near a full-time occupation for Jamo and Computerworks! :LOL:

Speaking of whom, he was another I'm Outta Here without a lot of 'splaining.%/

Yep - he was a good guy but he did fade away without a lot of fanfare.

Ron is still lurking, but has his hands full elsewhere.

Hank D. I see on facebook, having sold his wild FFR track car to another Club Cranky member and fellow clubcobra alumni, Terry.

My experiences with these people (and more) was up close and in person while I still lived in the northeast. Mostly at their homes, various tracks we attended, or the bar after the track, or a bonfire after the track and the bar, occasionally at a local or national show of some kind. All are/were fantatic folks to hang around with and I greatly miss each and every one of them.

Ehhh, it's getting like the emails that come to me now time to time from my old college fraternity alumni group. They all start out now with "I regret to inform you that brother blahblahblah has passed away. His online obituary can be accessed at the following link....":(

:LOL: Sad but true. I've amended my will to include a notification to Club Cobra in the unfortunate event of my passing. :MECOOL:

Amend it to include me as beneficiary and I'll alert the others.:cool:

I'm part owner of one tract of land that 5 or 6 relatives have been fighting over for the last two decades. I'll be happy to bequeath that to you when I "transition" lol!

It sure was different back then. The biggest change I see is it was much busier on here back in the day. I'm not sure why that is, but it was noticably busier. I just looked and at the bottom of the home page it says the most ever on line here at one time was 3,146 on the morning of Dec. 23, 2011. Right now there are only 284 on line here as I type this. There's definitely less traffic on this site than in years past. Maybe sites like Facebook have taken a toll? I wouldn't know since I don't do any social media at all. I sure hope it's not a indicator that our Cobra hobby or our automotive hobby in general is waning.

Some names brought up here bring back some memories. I didn't know any of these guys but I sure remember them being very active on here. "Turk" was on all the time, now he seems to be gone for quite a while. I know that he and some others were in a bit of a clique, they had a name for themselves. I don't recall what the name was but they sort of had their own little group. Computerworks was another; he was very active but is long gone as well. I actually met him once, he had a storefront business at the time on Long Island when I lived there. I happened to be in that town one day and just walked into say hello. He was a very nice cordial guy and we chatted for quite a while. I remember Excalibur, Trularin, Hey Little Cobra, Capt. Eddie, 392 Cobra, WTM442, Rick Parker, Rick Lake and so, so many others. They were good times. Even Brent Mills (does he still own this site?) doesn't post much if at all on here anymore.

We still see (Terry, FFR racer) @ the Sovern races in the PNW, pre-Covid. I spoke with him (Phone) this last fall about the PNW Club Cobra stickers, he said how many do you want? :) We had been hoarding them, as we thought they were long gone, he told me to take them over, since he's not too active with the site anymore, but still racing his Cobra, lost the "Good Race Motor" last time out. He said as an ex-racer you know how that go's!!! @Buzz, you still in BC ? This next summer we have talked about meeting some club member @ the Border, you could ride down with one of them, so we could finally meet face-to-face. TommyRot.

Most are still there, some still have their cars, some do not, I lurk I pop in to their site from time to time, but cannot remember the last time I posted.

Speaking of 'where are they now', what happened to the Jokes thread that dominated activity in the Lounge?

It's totally gone!

I suppose I count as an old timer since I joined in early 2000. I guess I didn't stir up enough crap to be remembered though?!? :LOL:

Sold both of my Cobras over the last 20 years. incredible cars but I just found I wasn't driving them enough to keep that much $$ tied up in them. Glad to see the site is still up and running.

Only 36 members between your ID and mine, wonder how many are still around **)

I joined in Aug 2002 when I did my SPF1557 assembly. Still have it and I still stop by occasionally to see the headlines. This site was a tremendous help back then when I was sorting out the car with a few of those old timers willing to provide their assistance. I'm glad to see it still going!

Frank (428Street) is alive and well. More focused on A’Pizza these days than Cobras. I know he had his car back at Peters for some work that took a LOOONG time.
