Default 2 things

(1) Anyone know what happened to "6speedonline" ??
(2)For XMAS I got the 60th Anniversary Porsche book by Leffingwell.
It is a great read and I've learned a ton about the car and its history.

6speed fully evolved into doucheland and poser-ville. The good folks ran off to another site with "team" and "speed" in the title.

Congrats on the book - I want that one, too.

You would think that the old site would automatically take you to the new one!
Anyway, get the book.
It's a great read.

Message said the site "was under construction." Maybe it should have said under destruction.

Ooops! You are correct. I forgot to type the "online" part of the site name and got the "under construction" message for a site which currently does not exhist. My bad!

I did some searching and it seems as if the company that runs 6speedonline, is the same on that runs Rennlist.

It's similar to dickspeedonline.com- a bunch of little wee-wee people stroking their ego's.


We have wayyyyyyyyyyyy more substance here on RL.

At least, I think so. But the general rhetoric is very immature and superficial.

I like the 6speedonline classifieds, and don't find the forum that much different than this one.
