Default OK- I'll ask....

Where has everybody gone?
Over to the "R" side? Or is there someplace else?

Been wondering the same thing. It's a shame.

I don't really know, either. What really surprises me is that Mike in Chi has apparently vanished, though he's the founder of this group (HWFM). I did notice some folks during my few visits to JohnD's new forum, but I don't really hang out there much, so it could be there are more than I think. No big for me -- I am overall very happy with RL and will stay here for many years to come.

Hi Bonnie and others. I'm still around, just not very often.

Where do I find John D's new forum?

RANDY!!! Guess what?!? Have you heard? I have a 993 (FINALLY) and there's a dang good chance I'll be at Road Atlanta over the 4th in July. Are you going? Several of our local smocal P-club folks are working pretty hard to convince me to go. It's great having a rep as an instructor. Yeah, I'll have to pay for this one, of course. But TEAM might finally be expanding. Woot!

So . . . uhhh . . . any advice on that course? Do you have a drawing of the line? Advice on what to look out for? Yeah, I'm a little excited.

Bonnie, I guess you're doing the BMW event. Is it still on? I got an email saying they might have to cancel do to low turnout. For me the problem is the $470.00 fee.

I spent this last weekend at RA w/PCA. Great weather. Great event.

What to look out for? Your marks at every turn. Not a forgiving track. Plan on being tired at the end of each day.

Congrats on the 993. I thought you already had one. Still got the SM?

John D's new site?

I was about to buy a 96 Arena Red Metallic when I found the Iris Blue Metallic that I DID buy. I'm glad I went and looked, that is for sure!

Yes, I plan to attend the BMW event. I've got a couple of guys in our local Porsche club that want me to learn the track so that I may instruct out here.

I cannot give out JD's forum addy as I think it's against the rules, but PM me and I'll do it that way, just in case. It's a nice place, but nowhere near as active as right here on RL. If you do sign up, please support the cause as I did.

Yeah, I check there too, but unless there is some private forum (always a possibility) I don't see many of the regulars. Doug Crossman was at our CR a few weeks ago and I was going to collar him and ask him, but never got th chance.
Sorry to see this go- was a great amount of fun w/ great people.

I'm still around but not posting much.

Pretty sure the BT was working on his Park Ranger credentials and was recently seen trying to outwit the cunning cutthroat.

They're all hiding in the Off Topic forum on that site.
In order to see/access it, you have to be "invited" by a current member...really.
And if you get caught passing notes during class, you're out of the club...really.

Hiding? Interesting choice of wording? What are you trying to imply? Also, very few of the HWFM crew are active there....so where are they if just not here?

Almost everyone that has participated there, has been invited...

Not accurate at all. What a false and condescending comment.

Really?

Do you have any evidence of this?

Has anyone been banned from Reutterwerk ( besides Viagra spam )?

Yes.
If this is to be discussed further, may I suggest via PM?
