Wow Scott! you are the most affected so far. We really had a blow up. I am communicating with the Administrators. They are trying to figure it out. What a shame. Well we will carry on. I remember your threads and posts we shared. You became a member long ago I thought? You are the first I have heard about who had to re register. When did you first join?

I hope you get that young man involved. When he is in his 60's there will be very few with his knowledge. Basic mechanics who know why the old stuff works is getting rare.

i just joined the beginning of September this year. Looking at post it seems anything after August 29 was lost, i may have fell into that. Yes i had to redo my profile and pics, basically start over. think i got it all good now. I was the one who got grandmas jeep after she retired it from racing and made me promise not to modify it up. And stuck to my promise.

Yes it would be nice to get him involved. Get him off Xbox and involved in real life and skills. He is very excited about idea, kinda of bugging me a bit but that's a good thing. this just fell in my lap so the timing may be perfect. funny how life works.

So hope things get fixed with the forum, still acting a little funny but not sure if its on my end.

Oh Scott, that explains it. You are in the dates when the EMP hit!

So glad you reminded of your story, I do remember Racin' Grandma! I think we discussed you needed to write that story down and keep it with the jeep. It would be great if you could submit a few photo's to the KW photo's for the catalog. It is a good chance to get the story in a more permanent format. We have lost things on the forum before. As reliable as the internet seems to be, I can clearly remember when we backed up the back ups and then backed it all up on tape drives! Be sure to send your story and some photos of you and the newest mechanic to the KW catalog. All kinds of great photos get in there.

Wow those are history! I would be real tempted to send those to one of the digital enhancement shops and see how much they can extract from those photo's. Wow that is so cool to have that shot of the Jeep in its glory days, grandma at the wheel.
