I keep forgetting about the Events Calendar.  After I read your post I went down to the bottom of the forum and said, "There's nothing today!" :D

Wow, 8 years old.  Thanks Jim!  :drinkers:

Jim ,

I'd love to know the history around the site. How did you get it up and running and catch the eye of the original pioneering members. Was there another site or group it branched off from??

Who is around from the trail blazing days??

It all started from a little idea back in 1996, Vintage Restorations was the name I used and this Site was the first incarnation as I began to slowly move away from restorations...
The rest, as they say, is history...

Dido on the Great site... It has helped me get through the workweek, as I seem to be on it 2-3 times a day at work...
