Default Titanium rotors and such

Is it just me or has it quieted down around here lately...

No more talk of titanium rotors or what rear spring should I use to match my 1000 lb/in front springs.

Oh well.

Well, that high priced hydrobooster will hopefully stop it after his body comes off at that speed. Not that it would ever be reached

Well, I for one will miss Tony Sinclair's unpredictability. I will forever remember him as the **** king of the corvette forum. Lets also not forget how well his entire trickery worked like a charm, in the first few days, until it was disclosed that he was the culprit. There was victory for TS, albeit short lived. Will I shed a tear for Tony Sinful? No, I won't. He badgered me in a few of my posts, so I will not consider him a personal loss. If this were an exclusively adult site, he would be of much use, with his vast catalog of pornographic material. Politics and rules have dictated otherwise and I am sure that some of you will miss the KING OF ****! Maybe Robert Ballard will discover the USS Sinclair at the bottom of the Atlantic, someday. Until then, he will exist only in our memories. While some of you might weep, I will remember the glory of sinking his ship with my pinpoint salvos. As for Yellow73, well, nobody said life was fair. He will be remembered merely as a casualty of war, perhaps from misguided, friendly fire.

so are Tony, Yellow73 and Glen gone forever???

Or is it a temporary thing where they will get parolled soon?

Dagum - I need to quit going to bed and or letting my wife get on the computer. All the good stuff happens while I am asleep.

Temporary I'm sure but just ask Bismark above. He apparently "takes credit" for one of the bans...

I slept through it too. I did read a bit about it but never saw the post that got him ban.
I actually do feel sorry for Yellow73. He is a kid just trying to fit in.

I'm going to miss TS. He had a way of dealing with the keyboard krusaders here. But, live by the sword, die by the sword.

I don't understand why yellow73 is still banned, now that the truth of the matter is known and clears him of responsibility for the **** pic. Tony "**** king" Sinclair was the guilty party so why is Yellowboy banned?

My Day shift is your night shift. I defended Tony but it looks like I was duped also. Finally I question is what is happening to this peaceful friendly C3 forum it is getting to look like CFOT.
