HRI is GONE!

Mr34 · February 27, 2005, 04:06:20 AM

Well i was there to see the end,
We broke a record for number of users on line, so that shows the support that was there.

Apart from a childish race to be the last to post..... (which i myself was quite heavily involved in!!!!!

)

It was a sad time.

Well, this is my internet home now,

Thanks.

Mr34 · February 27, 2005, 04:08:29 AM

Im off to have a few jars, drown my sorrows.

Bye all.

Carps · February 27, 2005, 04:09:17 AM

And I had no involvement at all, because i was the grand all time post meister anyhow.

But that Dolly, boy did she ever show her nasty side.

all organisations suffer from the 80/20 rule, 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people...smart money already know how big a part Greg & Dave played amongst the 20%ers.

It was the original and best IMHO when it comes to Aussie based Hot Rod sites.

Correct me if I'm wrong but they even did the original ASRF homepage!

I have some strong views on this issue but sure ain't going to voice my displeasure at any one person or persons for fear I'll get a writ...

Needless to say I'll be contacting my State Director of the ASRF & voice my displeasure...and if nothing happens I'll write to the DC Meeting & the NCC Directors.

This is surely one of the most counter productive outcomes for ages.
Anyway I'll cool down...but I will maintain the rage
What a complete...

Sorry my lawyer suggested I say "No Comment" ;-)

To all involved I hope the outcome is a positive one and ASAP.
For sure the poor sods copping the bullets are died in the wool, fair dinkum, hard working 100% right to the bone & into the marrow Hot Rodders.

Yer, I was there till the end, I think its criminal to close the site down that has helped so many.
I could get away with swearing on HRI, I'll zip my mouth here.
It makes ya wanna swear. Actually it makes me wanna belt someone.
Just for the record, my 32 is driven, NOT Trailored.

The switch was turned off for HRI's forum just after 8 pm, leaving many people more than a little sad, I'm sure.
Hey Mick... why dontcha bring your rod down to the Hot Rod Rumble, and maybe, just maybe, we could organize a flattie showdown. What say Corrie?

Sean Hammond · February 27, 2005, 06:13:13 AM

Thats not what i read mick

Something bout suzukis?
Was sad to see it go, but if all the support HRI has had comes together, it shouldnt be long until its back online.
Hey i think i got the last post in too

Mick will need to take that brickwall of a Model T windscreen off though to have a chance

Just kidding

That would be a match race to see! Too bad I won't be there :cry: :cry:. Maybe I could fly down Sunday morning, hmmmmmm

Carps · February 27, 2005, 04:52:19 PM

I reckon I could push my OHV powered '33 and still beat those flattie guys!

I could run behind them with a bucket picking up the pieces

Lithgow-Mick · February 27, 2005, 06:41:47 PM

With all due respect guys, I don't race.
I personally don't see the point spending all that money getting it on the road, then racing the guys outta it.
Besides, its no contest, you would all be in the mirrors the whole time.
Very faint images in the mirrors.

And you have a flathead?

What are you, a cliff racer?

That's only because our image will be on the metal part on the front side of your mirrors.

On the other hand, we'll probably have difficulty seeing your flatty powered machine in the glass side of our mirrors, because the steam from your radiator will be fogging them up.

Or maybe the Suzuki towing your trailer will block our view.
