    Re: When Do You Reckon?

    i live in south georgia , i check in daily. have spotted a red a silver and friday the twin of my white 03. also a white on 75 miles away in claxton. ga. I wave but no one seems to notice. My car is my daily driver. Prior to this i drove a long list of Lincoln Mark 7's and 8's. the Fan base there tends to be very active almost manic. but i enjoy my bird and the members imput here.

      I think many of the participants here got into the " car culture " late in life and we likely have even more spectators. You can spot the people here who had a car as a big part of their life and history. I would guess that cars and music evoke more memories than any thing else.

                Be interesting to know how many visit this site each month. Also a lot of our discussions are about topics older than many members. Guess they can't speak our language and we can't speak theirs. Seems like I heard that over 60 years ago when rock & roll was new.

                  We've had 600 members visit in the last month (used to be about 1000), over 1600 in the last year, approx 225 members visit every day. A lot of silent partners and even the silent ones speak up sometimes. and approx 400 new members in the last year.

                  around 50 have joined in the last month so it will be around May 20 when we reach 11000.

                    Dot,

                    Is there a way to know how many members have gone to the happy hunting grounds and are still listed as members? Is there a membership expiration period due to inactivity? If I did not log in for a year, would I get an email asking if I want to continue my membership?
                    Just wondering. No big deal. Just being active and letting you know I am still here.

                      1 No way to know unless some relative or friend lets us know.
                      2- No (They do pop in sometimes)

                      3-Probably not, I've never been away that long.

                          Thanks SixPac,

                          I remember reading posts from most of the ones no longer living.

                          It makes me very sad seeing all the names.

                              I must be getting old. I recognize more and more people in the obituaries.
