Title: Ghost on the forum.
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 05, 2018, 05:36:48 pm: I've seen the ghost. Here, there. Several times, the last few days. Doesn't post anything. We don't bite.

I'm not sure how this works.

Post by: GTXVette on January 05, 2018, 07:07:34 pm: Thats Funny, a Ghost, I usually here of someone like that reffered to as a Lurker !. I have asked a couple people over from GRM and outside in the Real World. some things were posted here relevent to what was asked over there. also I use this site to show folks pretty pictures of my Fiero.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 05, 2018, 07:40:56 pm: All in fun. Lurker doesn't sound very friendly. On the other hand, if you pass through without evidence of your passage, there is no embodiment of your presence. Hence, ghost.

Best regards,

Post by: VanGTP5000 on January 06, 2018, 02:51:08 pm: Thank you all for rolling out the welcome wagon. :)

I do have a Fiero. Sort of... It started life as a 1985 Black GT Notchie. It has slowly morphed into a Countach with a full engine & transmission swap over the last 15 years lol. I still think of it as a Fiero. I am a big fan of our little mid engine machines!

Thanks again for the warm welcomes and Happy New Year to all.

Title: Re: Ghost on the forum.
Post by: GTXVette on January 15, 2018, 06:51:08 pm: I was born and raised in S. Miami. We moved up here in 1961, The rest of the Family moved back but the Mountains keep Calling to me. BUT, I, and Hopefully some of this Crew here will be in Gainsville in October. for the Grassroots Challenge. Plan ahead that's as Close as Most of us can Get,(speaking for Myself really).
For what it's worth; The only West Coast (USA not Fla.) GRM Challenge was won By A Fiero, OK so he was the only Car to Show, A Win Is A Win. Lol It Was 4wd with an electric motor up Front.

Post by: VanGTP5000 on January 16, 2018, 01:25:53 pm: That would certainly be the longest trip I made so far by a long shot! I have no doubt the car would make it no problem...but my back? That's a whole different story lol.

Can you say trailer anyone?

Nice ride! That's actually one of the nicer rebodies that I've ever seen.

Van,

Thank you so much Raydar. I appreciate the compliment. I have posted pics on PFF before, but not too often. I find that there are some haters on there as far as re-bodies/kitcars go. Seems that some purists think it is a crime to entertain the idea. I don't take things too seriously but I also try not to upset the apple cart.

I would if I knew how ;)

I bother Charlie enough regarding headlight motors...so I really don't want to bother him with posting my pics. Even though he very nicely offered!

The instructions for how to post on this forum are here (http://www.gafiero.org/bbs/index.php?topic=438.0).

Use PIP, just like on PFF, but a different config file.
Title: Re: Ghost on the forum.
Post by: VanGTP5000 on January 16, 2018, 02:55:12 pm: I can see that pretty easily. I had been trolling around here for a while thanks to fierofool letting me know about this place last year. It was about time to join. But then again...I had been visiting PFF regularly since 2000 and only joined in Apr. of last year!

Was the back problem before or after the conversion?
Title: Re: Ghost on the forum.
Post by: VanGTP5000 on January 16, 2018, 04:55:13 pm: Well, I would have to say it came on during as the "conversion" has been going on for over 14 years now.

Post by: Fierofool on January 16, 2018, 06:19:50 pm: Van, if you have the PFF version of PIP, I suggest you uninstall it and install Pat's version. It seems to work much better without all the problems of the PFF version. I don't know about the PFF version, but with ours you can post pictures on almost any other forum.
