Bummer....they only got one post in...maybe I just should have lurked for a couple of days to see what mayhem they created. and such a benign post at that too! (think I got off very lightly!...no where near as bad as impersonation of Sanks!) Thanks for the offer of a bikini Rob...but it's still a bit too cold down here for that.

Perhaps it is time we took our so called "shenanigans" off the AF area and leave the poor innocents out of it.

Di, it is interesting that the language of the above post is enough to show that Australdi_real REALLY is you, and the few words from australdi were enough to be at least very suspicious that it wasnt. funny how one's online persona can be so readily read. now, for my part, i have little doubt as the true identity of australdi, as posted. the subtlety of the humour is a dead give away, and i feel sure that one post is the only one we will see. despite my somewhat earlier post heralding such a thing, and perhaps planting the bad seed in an evil mind, it was not me! i am happy to just be me, hence my username.

Yup, the syntax and word choice was all wrong (especially in the shout box). I'm still kicking myself for making a too soon appearance though...it could have been hilarious watching from the roof space. hehe  *wistful sigh* I do hope the recovery goes well because it would be such a shame to lose the virtuoso impersonation of purrrgeot...now THAT was getting the walk & the talk spot on! Classic AF moments!

Bloody hell - dino gets his own dinosaur - Craig K gets a forum/sub-forum named after him and   and another one that I can't find now, kenfeugo is due here any time and we all know the length of his posts   next thing Patrick/Jess will find us and we will have an Expert At All Things forum. They also knew that gibgib (G_O_D to most us mere mortals) was coming here and that his mood would be  Although looking around the site we may be in a place that considers a supreme being anything but that. I've got a half written email to Mark Butler that i must finish and when he gets into this place god help us - he will use all of the little whatsits in every email. (BTW Mark's wife is not travelling too well and MB is suffering under the load of caring for her - those that have his contact pls drop him a line - or if you'd like to get his email address PM me)

Specially an overweight one.  Mike. But gimme an hour or two.

Well bugger me. (And you don't get invitations like that every day).  Anyway........ If you let your mouse linger over some of the ads that appear after the first post on each page there are our good friends godaddy.  Perhaps it might be polite to ask the captain of the good ship AUS-CITY if it's ok to abuse them before any of us does?  Mike.

hello, ive just found my way to this replacement site. lets hope things get sorted with aussiefrogs soon. bit of a worry. oh, and our latest little project in the family, stretching the 205 by 100mm in order to fix the lift off oversteer problem and making enough room for a mid-engine layout configuration for the t16 engine. we're nearly there!

Only down side is when you tuck them into your pants it looks like you've had an accident. Mine was docked years ago before it was made illegal in Australia (so it only looks like a small accident) now that bikini would look much better on jess than me!

I think you ll find Jess prefers turtle-necks... dino In this post-apocalyptic world, we remember Aussiefrogs as the site that catered to the proclivities of Australian dwelling french-car enthusiasts. With all the talk of, cross-dressing, female impersonators, dinosaurs, bikinis and turtle-necks, God only knows what our American hosts and their contributors must think of the riff-raff that have burst onto their site! The average poster to this site could be for given for thinking: 1) " "French cars" must be a euphemism for all manner of naughtiness and my life is meaningless without a rusting frog in the driveway - whatever that means"; 2) "Australians are every bit as bonkers as I always thought they were; 3) "What's with the leather shorts, anyway" EX

Back to blokey things like cars and grease, did a mod on the rear end of the fuego and so far none of the bits have bent or snapped. There is this huge rattle on the newly panel beaten bit, but only on over run at 2874.6 rpm so its a bitch to replicate. Only happens when driving hardish on a slight left lean. AGrrrr

David is confident that our March 2006 backup will work. It just needs some repair.
So looking in the other posts in the AF section, the biggest help in getting things sort of back to normal would be to post lots, & maybe work out a system of trawling google & wayback, then our own computers for images & info. A sub forum for an organised attack.
There might be a delay in getting things like upload centre, attachments & members gallery working again but the priority is the getting AF back.
It looks like we are on or own for sure as no contact from godadddy since Friday.
I need to get help with backing up in future so I will ask for volunteers (have to be qualified & vouched for by other strong members) to pull down a copy of AF at different periods. Looks like we will start at around 4 gigs. I have just upped my usage to the max with bigpond as I will give it a nudge this next month.
The offer of money is a nice thought but I don't require any to get us going again. Maybe we could look at using it for something else that could benefit everyone. The best help will be to get posting again X 10.
I'm going to say Thursday for AF back now. I am not around Wednesday or Thursday myself but I will get David to let you know the URL of the new location anyway.

FWIW... I ll definitely try and repost some of my 505 pics...new 205 pics and the new 604 resto... We ve got to get all the "post whores" out of the woodwork... dino

Gerry, that's wonderful. Let's hope we can put together some sort of AF that resembles a cute green frog and not some Frankenstein Toadlike  creature. Although, for upcoming festivities of the Pagan variety, Frankentoad would be suitable.

Gerry,
Thanks for the update. Really looking forward to see the more familiar AF back again!
And .. thanks so much to David, he must be under the pump too.
Can we import the treads and posts from Aus-City to serve as a reminder of the disaster (and the successful recovery from)
If it's does come online again next Thurday - then it's only been a week and a complete rebuild and re home in a week is a creditable.
cheers

Jo The mighty fuego must be fitted with a mighty tacho - reads down to 0.1 of a rev? Ok you got me, it was just a guess, but I do actually have the technology to measure thousands of events per second with great accuracy on the old HP digital counter with its loverly retro display. I'm guessing at about 5 decimal points. DIno, the challenge is not in deadening the resonating part, but in finding the barstard in the first place. I need to get touchy feely with the side of the car when it starts its resonation, which means getting an assistant. I hate working with assistants. It could be the plastic interior that is resonating, the plastic exterior, the fuel filler the exhaust against the body, the exhaust mount, or any tool I left behind.  Jp

Well this is a bit of a shock! See what happens when I don't keep an eye on you for a few days! From the sound of things, I probably won't exist (as Country Cousin) in the restored 2006 vintage AF, so this is my chance to make a new start :-). Looks like someone is trying to cash in on the apparent demise of AF, although they haven't had much response so far :-). Anyone know anything about this site? http://www.aussiefrenchcars.com/?gclid=CNCU8LiV76QCFQjObgodeVG01g

New topic:
Oldest son and girlfriend slid off a gravel road near Tamworth yesterday and hit a tree. They are fine but car (Nissan Pathfinder) looks like a write-off.
They are mountain-bikers and campers and need a fairly roomy vehicle. Tim is open to the idea of a 406 HDi wagon, but the supply seems to have dried up... Anyone know of one for sale?

I also do web development, if you have not guessed http://www.enhanceindustries.com.au/
