Body:
I totally agree. I think if we are to move off from Yahoo, expect
that things may suck for a while and don't get too frustrated.

I was thinking a site like www.foureyedpride.com is a good one. It
looks like a package job, the admin will probably be MORE than
helpful to tell where to buy server space and get things setup.

I was thinking to mention that maybe the www.foureyedpride.com admin
would give us a forum there to talk (Mercury Rising is already there
it seems). However, you may get a fair amount of cross traffic from
people who want to just kabitz on these cars and continuously ask
sill questions like "What is an ascMcLaren?". But at the same time
if a question from a member HERE is easily answerable by somebody
who knows 79-86 Mustangs/Capris then you will get benefit from that.

Just a thought, plus there is a very nice admin keeping everything
there nice and tidy.

I could do this stuff, but with the second kid due to be born next
week, I ain't got 2 seconds to rub together.
