Hi All,

The 17,000+ messages from our 7 years on YahooGroups are now available on the new forums at http://www.amphicar770 You can link directly to
Amphicar Lovers Yahoogroup Archives - Welcome to The Amphicar Lovers Digest / Forum

Here you will find a wealth of information and history. Everything from negative ground conversions to body panel adhesives and Wonder Woman's invisible car. The search capabilities on the new forum will make finding this information much faster and easier than ever before.

Conversion was not simple. Yahoo does not let go of archived messages without a fight!! I am not 100% satisfied with the formating but will tweak it in the coming days. There are also some "empty" or dublicate messages that will need to get pruned. It will happen. For now, I wanted to make the content available. (previous YahooGroup members can still also view the archives there).

Al Heath also provided me copies of the ORIGINAL ListBox postings (these include the very first amphicar-lovers message to about 8 people some 10+ years ago). It will take a little work to get these converted but it is on the "to do" list.

I have also added a few new features to the site. First off there is an automatic image resizer which makes it much easier to post pictures with your posts without worrying that they exceed size limits. It is all done automagically.

I have also added a spell checker to the on-line editor. (Look in the upper right hand corner when you type in a message. I looks like the letters "abc" with a check mark underneath.

No promises as to when, but we are also working on a full text, daily digest for those who requested this option.

I would like to thank all those who have contributed/donated to supporting the site. I also want to thank those who have signed up as ad sponsors. To date I probably have almost $1,000 invested, and hundreds of hours. It will likely never be profitable but if it breaks even I will be happy! No contribution is too large or too small!
