Some of these names you guys mention I remember too though like Premierdrum and P71. I posted more on FoMoCoNews which became FordInsideNews which died a very slow and painful death. No idea if Wingsnut ever came here from that site but me and him used to get into it a lot, he was Mr Ford can do no wrong and everything they do is 100% correct every single time. He also hated the Lincoln LS which I drove at that time and loved taking digs at it saying he was glad it was dead and the MKZ replaced it. But yet the Retro Thunderbird was a 'very fine car' which was based on the Lincoln LS.... Of course I post/posted on a lot of other forums too and recognize a lot of folks here from those sites as well like the LLSOC and GMInsidenews I forgot about Wingsnut... he had some interesting info at times. Who was the GM-leaning guy that Wings used to fight with all the time? The GM guy was also a poster at MotorTrend Forums until he got banned and migrated more over to BlueOvalNews. I was a MotorTrend Forums refugee after it got shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a strange bird if you ask me. Haha, yup, that was 2b2 for sure. Definitely an interesting character but nice guy. 13 hours ago, Dequindre said: I forgot about Wingsnut... he had some interesting info at times.

I remember he was always around, and looks like he hasn't posted since pre-covid, hopefully he's alright! And I then saw NickF's profile on there - miss that guy, loved his input on the board here. Haven't seen @PREMiERdrum in a while either! Great post! I was wondering what happened to PREMiERdrum as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went over to GMI and posted as oldsmobilestopped for quite a few years but haven’t seen any activity lately. Who was the poor guy that got his own thread for saying the same things over and over CLNCKS? went for over 100 pages… What happened to Robert Lane, is he no longer associated with the site?

bulltrout Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 I’ve been on this site since at least 2007, though I think it’s been longer because I had another account but lost the password and just started a new one. Like atomcat68, I recall Hemisbc turning every thread into an ode for all things Mopar. That was the most aggravating time for me here. 17 years here, but only 25 posts. I mostly just read and learn. I had no idea what a flat plane crank was, for instance, until the GT 350 was announced and this site walked me through it. Thanks for all the intel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Rosadini Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 How about a guy that went by"Old999" or something similar-I do believe he was an employee or an annuitant.. I checked my start date and it was 10/1999. Then there was a system problem of some sort and the post count was lost. Anyone have any recollection on both counts?

mackinaw Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 There was a Ford insider who would occasionally post. His name was BlueCon or something. His posts were short, but he always offered clarity and were 100% accurate. Haven't heard from him in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerdude20 Posted May 26, 2024 Share Posted May 26, 2024 Igor is another one that I haven’t seen in probably 5-7 years. wonder if any of these guys still lurk around reading the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
