Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who has donated to the Ford Scorpio site over the last year - we don't acknowledge them individually but please be assured that they are a great help.
We are just about to renew the charges for the servers for the next year and as the site, forum and message board now consume over 35 GB of data traffic every month it looks as though we will have to pay a bit extra this year.
So this is just a quick note to everyone to say that if you were thinking of making a donation, however small, then it would be greatly appreciated at this time.
Some members have asked about other methods of donating rather than using PayPal however it's been difficult to setup bank accounts etc to handle relatively small amounts of money and so we'd like to continue using PayPal - you can use a credit or debit card with them without needing to register etc.
Anyway, that's enough begging 
Best regards
Steve

There's a PayPal 'donate' button on the top banner - I'd imagine you just click on that...

Anyone else noticed that we have 3 new smileys in the main reply section?
I'm still trying to edit the code to add them to the quick reply bit that I added last night 
I'll add a few more interesting ones over the weekend.

Is that still a problem?
I tested it today and it seems to be ok now but then with PayPal you never quite know.
Thanks

Paypal works fine.I made a small donation yesterday under the name of Clark.
You couldn't get such good advice and help this cheap from any garage.Ford main dealers haven't got the know how members of this site have.
My wife thought I was the only mad b--ger who's obsessed with a Scorpio.
Best Wishes
Dave

Many thanks John
A couple of quid from a few people every so often makes a huge difference between the site being sulf funding and it coming out of my own pocket (again) LOL
And a massive THANK YOU to the person who sent us 50 quid last week - I won't embarress him but just to say that this weeks bandwidth is on him - so use it wisely LOL
