Title: New Server

Today we moved the Scorpio site across to a new server - we think it's all working OK but do let us know if you are having any problems!

Thanks for all your work, it is really appreciated. It's very easy for me to sit here and enjoy logging-onto this great site, and taking information and benefiting from your work without saying much. Thanks. Peter.

Totally agree with Peter. And a bonus-the date and time are both right !

Just to let you all know that Steve has closed the " simplelist" email system, caused by a lack of funds.

I promise that the reduction in available funds did not coincide with Snoopy's post - I just had to pay the server bill for this month LOL

Is there a funds issue? If so can we make donations? The site does seem to be a bit less active recently, can those members that regularly use the site be persuaded to give more funds. I'm willing to help.

We have a couple of people who subscribe to a £5 a month and that's really helps. The new server is cheaper but I still pay about £25 a month so it's not a kings ransom and I know that although there are fewer and fewer of them on the road, eventually they will become 'collectors' like the Mk3 Cortinas etc are becoming and the site will be invaluable for keeping them on the road.

Interesting link this "How many left" it has the mark 3 Granada types as well on this list, so check your log book for how your car is listed.

The Scorpio looks better than the Granada 20 years on nothing dated here!

Should make people drive them - but not enough to go round now so that's a non starter.

Only 1 other than mine I know of here in South Devon.

Still looking for help getting a Cosworth running (1:6 pats error).

I will send you an email which might help to get it running ;)

Let me check Geoff - I have had some awful email problems as we installed a new spam killer and it assumes everything is spam so I am losing a ton of email - lots of important stuff too. So I'll check the paypal account manually.

And thanks !!!!!! Everything helps!
