Just realized I hadn't seen him post in a while. Unique name always made me smile. Lose him when the forum got  bit wobbly or is he under a new name?

I don't think he made the journey here, he is still around I saw his motor the other day.

We’ve also temporarily lost John 602. I had a message the other day from his wife Barbara that he is currently without a computer.

It will be with his car keys.

we lost Dutch109Petrol,
he passed away last year and my brother has no interest in joining the forum under my dad's old login.

Does the forum have a way to flag up users that have been inactive for a set period, as we are all doing to go to the workshop in the sky at some point and in many cases people winding up our afairs may not think of updating our profiles

[Wittsend]

I'm afraid we don't have a mechanism for this.

We can see when a person last logged in, they don't have to post anything.

Forum users come and go as their interest in Land Rovers waxes & wanes ....
or they get bored with the forum.

The we have those, like 602 who keep having computer problems and are off-line for periods.

We rely on the forum grapevine on keeping us updated.

Hi
I hope we haven't lost fg and another forum member crashbox
Which his post hasn't been active for ages, down to earth people, down to earth land rover owners, (not full of their own $##t .He came across on his post
not as a sad  but as a very knowledgable person ,but found nothing wrong to adapt your land rover to how YOU wanted it but to preserve early and original land rovers of all variety. He wasn't afraid on his opinion about the use of a useable second hand chassis to keep a series on the road if needs must in a senseable manner ,not to tell the world
and his friends ,instead of following the masses I MUST GET A "NEW GALVANIZED CHASSIS " at the first sight of rust, ok a sensible opition if you have the finances, but is the home mechanic,fabricater/welder, working on his driveway (havn't all got a garage )coming a thing of the past ?? To me in lr owner /lr monthly /and classic lr magazine more and more articles where a person (more money than sense) to get in to the up and coming land rover series trendy scene has brought a land rover and paid a business to do all the work and then show of their so called handy work "look all my own work "Beckham springs to mind photographed a couple of months back proper land rover owners have oil and grease on their hands ,bruised knuckles they have worn the boilersuit to prove it .rant over . Ok not eveyone is tard with the same brush just my opinion in the real world.

Unfortunately crashbox appears to have been missing for quite a while.

He doesn't respond to emails either.

I miss him because he was an inspector in an area of the country where we are short and he had a fantastic knowledge of S2 land rovers.

I’m fairly sure that he just got tired of answering the same questions over and over. I know that I find the kind of people that want to be spoon fed the equivalent of a couple of decades worth of experience in an afternoon quite tiring. Particularly when people ask advice, ignore the responses, then come back expecting those they’ve ignored to wave a magic wand to sort the latest misadventure.

I always enjoyed crashbox's posts, very knowledgeable and no lardy-da BS...!
