From RSC's page:
"Back Soon (with any luck) Our server host replaced a forum server hard disk without making a backup beforehand. We hope this isn't going to be a serious problem, but stay tuned!" Ouch. There still are upsides to USENET. Can anyone provide me with details how to get in touch with rF Santa who did the BT52 mod? I need to contact him about a skinset for his wonderful Brabham mod. All the best & TIA, Hoover |

All I get for the last few days is a 404. They looked like they might be getting into tight financial circumstances. Don't visit there much but it was nice to know it was there DavErb |
