Update 4\/11\/13: <\/strong>It’s hard to come up with words appropriate to covey the appreciation I have for all of your support and participation in the site. \u00a0Thank you all very much!!<\/p>\n

I *think* everyone who is supposed to have a T shirt has gotten one. \u00a0-if not let me know.<\/p>\n

Update 3\/31\/13: \u00a0<\/strong>It’s rabbit egg day and thanks to all of you the bills are paid and I can make some more progress on my plan to index the site and create a database for the reference resources I have been gathering and normalizing. \u00a0Back to the regularly scheduled program! \u00a0Oh, and I owe a handfull of you all T shirts! \u00a0I’ll send some emails on Monday morning. \u00a0One of you asked me whether I might consider adding Lancia’s to the channel line up. \u00a0I have considered it, and having worked on them, owned several and currently owning two makes me as much of an authority as is needed to give commentary so perhaps I will.<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again where I get my renewal notices for services related to the site. \u00a0It’s been an interesting year – hanging out with Rufus, working on getting a business (or few) off the ground, moving shop three times and home once, and squeezing a few minutes out here and here to add something to the site. \u00a0I really need to index the site properly soon as I can’t find some posts I know are on here somewhere -so look for that in the near future.<\/p>\n

Rufus loves oranges! \u00a0Nice cable knit sweater Ruf!<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my first posts<\/a>\u00a0(Afshin’s<\/a> well bought SS) to the site was done in late April 2008, meaning my fifth anniversary is nigh. \u00a0This will be my 786th post to the site and you might be the 1,000,000th visitor to the site. \u00a0If you comment it may be the 3000th comment I’ve received. \u00a0Not bad for the upstart!<\/p>\n

The Appia is now a nearly fully functional thing. \u00a0Too bad I don’t really have time to mess with it. \u00a0Maybe I’m dim, but I only noticed recently that Lancia’s of this era are named after Italian roads. \u00a0Via Appia, Via Flaminia, Via Fulvia etc. \u00a0Is it universal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve resisted placing advertising on the site (though WordPress puts some in occasionally – nothing I can do about that), preferring to do these pledge drives. \u00a0 So, if you’ve found this site entertaining, helpful etc, please consider donating <\/a>something to it (link has details how to do it). \u00a0I realize my posts of late have been sporadic, but I have no intention of giving up now after coming so far, especially since SS’s and other neat Giulietta’s are still coming out of the wood work.<\/p>\n

I have a few black T shirts left -a couple XL’s and maybe 1 or 2 mediums and larges, so if you want a shirt speak up now, or lets say they will be gifts to any donator of $30 or more while supplies last and I have their size.<\/p>\n

Last, I’ve put out appeals in the past for submissions to the site, if anyone wants to contribute I’d be grateful, this is after all your<\/em> site.<\/p>\n
