What ever happened to ??

Onlyest-Steve
and
Bee Jay

 

Lurking i would say brother, I see them around from time to time...........

 

Summertime!


Heck, I've only made one or two posts in the last several weeks also.

 

Ha-ha, good point! It's winter down here, that must be why my post count is rising so quickly.......

 

Yeah, the boys dont seem to post as much. A few of the "locals" havent been on here as much actually.

Perhaps everyone has been really busy?

Bee Jay last logged in the 11-7.
Steve last logged in the 13-7.

 

I think summertime is the reason... plus I know BeeJay was busy with his Vette. I'll drop Steve an email and see what's what.

PAP...

Maybe you can tell us, while we're on this subject...whatever happened to Rifledriver? Looking through the old posts, he seems like he was an invaluable resource...what about Brian Crall? Tell us... enquiring minds want to know...

+1 Some of the posts I have read of theirs are AWESOME!!!

 

The story of Rifledriver is quite sad. He is still active on another forum. I consider him a friend.

Absolutely, he is one of the most knowledgeable posting Ferrari techs ever on Fchat.

In a nutshell (and as diplomatically as I can say), he grew tired the atmosphere that surrounds many tech posts on Fchat.

 

Kinda hard to explain...

But Daniel pretty much summed it up in his post.

Brian certainly knows his sh*t! Such a shame he doesnt post here anymore. He may be back one, ya just never know.

 

+2 (oh, and Rifledriver/Brian Crall is the same person)

 

Yep, that about sums it up! well, that and I have a new girlfriend!
I lurk sometimes, havnt seen anything to chime in on for a while... but i'm still here!
Thanks for thinkin about me tho Roberto, I hope all is well with you buddy!

 

Man Daniel you have to be the most diplomatic guy I know hahaha.

Allow me to rephrase that answer: He got tired of all the f..ck wades and know it alls arguing with him when he was trying to answer a question. Sometimes he would call it like he sees it and some couldn't handle being slapped down for being stupid. We all get the chance to be stupid it was hard for some to be called on it.

 

I talk to him occasionally over at the other place..He is very active there...He is a GREAT resource for all things Ferrari!!!

 

So what is the "other Place"? Or are we forbidden to name it.........

 

Its like a forbidden fruit to mention the "other place" around here.

 

They got a life...unlike us!!

 

I actually knew the answer I just didn't want to admit it to myself...

 

Hey buddy I was about to send out the Vegas CSI team after you...

All is good with me just trying to get my split with my ex GF over and done with.

New gal Eh! you know the rules pics please.. does she have a sister?..

Glad to see your still hear.

 

Same person

He and I got into it, and he decided to split. Here is the thread with the play by play http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151532 Though he is still here in pm-land. He last logged in yesterday. So he's still around just not posting.

 

Hey, I'm still around. I've been a little busy, at work, at home, and went on vacation. I've been landscaping the back yard and had to chop down ten trees, grind the stumps, and then dig up the remnants. I also put the Porsche (high maintenance) back on the road when premium gas hit $5. The Ferrari is running great, I try to drive it to church every Sunday, then brunch, then a quick run to the beach or up my favorite mountain road, Harris Grade. I log on and lurk pretty reugularly, but I've been also wrenching on the Vette a lot. I'm also a politician, running for reelection to my local community college board of trustees and helping on the Barack Obama campaign. OK, here come the flames. Just been a little busy. How are you guys? Thanks for checking on me.

Good to see you are keeping busy Bee Jay!

We miss ya around here buddy.

 

BeeJay, Steve,

As PAP said.... we've missed you guys....

Hope all is well...

Brian and another great F-chatter hardly visit F-chat anymore and I can't say I don't blame them. Several posts from people who don't even own the cars would post information that is/was extremely inaccurate. And when the true experts (such as Brian) would try and explain a technical solution/reason others would challenge their knowledge to the point of ridiculing them. Mind boggling. For awhile there reading some of the posts, it almost seem like owning a Toyota was more expensive than owning a Ferrari, kind of a joke but you get the point. Yeah, we've lost some knowledgeable folks and its too bad for all of us.
