So I had to use "wayback", and internet achieve site in order to locate this .rar file i was looking for, and while i was at it i decided to type in the samba url just to see what the site used to look at. Just thought i'd share some screen shots. The dates are at the top of the page.

When I have no new mail, it always says i have 11 unopened emails. Somewhere far back are those emails. So I've just gotten used to replacing 0 with 11 _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

Hahaha, I like that pic though, I'm not sure it's in the gallery here.
I still have all of the code that runs this old version of the site, I can probably ditch it now?
It's not the PHP language that the site runs on now and can't be used at all. _________________ How to Post Photos

Not sure it was ever on 3.5" disks. I did used to have a stack of CD-ROM discs as back ups _________________ How to Post Photos

Almost perfect spelen Mark.
If you had just put one more space between the K-Y.

The '99 was before my time, but the 04 and 05 is what I remember scrolling through for hours on end, dreaming mostly. But also enjoying the moss pit that was RR. Was the days of JHC too _________________ Always chasing Squirrel's. |

Long long ago in the beginnings of the Interwebs I was on a forum called "Busgirl" it was around '96-'98-always wondered if the Samba had roots from her.... _________________ '56 pan Dune Buggy since '69
