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.

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.

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

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....
