Wait, hold up... you have Alpine?!?!

Yes, ordered last year when they announced they were closing the order books for the ICE versions as they're moving over to EV platform. It arrived just before Christmas, picked it up in April. Went a bit crazy with options but wanted the best GTS.. I have posted photos in Sunday Top Trumps thread.

I still have my BRZEEEEE and the Integrale.. nice 3 car garage..

Hadn't checked the forum for about 2 weeks while we were in Florida running "Camp Grandma and Grandpa" for our two grandchildren between summer camps and school starting back up.

Shows how much things have slowed down, as there was less than a page of "New Posts" when I checked. In the heyday, being gone for two weeks would have taken forever if you wanted to catch up.

Yeah, forums are dying. A lot of younger generation prefer to use social media instead. Which often have hard time finding some good resources... but c'est la vie

Or, the site owners are getting a better return with fewer problems via the social media sites like Farcebook et al. I know several clubs that closed down their websites and forums to switch to Farcebook. Even with a huge drop in membership they still won’t go back to hosting their own sites.

There is about 3 FB groups Im in that I like. They are all over my head lol. Watching someone post updates on their home brew carbon wide body track build is pretty interesting. Or 3d printing a wing in section then wrapping it in carbon to make their own aero.
