First of all... Get rid of the Rover 45 displayed at the top!!

Secondly... Why the new site? I heard no comments on MW about the contents... or is it simply to build up a following and then sell the site?????

Sell the site? Now why didn't I think of that one? :rolleyes:

Smiler,

Wasn't it around October that the news broke about someone being interested in acquiring Motorweb? If I remember correctly , certain Motorweb contributors were mighty curious. In the "About Us" section, it says -

"October 1999....We were frequent users of other motor web sites, but quickly became dissatisfied with their 'flat feel' and unimaginative interfaces..."

This can quickly be translated to -

"October 1999...We were frequent users of a particular website, but quickly copped on that someone was going to make a pot of cash off our backs - we decided to do the same."

With a few extra gifs thrown in and some Flash work, sure doesn't it look like an entirely different site now begorrah?

What I'd like to know is, who was involved in setting eForecourt up? BTW, fair play to ye in getting this up and running.

J.

John M, nice to see that you've still got a sense of humour. Now I seem to remember suddenly requiring the services of a good accountant - how good are you with offshore accounts again? ;)

It's just no good - I can't take it no longer! I mean, Whip, does this mean you won't be able to slag off any of us ever again?! You just seem to be sooo nice over here on this front yard ;)

Fear not for 'Slag' is my middle name, and my foul mouth is reeling with expletives. I just need some more winding up before I bucking burst. God help whoever gets the brunt of it. http://www.eforecourt.com/UBB/angryfire.gif
