Something we might consider is making a Discord server as a backup or rallying point just in case. We made one for a graphics forum I'm on and sure enough, a year later the site was shut down. The Discord server became or hub or 'fire point' and the core membership kept in touch via it.

I've used https://new.imagehostx.com/upload.php for years and it's been rock solid and free of sleazeware, popups, popunders, redirects and so on.

No. The person I chatted with said only that it was something they might consider in the future. I wonder how this site pays it's bills. I don't see any advertising, although I do have every ad blocker known to humankind installed. I even have anti-ad blocker blockers.

I'm aware of that. I know of plenty of sites that, as you described, are full of 404 images. I mentioned to the mods here that they might want to offer paid memberships to help out with server costs. It would be a kind of patron program. My vintage car forum does that to defray costs. I'd gladly pay a yearly fee.

A practice that's common in graphics forums is to use image hosting services. You only see the thumbnail in the forum and the full size image loads when you select the thumb. It saves a TON of server space and bandwidth.

This model (the car, not the lady) was referred to as the 'Lusso' or luxury touring version. I knew a gent in Halifax in the 70's who had one and got a drive in it. Back then they where affordable. Nowadays they fetch tens of millions.

Thanks Danny-19. 👍

From my hard drive choking collection of bridal magazine scans. Modern Bride June-July 1988.

Sophie Matheisen (Modern Bride 1997)

Here's a bunch of her appearances in various bridal magazines. Date and publication are in the file name.

I'm helping Cea Person ID some ladies she worked with when she modeled for Demetrios out of Montreal in the late 80's and early 90's. I've gotten one so far but here's one that I'm having trouble with. The first shot (left) she named 'Leanne somebody'. The closest I can find is Nancy Dutiel (right). Is it indeed Nancy or should I keep looking? Thanks! Oh...by the way, what/where are these 10 free searches someone mentioned? Thanks again!

Thanks for the 'Christina' card. The lower images are from an old lingerie (Maidenform?) ad I've always wondered about.

FOUND!!!!😁 She's Cea Person, and a fellow Canuck. See her thread here.... https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/122099-cea-sunrise-person/

There was someone here (BlueAcadia) who was arranging to buy the collection two years ago and I got into the act as I had a connection to someone who brought a container from the UK to Canada with vintage British car parts. Once it got here I would pick it up, get it across the border into Maine where it would be shipped to the buyer on the US West coast. Unfortunately it was sold to someone in the UK while we where getting the arrangements made. I keep searching, but the collection doesn't seem to have been put online yet. I'd certainly pay for access.

I just caught the diff reference....Here's a 2:88 diff from an XJ6 that I stuck in my E-Type. I checked the lash and it was fine. All I did was replace the oil seals and rear gasket. The original 3:30 was horrible on the highway.
