As part of the un-vocal minority, thanks so much for all that you have done Lance. I think I was one of the first 100 members when the Contour List-Serv was started up on the American University site. I had been seeking Contour enthusiasts on the Car & Driver site when Ray McNairy and Nick Dinatale recruited me to the mail list.
Then you came on board Lance, with tons o' questions regarding your Tour (of which I'm still partial to midnight blue '95 SE's being a former owner). Ray, OF Emeritus, was there to guide all of us in his own special way - damn do I miss his quips.
I've never been one to post much and hope that things don't fall apart in the time it takes for Contour.org to (hopefully) reappear. It's been a lot of hard, thankless work on your part to keep this up and running, and I'm sad to see it go.
It's been an invaluable source to me when I needed Terry's help to rebuild my tranny. I would have never known Terry existed, let alone thought of shipping my tranny out to MI rather than having it fixed here in NJ at some schlock-house repair shop. As recently as last week, the Problems section came to the rescue when my clockspring went on me. This site has saved so many of us countless repair $$$'s, on top of the comeraderie and friendships that have come about.
So to all, best of luck. I hope our Tours don't fall into disrepair without this site. To Lance and the moderators who have made this site possible, thank you even though I have never met you.
Best regards and ta for now.
