We Were so Much Dumber Then, We're Smarter Than That Now!

Postby Peter_W » Wed 24.08.2011, 05:43

Sung to the tune of Bob Dylan's "My Back Pages"

The long termers here will remember the old LEC site with the message board that would scroll like a continuous roll of papyrus. I came across a download of the "June 2002 Lotus Elan Central Main Message Board" on my portable backup hard drive. What a hoot! Many familiar names and interesting posts, including Bill "Isuzu" :D.

Thanks! Great stuff - like watching the old home movies - super 8, no sound, on the old Bell and Howell projector. What? You would rather view slides? OK, we can watch slides...
