Folks,
What in the heck is up with this site being linked to Armorama? This site is run by a communist (literally) who HATES America and her allies. Feel free to e-mail me off-site and I'll foreward an e-mail I got form this clown where he talks about destroying America. Given the make-up of most of our members and the focus of our interests, I think it's highly inappropriate to give this person any exposure.

I have to agree with you there.
Not necessarily that I care what he personally believes but the fact that he states such things openly on the front page of his site. It doesn’t seem like something Armorama would want to be part of.

I do not like the home page either BUT!!!!!!!!!!!! it is a good reference site for original photos and discriptions of vehicles. This is the reason it is there and if you don't want to visit it for whatever reason then don't. But I will continue to visit it for the reference material and just ignore the front page.

yes, the referance pics were good, there was also a pic of him with an english mate in a austin 7,which was nice. it would be a good little site apart from the left wing hate section. ideally the guy should have kept the two apart. i have my own views on situations in the world (not that extreme though) but you lot would'nt thank me for airing them on a modelling site.
its best he leaves quietly, as he seems to have been "encouraged" to do

Hey,
thanks for the support guys. To those who said they'd still visit the site: PLEASE read the statements he makes again and realize we don't need referrence material badly enough to support this person. Stalin in his time killed more of his own people than the nazis did (check your history). This Person is an unrepentant follow of stalin and his ilk. These people were (are) dedicated to the destruction of our country and all those that support us. I'll get down off my soap box now.
Thanks again!!

I was also surprised to see the ugly face of Russian nationalism had surfaced on that site. It's not the only place either, Alanger has some pretty unpleasant things to say about the Ukraine (a favourite Russian punchbag).
Then we should be shocked out of our cosy world-view sometimes, shouldn't we.

To be honest you had no need to get on your soap box in the first place as I can read. I can also ignore that that I do not like because for what ever reasons others do have the right to their own point of views even if I and a lot of others don't share those views.
As I said a very usefull reference site if you ignore the trash on the front page.

It doesn't matter how 'useful' the contents of his website. He spreads hate, and no matter how attractive he tries to make his site, a link to his kind of hate has no place on this website.

Oh it's not worth getting all upset over. The guy is to be pitied more than anything else as it seems pretty obvious (to me) that he has bought into the same type of brainwashing that starts the kind of trouble he is so violently against.
A hateful peace lover is an oxymoron (accent on the moron).

LOL you are correct as usual Boss :-) and I have to agree that folk that think the way the front page reads are to be pitied!
