Re: blank key source

Johnny, when you say "Merkur logo tibbie blanks" are you talking about the plastic-headed keys without the light? Those would have to be repros (unless somebody finds a hidden stash), but Ford ones are still available and I believe blank ones also may be if one cared to try branding them, ...

Re: BAD PAY JEFF WEBB

I've always had good transactions with Jeff, including some major purchases where delivery took more than a year entirely due to me. In fact, he ended up delivering the parts to the West Coast.

Re: Ecoboost Crate Engines

Drove a C-Max for a week and barely got to 34mpg after being assured it would do 47 on the highway. Also, the regen brakes feel weird. It did seem to do good around town.
SL and SEL Focus' I've had easily hit 34~36 average no matter how hard I drove.

Got another e-mail from Erik - he's away from home but still working it. He needs to update the skin to match the updated version of the forum, then test the updated forum version. No ETA.

Re: Whats going on over at MS??

The forums index is there, and it's possible to navigate to the sub-forums by trail and error, but I can't get to the message threads.
