[s-cars] look for contributors to new audiwebsitewww.audiportal.com

[David K. Blumenkranz]

look,
you see all the pictures....
they have the website names on the bottom of them.
which means that i am giving credit and a free plug.
the cars i took off of s cars were once posted by their users.
pictures posted by hap maguire.
who has helped me with some exhaust issues and i have spoken to first hand.
i truly didn't think anyone would have a problem.
i have some random pictures that i took myself as well as found in
places i cant remember, which is why i have a disclaimer saying i will
remove them.

did i trash tap?
i simply said that most newbies end up getting pushed toward there
because of s-cars and urs4. i mean for years you could see the same
web designers did tap and s-cars, it wasn't exactly discrete.

for anyone of you thinking that i'm bashing s-cars i support them i always have.

i have had a tap chip and wastegate
and i personally think the chips where harming my car.
most people will agree.
so take it as you will.
guys like minhea and other people never get exposed the way they should.

And i didn't accuse darin, i built this site in 3 days,
i haven't even gotten around to getting much done.
i want to have s-cars involved within this portal.
but i will get this done one way or another.

i sent out a message here because i thought i would get encouragement and help.

but its obvious there is an inner circle of people that don't want any ripples.
unless i am totally missing something here.

for anyone else that wants to help out and wants the ability to get
with a fresh new site at the beginning please let me know.

if you see your car on here and you can show me the original source i
will remove it should you want that done.

And what am i attempting?
to build anotehr audi site taht we can all enjoy
man i am a monster!
