ClassicCar

Ladies and gentlemen,

I thought I'd write and let you know that this is my last week at ClassicCar, making it also my last week looking after the Forums here. I had already let the Forum moderators know, but thought it best also to say a proper goodbye out here in the open.

The simple matter is that my contract is up, and I am looking at other opportunities, either closer to home (it's been close to a 200 kilometre / 124 mile round trip to the office each day), or even going back down south to my old hometown of Sydney. I'm up to 2nd and 3rd interviews for 4 roles, so things are looking good. I also have my own consumer electronics website to look after, and I expect to be soon starting up another website of my own, in the area of sports technology (I did my first marathon last month, and the idea of combining my love and knowledge of the worlds of gadgets and sports is appealing), which will be a .com website, written with a US and world readership in mind, rather than mainly Australian.

I'd like to say thank you all for your support during my stewardship, and hope to hear that the forum continues its growth and level of engagement. And keep those Hudsons going! I loved seeing all the pictures of the wonderful old cars at your just-held National Meet. Hudson wasn't a marque I knew much about, and first came to know more through research after watching Pixar's "Cars" - a film my 5-year-old son has watched so very many times - and then through daily reading of all the discussions on this forum.

So I have five more days here, and then in the interim Ben Flux will be the ClassicCar contact for Forum matters. Again, I hope to hear tell of a lively, growing Forum in the future, with all things Hudson and more discussed in a lively, knowledgeable, helpful and respectful manner.
