On another note I'm going back down to Lewes in Sussex for two weeks over Christmas to see the family and was wondering if you minded me dropping in to have a look at your restoration JubileeNut.
I am sure if I am around I could meet you where the car is but it is not where I live!
It is at my Mum's place as she had a nice large garage which meant I could throw all my spanners about and miss the car :wink:
I live in Worthing and the car is in Storrington West Sussex.

I have no worries about people finding it as they have to get past a large DOG! But it is in the sticks and very peaceful 8)

Hah! Thats fine! I will PM you when I'm back down south...one last week of work until the holiday alas.

Ahhh the parents the place to store all your junk! Left several years ago but they still have a loft full of my stuff that they ask me to take back with me every time I visit! Now I'm thirty maybe I should look into that :D

No disrespect intended guys but what else do you expect with a website that is more basic than a Marina? I’m very surprised it hasn’t been hacked before now…

Was not down for long, back up this morning so well done to probably Chris.

They can keep trying to put us down but makes no difference so they will get bored and go back to their simple lives :roll: :lol:

I am sure you are correct Sean.
I am amazed and would not of thought the wally who did this had any or enough intelligence to lace up his own shoes, unfortunately he could only manage to hack such a simple site so there we have it - he is thick as a brick and less of a personality to go with it:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
BL Classic's site is very well hidden, so much so that most of us on here won't know about it, which helps keep it from getting hacked. I am sure if it got put in the lime light someone would have a go!
I am sure the new site will be better.

All,

The Club's Web Host detected the hack and had sorted it out by the time I had read this string, so I can't claim any credit for this. I haven't even seen what was on there, can someone PM me a description of what was coming up please?

I have spoken to the Web Host and they confirm that they had an attack that affected a number of websites, not specific to MMOC, so the TG conspiracy theory is wrong on this occaision. The problem was overcome and the Web Host's security has been upgraded to avoid a reoccurance of the same thing. They are not aware of any virus's, trojans etc. as a result of the hack.

They also handle my own web-space and in the 8 years I have been with them, this is the first occurance I have had.

Had the name Heart_Hunter and also something about H4ckz.net

I would not worry if it is all back up. It will only be some sad loser with no mates who tried to do it, no one else has the time to waste on such a pointless task.
