There were some great technical stuff on there, especially for the older cars

So what happened? could we some how help to save the content...

Think they just stopped last year as no one was going on...Sure I saw a thread on it somewhere.

Out of disk space right now. It's sort of bounced up and down.

Only way to get the data would be if the owners gave us a dump of the SQL DB at the back end, or the site stays up long enough for someone to set an automated spider to crawl it :(

I still visit most weeks and the error page comes up almost as frequently...sadly not being monitored or supported by its owner.

My last post were just before Christmas.

I have offered to buy the data on several occasions with Gav, the guy who started it and merge it here to save it but the owner values the site at £25k which frankly is ridiculous.

Someone bought it from Gav in a healthy state for a couple of grand then let it decline and then sold it on to the current owner.

I’ll keep trying but if it hadn’t declined then SportsMaserati would never have come about so hopefully you all agree some good came from it.

Agreed, a lot of good info on there. I started off using it years back, usually good, though sometimes could get a bit heated! lol.
