MG TD TF 1500 - Photosite for TD 15470 Restoration

Hey Gang,

As most of you know, I closed the printing company, and another company purchased the rights to braunprinting.com. I guess when you sell the farm, eventually they ask you to move!

But more aggravating is the fact that I put the mg td 15470 restoration on the braunprinting.com website, not realizing that things were going to so radically change in my life. By tomorrow afternoon, to find my TD Restoration site you should be able to go to:

www.dbraun99.com. If it takes me a while to have the front page built, try www.dbraun99.com/mgtd15470/album

I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. I now have a domain name which isn't attached to my company, and is portable, so from here on out I should be set. I hope this is the last time you have to reorganize your favorites because of me.

Thanks and warm regards,

Dave Braun

Thanks Dave - your site has been a godsend for me as the car I purchased was already dismantled. I find I check your photos every step of the way as the other reference books I have just don't show the details as well as your photos.

Hello Dave,
No problem of course for us. We only have to change favorites and being able to reach your wonderful and valuable collection is fantastic.
I still remember your great enthousiasm some time ago when you installed your new printing equipment. I do hope the "selling' is good for you.
Does this mean that you are part of the retirement family now?

Here is the clickable link for the website, I don't have a front page as of yet.

Don, I'm grateful you took the time to express your feelings for the site. Thanks!

Huib, the business climate changed, and my mix of customers were looking for ways to cut back on publication costs! It was time to get out. I will be downsizing my life, and probably moving on with engineering, which pays pretty well, well enough to support my hobbies. I am pretty young yet, looking forward to 52 this year, so no retirement for quite a while for me!

warmly,
dave

I think I speak for all of us, and I have said it before, but it's worth saying again ---- Your website has been extremely valuable to me and I am very happy that you took the time to create it and that you are now going through the trouble to keep it accessable to all of us. This is especially amazing considering the fact that you are doing this in the midst of the changes you are making to your company.

If you intergated all of the written advice you have written on this BBS together with the pictures and captions from your website, you would create a restoration guide that would surpass all others.

Thank you!

Mike,

Thanks for you kind words. However, I would like to honestly point out that somehow you've missed all the posts where members have gently corrected my many misstatements. The collective wisdom and friendships on the board is what makes all of this worth while. Perhaps some day I will create the DVD that has all of the information (including great text from others, with permission of course) in one place, I'm afraid that the potential market will be rather small.

I enjoy having the site available, and I refer to it often when I'm at friends' helping them with their cars. But mostly I do it out of obligation to how much I have recieved from the hobby. I feels good to have a home for the site which is permanent...

warmly,
dave

OK!

Woke up this morning and decided to create the front page for the restoration site. But first I had to teach myself the rudiments of HTML programing. One of my former designers was going to help me but that struck me as unfair, given that she has struck out on her own (and doing very nicely) but she is very busy. In fact her business website is a case of the shoemaker's children going shoeless.

Any way, I digress. You can now go to the http://www.dbraun99.com/ and link to the photosite, look at the MGB GT I might restore, and some other stuff. I'll try to update the front page as I learn more about HTML.

warm regards,
and Happy Birthday Cecil
