I just want to say... Reply #18 – March 09, 2018, 02:41:25 PM Well , we are way older than then. I learnt how to fix my ever-breaking cougar every weekend. I still have it, but i has not run since 2005. City Hall towed from the front of parents house, got them back and parked at the driveaway from dad´s apartment...i simply cant get rid of it, these cars are unforgettable.So, to speak something, i remember some troublesome guys...I havent been here when the TomRenzomania was here, but i saw it was pretty controversial...I remember when Ben (Bird351) was here...he had no problems whatsoever voicing his opinion very loudly...but i liked the guy....Another kid like me was 84Fila...some troubles he had here with Eric...last time i heard from him he was deployed to the army or So...But not all were bad guys, i remember too , Eric sent me a copy of a Tiger OSX DVD from Ohio like 14 years ago...it was virtually impossible to get even a pirated copy here at that time..i still owe him the postage stamps...Mr Burrows (Thunderchicken) helped me to track some problems with my car audio devices which were blowing every now and then...i remember him to want a turbo 5 cilinder volvo some years ago, and that did not go well..Tom and Scott (Turbocoupe50 and jcassity) helped me to learn about carburetors A LOT and that served me until this day...even that guy named Claude (CougarSE) which did a T5 swap in a 3.8Thats some to say a few, i remember more members but few names...i m just getting old... Heck, i learned english here... Quote Selected

Got into making spiritual candles and other unusual stuff for a man of his intelligence levelQuote from: MexCougar;464898Another kid like me was 84Fila...some troubles he had here with Eric...last time i heard from him he was deployed to the army or So...He tried to scam me for a convertible top motor. Baxo told him to get me a tracking number for the motor or he will be banned. Once I received the motor, Baxo banned him anyways. He wasn't a bad kid, just very misguided. Quote from: MexCougar;464898But not all were bad guys, i remember too , Eric sent me a copy of a Tiger OSX DVD from Ohio like 14 years ago...it was virtually impossible to get even a pirated copy here at that time..i still owe him the postage stamps...Mr Burrows (Thunderchicken) helped me to track some problems with my car audio devices which were blowing every now and then...i remember him to want a turbo 5 cilinder volvo some years ago, and that did not go well..Tom and Scott (Turbocoupe50 and jcassity) helped me to learn about carburetors A LOT and that served me until this day...even that guy named Claude (CougarSE) which did a T5 swap in a 3.8All of these old guys are still around. I think Claude bought a farm and still has his Cougar with the T5 swap. He and I spent hours researching part numbers and diagrams figuring out the T5 swap. That was a good timeQuote from: MexCougar;464898 Heck, i learned english here...It's funny you mention this, CougarCragar used to spend hours correcting my spelling and grammar that I eventually learned how to write very well. So I practically learned English here too. Quote Selected

He occasionally posts in the Facebook groups.Quote from: ThunderbirdSport302;464720Back in the early days, I remember weasel and his ed black Cougar...he'd done so much work to that thing...Were you around for when they were doing some blasting in his area, and showered his car with little rocks and he had to get it repainted?

I just want to say... Reply #22 – March 18, 2018, 05:44:08 AM I remember something about a repaint but the why of it eludes me. Is he still around, anyone in contact?There was another feller, down in south Missouri IIRC, had an '87-8 Cougar that he'd done a DIY TT setup on the 5.0, seems like his name was David. He was more active on the MN12 forum I believe, or maybe it was TCCOA. I was a meber at both way way way back when. Haven't been to either in probably 10 years now.Amazing, what the mind can recall in the small hours. Oh, we're expecting baby #4 sometime around mid-late November.Go me. Or something.Guess I need a new hobby. Maybe I'll take up knife sharpening and...perhaps some DIY vasectomy classes. LOL. Quote Selected

I just want to say... Reply #24 – March 19, 2018, 02:44:59 PM Well to everyone that still appreciates us, from all the admins, we thank you for hanging around here. And we also appreciate that most everyone is behaving well these days. QuoteI havent been here when the TomRenzomania was here, but i saw it was pretty controversial...Tom started off seeming to want to help people. But he did like to go off on his soapbox quite a bit. And Heaven forbid your opinion contradicted his. Problem was, he sometimes had good technical info, plus his long disappearances contributed to his longevity here. It's been peaceful without him, that's for sure.QuoteI remember when Ben (Bird351) was here...he had no problems whatsoever voicing his opinion very loudly...but i liked the guy....Well that would make one person that liked him. Ben played the 'poor me' card way too many times and always used that to his advantage. Then, like a Venus flytrap, he'd spring his derision at will. He was a true troll. Believe me when I say that there were many, many messages exchanged between the admins about him. I wanted him gone long before he was excised like the parasite that he was. Maybe by now he's dealt with his demons.QuoteAnother kid like me was 84Fila...some troubles he had here with Eric...last time i heard from him he was deployed to the army or So...My biggest issue with him was that he was local to me. I tried to take that kid under my wing and guide him, and he would just turn around and screw people over and make me look bad in the process. He was great at apologies but not at following through with promises, and quite a few people got burned. He did join the military but I never heard from him again. And for the record, he tried very hard to make a mountain out of a molehill with his Fila model. Granted, it's quite rare to find a decent one now, but his wasn't even decent back then.QuoteBut not all were bad guys, i remember too , Eric sent me a copy of a Tiger OSX DVD from Ohio like 14 years ago...it was virtually impossible to get even a pirated copy here at that time..i still owe him the postage stamps...You owe me nothing, it was my pleasure to help you out. I just would love to know why the post office in Mexico is just so sloooowwwwwwwwww.... :)QuoteHeck, i learned english here...And it's awesome, I'm so proud of you. By the way, your English was never bad, you must have had decent previous training. We just helped you refine it. Hopefully you've learned all the choice curse words from us! QuoteBack in the early days, I remember weasel and his ed black Cougar...he'd done so much work to that thing...LOL Yeah...Will isn't really active with the car in the last 5+ years. He got married a few years ago. He got back into running, like cross country-style. The car was supposed to get a twin turbo setup that was previously on a Mustang, but of course Will got screwed over on that deal. He's had a lot of bad luck, with both the car and life in general. But he takes it all in stride. That reminds me, I should call him soon. Need to invite him back to the board here.QuoteLaterz and takes her eazy.zOMG, I almost blew iced tea all over the screen when I read that. Alex and I still sign off of our chats with that! That's some funny stuff right there LOL. Quote Selected

Please don't let this forum die or change, there's too many knowledgeable people eager to help stupid people like me with these cars. This also is the only forum with love for the fox cougars.

Maybe by now he's dealt with his demons. Trust me, his demons got worse. I talked to him quite a bit even after he was banned. We eventually stopped talking, for no particular reason, but we were still friends on Facebook. He ended up dabbling in some weird , and then going on soap box rants where he tried to be vague, but everyone knew exactly who and what he was talking about. I ended up clicking "Unfriend".

Once CougarNuts died off, he slowly vanished into the darkness. Quote Selected
