As you have noticed, there has been a few hours of downtime on this site. Not only this site, my whole server and the data centre it is hosted at Seems as though they have been the target of a very large DDoS attack (roughly 400,000 packets a second). They do have in place some anti-DDos equipment, howver these packets where in a strange format, causing them not to be recognised and the packets to casue issues. I hope it's sorted now, and sorry for the delays!

Hi.

Our area meet is at the Park hotel Diss Sunday 14th May. followed by a convoy trip to the Wings and wheels event at Henham park ,Henham,Suffolk.

Free admission to kit car drivers.

show information.

The weather has been booked so get yourself along to the meet.

Anyone fancy a trip to Poole for the Bank Holiday weekend? PooleFest is music centred event in Poole Park. For the last two years top of the bill was Mungo Jerry with support from some excellent local bands. I think they are there again this year.

There are other attractions there too, a small funfare, sundry trade stalls selling all sorts of stuff and, last year, Southern Hoods. Only two of us, but we generated a lot of interest with one complete and one part built car, more than the classic stand that was near us. I hope this year that we can have a bigger stand with more cars.

I can provide camping for about four tents in my garden if anyone is interested or there is no shortage of B&Bs. There is also a commercial camping site not too far away.

If you are intersted drop me a PM.

Colin

Well yet again I've had another of my forums hacked (not this one) and a viri added to it alongside sending an email to 250 of my users! This is just a caution, but PLEASE make sure you have a fully uptodate virus detection system running on your PC (I can highly reccomend AVG at http://www.grisoft.com which is FREE for personal use), and also if you get any emails that have .EXE files in them - delete at once unless you are 10000000% sure of what it is.

Take care!

Forum upgrade soon - In fact I've been looking at the new phpBB3 version http://communitynew.rhocar.org/phpBB2/ and other forum software to bring us uptodate (SMF IPB etc.)
