COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Welcome back, C&B! I think it would be an understatement to say that you were missed around here the last 2 years. This site has gone under a transformation of sorts, with a lot of newer members contributing more on a daily basis. This is a good thing, as new blood is always welcome. That being said, the older members are still here, they're just not on here as much, but with you back in the mix, I'm sure they'll be back. As for myself, I'm in a much better place then I was two years ago, my girlfriend is back after 3 years of being "away" and financially, my business is doing better than ever. Very glad to see you back on here, I look forward to your contributions once again. Hey mvnyc! Hows it going?! I'm sooo happy that your doing better than the last time we wrote. Sounds like your doing well! I hope the older members will check back in from time to time, and stick around. It gets hard for some to write about a 30 year old show, but, I just seem to always have something new to give. We will talk pal. Keep in touch with me.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Coop, whoa! Welcome back to your Vice home! Flabbergasted. Yeah, we had umpteen threads hoping you were ok. Vigils, conspiracy theories, everything. If there was anything negative in the past here, thank you for letting it go and coming back. Thanks, Victor, for getting me the word. I'll try and hang out more. cageyJG, my old friend! One of the reasons I returned at this time was after checking in on this site for the first time since I left, I wanted to see what was going on with the site. I found two threads about me, and couldn't believe what I was reading. I'm not a particularly special person, and I am very private, but so many people were curious about where I was. The reading was facinating....and humbling. Was I dead, dying, on a long vacation, moved on, lets look for him on facebook, should a private dectective track him down....It's sureal. I was thinking, perhaps I should pop in, let them know I'm fine, but was a bit burned out, and needed a break for a few reasons. Then, I read something you said on one of the threads, something to the effect of what you wrote above, "If there is something negative in the past, hopefully you can let it go, and come back." Something along those lines. There are some negative things that I will never discuss on the forum due to privacy reasons, but I decided to give it another go, and see if this goes a bit differently. You sure had some very, VERY kind words for me. Thank you. I'm sincerely touched. -COOP Edited January 29, 2015 by COOPER&BURNETT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Welcome back, Pal! This website wasn't the same without you! It wouldn't be the same without you either Yann529!Great to hear from you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi Coop, welcome back. Glad, you're back. As James said, we had some serious trouble with our website and we are using a new forum software. That's why it shows "only" 14000 posts instead of 18000 before. It's a counter issue, no posts are missing.Can the missing 4 thousand post counts be put back? That's a lot of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Welcome back Coop this place was not the same without you. HI!! That's very kind of you.

We need all of the members to be here to remain a strong family. We need everyone's participation, and involvement. I like, and respect yours.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Welcome back Coop!Hope you got a tan on your vacation?Looking forward to seeing any new stuff you managed to gather.I blew the starboard engine in the boat so I wasn't in the water last summer. Looking to re-power it this spring so I should get it wet this summer hopefully.Looked at about a dozen cars (Daytona's) in the time you were gone and frankly I would not pay five grand for one of them!!! Very disappointed in my attempt to find a good unit to buy. sadly the cars are aging out and it will be a hard find to finally aquire a Daytona to my liking.You still driving the Spyder? Looking forward to your posts....Heeey my brother, I certainly missed you! I thought about you while I was gone, wondering how that monster machine of yours was doing. Sorry to hear about your engine. Sucks. Still no Daytona eh? Well, ...me neither! I'm still driving the Spider. It's a good car. I hope you get the boat up and running in the spring. How's the little boat? We've got some catching up to do Pal! -COOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah its been quite some time with all the crazy stuff that's happened and I'm kind of in break mode, as I literally just dug out after the major storm. and I've been trying to keep the threads alive with the car thread, the daytona thread and the other things, like the guide to the V8 replicas, although I should have named that differently, and thus I have been taking a break for a few days. as writing that much does wear me out, I enjoy it but jesus, I must have written 6 books worth of words alone there lol. as I've been following the resto of a 1956 Caddie and other things, as I just found the petrolicious channel https://www.youtube.com/user/PetroliciousCo/videoshttps://www.youtube.com/user/TheCorvetteBen/videos I mean my god that lancia flaminia plus recooping after 2012 and the after effects of that year. I mean that year sucked and it was truly spirit crushing, short version, year of hope my ass lol although I may have one upped you on something, I managed to get a hold of a make up edolin 1/43 Scale Model of the TR, something I had been looking for, for a few years really, the rare vice model they made. http://miamiviceonline.com/index.php/gallery/image/3433-a4/ only a 150 made. and it was just dumb luck it showed up when it did, although those are the photos from the ebay ad that I bought it from, and I should take some new ones of it now. oh and also still no bloody bren ten lol, but Sig Sauer is making a 220 in 10mm for this year, in the beautiful beadblasted Elite model no less, just like the 4506. and I need to start watching the show again.Hey bud! I hear ya, writing wears me out too (I really have over 18 thousand posts on this website, I certainly know what you mean), but I also love making people happy by sharing with them things they want to know. That's why we do it. Your certainly DID up me with that beautiful TR! WOW! I'm so proud of you for getting that! You deserve it. You deserve the best! You lucky dog... Yep, I've kept up with the no show bren ten and the many excuses. I've given up on it. That Lancia is SWEET WITH A CAPITAL "S"! Your auto threads, and info is INVALUABLE to us here, and to anyone who reads it. You've got the touch. It's labor, but a labor of love.

mvnyc Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey C&B, I have a question: A number of years ago, someone had an acrylic map of Miami that was used in the OCB on the show, did you ever buy it? That was one rare piece I wish I had bought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandina Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ciao! I'm very happy that you're back and that nothing bad happened to you.If I remember well you left around this days in January 2 years ago, so perfect timing for a return. I haven't been here recently, so I didn't know I had the option active to receive email notifications when someone added me as friend.I saw that email this morning, while going to work, I was like COSA??? (WHAT???). It was a great surprise that cheered up my grumpy start of the day. As for me, I'm fine and happy and sometimes it's not easy to be happy because of the climate of depression that is gripping Italy.I try to do things, small or big, that give me happiness in return.Small things, like spending time with my friends and family, wrapping myself in a cosy sweater on cold winter evenings, having fun and fans on Flickr.And also big things, like finally making the trip that was #2 in my dreams! What else? I watch and love Vice, as always. Welcome back, Coop, and stay with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the daytona being found was real. I watched the show, and the dent in the framework seemed to be right, and the fact that Mcburnie said he believed it was one of his cars, I figured it was real. Can't wait to read the REAL story!! I LOVE, absolutely LOVE Daytonas!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
