Mr. Sfoskett

I have no idea what I'm doing here. I wanted to contact you regarding your contributions & sources on the F150 page, but can't seem to find an e-mail for you in any of these pages. Forgive me for touching your page, but could you possibly e-mail me so that we may speak? Thank you, rfletcher@truckairbedz.com

[edit] D2C Page Edit

Just informing you that I revised the D2C page to correctly indicate that platforms commonality with DEW98 according to statements made by Mustang Design Program Chief Engineer Hau Thai Tang in an interview with Motor Trend. For a direct quote of what Mr. Tang said

...........Thai-Tang adds that "at the component level, there's about 35-percent reusability from other Ford products. But in terms of pure DEW98 carryover, there's not a lot; the front chassis rail architecture, floorpans, trans tunnel, saddle-style fuel tanks are similar. The rest is new.".........

While Mr. Tang states that this is not a lot of commonality overall, the above, along with the unique roof structure the S197 would have to employ, constitutes the majority of the actual platform. This, along with the fact that D2C must have began with DEW98 as a basis for the above to have occured, makes it impossible for D2C to have been sourced from C1. Also keep in mind that Mr. Tang is stricly discussing parts carried over virtually intact in this statement.

Other components which had to be DEW98 based due to the use of DEW98 engineering hardpoints, like the firewall, but were so heavily modified that they possess little resemblence to their equivelant DEW98 components, and which Mr. Tang was not addressing, are still DEW98 based regardless. And since we know that D2C began on DEW98, we also know that it must share engineering hardpoints with DEW98. Amnd as you likely know these have been employed as a measure to demonstrate platform lineage for decades.

Thanks;

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi Sfoskett, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Sfoskett]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 04:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] '1965' Studebaker convertible is actually a '64 -- Caption changed

Please be aware that I have changed the caption in the Studebaker Lark article of the '1965' convertible. Since there were no 1965 convertibles, this would be a 1964. -- Thanks. TeemPlayer 10:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lincoln Continental Mark III misidentified

Hi, you added a picture of what you thought was a black 1969 Mark III to the 1968.5-1969 section of the Lincoln Continental Mark III article. The car in the picture is actually a 1970 Mark III with 1969 wheel covers. I am sure the incorrect wheel covers lead to your confusion, but the front parking light lenses and the interior seat pattern clearly identifies the vehicle as a 1970 model. 76spirit 19:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] honda template

I was surfing around Wikipedia and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Template:Modern Honda vehicles. I'm far from a car fanatic but the template is really easy to understand and interact with, kudos. Vicarious 09:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Converters

Hi , i saw you have made these AUTO PS etc convert templates, just wondering if you could do also bhp to kW and even PS converters. We had small discussion here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alfa_Romeo_Giulietta --Typ932 14:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queen Mary & sub: photo

Because of the low light, your Wikicommons photo of the Queen Mary alongside the B-427 doesn't allow the sub to be seen clearly, especially in the thumbnail preview. I took a daytime photo from almost exactly the same vantage point. What do you think... dodge the original in PS, or replace it? — VoxLuna ^{T / C} 01:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
