I tried to go to the Cimorelli Model T site and got something completely different, has the site been hijacked? :(

I had the same trouble a few days ago. I was hoping it was a glitch in the system just that day.

I will have to go look, but I think it is hosted by the International club. Might check there. Never mind, their whole teck section shows the same thing.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

The last time I went to it it didn’t look like it was updated or is in use. That was a few months ago but after looking again today it wouldn’t come up at all.
I’m not really versed in web sites or how they operate but it would seem like someone would have to keep up with it to see what’s going on.

I just tried several different links to different parts of his listings, and none worked for me.

I had emailed the administrator of www.modelt.org, the Model T Ford Club International, to see if they supported the site and they said they do not.

The company (The Endurance International Group, Inc) that hosted the website www.cimorelli.com was purchased by Clearlake Capital Group L.P. recently. Its likely that this caused the outage, possibly caused by users needing to decide to stay with the new company or go elsewhere. Clearlake owns many name brands and established a new company for the the brands previously owned by ETG. The most popular one is BLUEHOST
