Title: Ye Ole Vehicle Reviews
Post by: JoeIndex on February 21, 2007, 11:51:01 PM: Well, not sure if any of here ever looked at my old - and now defunct - Cobra Emporium site, but people always seemed to enjoy the vehicle reviews I had on there (that or they were pandering to me, which is perfectly acceptable too :wink:) so after a short and very unscientific poll I decided to put them back online. Only the reviews are up so if you can find your way to the front page (easy to do but there's no direct links that work) nothing you click on except for the vehicle review link will work. Just an FYI until I get some time to redo the index page there.

Anyway, if you're interest, check em out. They're pretty old by this point so some thoughts and opinions might have changed. Maybe. :D

And try to ignore the grammatical errors. I wrote a bunch without any sort of word processing software so some are rife with errors. I tried to fix them up as I caught them but a lot slipped through.

I'll re-add the images slowly over time. I'll probably have to rename/resize a few. There's currently 17+mb of images saved so will add them as I can.

Anyway, I'm rambling... you can find the reviews that are up here (http://http://cobraemporium.thejoeindex.com/reviews/reviews.html).

Oh, and best vehicle review on the site:

As for that Rat review, I can only laugh. I still get a kick out the Dino-Hunter Review. I need to re-write some of the older ones that I did when I used to post them on the Pit mailing list years ago. You can tell which ones they are because they're really short because they were sent via emails so didn't get too long winded.

Post by: JoeIndex on February 23, 2007, 10:03:35 AM: Glad you guys like the reviews. I'd forgotten what I wrote for most of them, so I've been really enjoying rereading them when I can.

Yeah, I haven't uploaded the images yet. There's a lot to go through and some I might need to rename/change so I just haven't gotten that far. Have 17+mb of review related images so have to deal with them as I can.
