Hi Bugas
I want to express words of gratitude and appreciation to the hard work and efforts of the person and or people in administration, who have kept such a website, a wealth of information and history, alive for all Bedford enthusiasts.
I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR WORK!!!
As most long term buga members can only now remember the good old days browsing thru our old gallery,reminiscing threw the thousands of pictures of yesteryears beddies and the painstaking devotion of a restoration in progress.
I feel if everyone can express their thoughts and words of appreciation and encouragement to admin,
Maybe we may have our gallery back for all to enjoy once more.
Regards
Wendy & Ray

Shane is the owner of BUGA, from what I understand he has been real busy with work of late.
I think he needs to recode the old gallery to work with this new forum. I think it was started but not sure how far it got.
-
Yeah i appreciate it all but enough time has gone by
What do we want?
Our galleries back!
When do we want it?
NOW!
-
Yeah i did email him a few times earlier this year and he said he started a new job that took up a lot of his time...
but we are all REALLY MISSING IT... :(
withdrawal symptoms are really bad now....

....and alas, a deep sadness fell upon the community of BUGA,
for their 'Great Gallery' had vanished without trace during battle.
As the months melted away, they feared that their ship no longer
had a Captain and that they would shurely perish.
The Taskmaster David and a couple of devoted warriors sent for word
on Captain Shane, only to hear that he was bravely fighting demons in
Workland. Many of the BUGA people still held hope that their Captain
would return victorious, armed with the weapons needed to rescue the
Great Gallery from exile.

-

I'm sure Shane has lots of better things to do than copy faceless book.
But seriously, happy to throw some $$ to help get the gallery back if that's what's needed...
Just wish I had better 'puter skills..... :) :) :)
-
Ditto, Rumax... Can we employ a administrator? Not too savvy myself re this matter
-
consider it signed
id like to see the galleries back, easier said than done though
i miss the old school pics
but i have no skills to offer

I agree guys. Not having the gallery up robs us of some valuable technical know how. Shane if you can reply to this discussion it would be good to hear from you.Then we maybe able to help. Over the last few months our mob in W.A have had some new members join and it is frustrating that there are no gallery pics up for them to see what other guys have got and done to their rides. Shane the job you have done on the new site is fantastic we just need the final piece of the jigsaw to finish it off. This issue of the gallery will only become a pain in the arse the longer it goes on. TELL US what we need to do or get some one in who can get it up and running. Don't let this become a thorn in your side buddy talk to us.... :) Many thanks ..John Abbott (Perth)

well said John....
-
I had trouble putting up my own pictures lol
never enough time in the day guess hes a busy man BUT the pics are good for ideas & reminisce so yeh be good to see them back
-
please add your expressions of interest in seeing our gallery back...
-
Ok, I would love to see the Gallery back up, always searched through it, but at the same time we need to be fair to Shane, I am sure he has already put a lot into this site. So I feel we need to hear back from Shane, and get his side of the story first, and what he needs to do and how we can help towards it, donation, or IT help from people on here.
So Shane please let us know where this stands, and let's take it from there.....
-
I will gladly pledge $50
To give to shane to help pay for someone to help him get galleries back up.
Donations might be the go.
Shane has done a great job getting Buga up
Might be time to help him out if we members want our beddy site to get better?
I miss being able to check out other cool vans for inspiration and ideas.
Cheers marty

I'm no IT expert, but sounds like a new platform may be in order, 30hr's work to integrate???? It would of been good of Shane to spend 5mins on here and explained this himself... but we are all very grateful for all his work so far
