How/Why did you find Lincolns Online?

[Steve Moran]

How?
I found it just by searching for Lincoln Continental, looked at some other Lincoln forums and decided to stick with this one.
Why?
I just purchased my first Conti and I had no knowledge of many of the systems. I still find many of the answers to my questions here.

[DaKat]

Hey - I like this topic ;)
I'd really be interested in knowing how everyone came to Lincolns OnLine - let's hear it!

[LXRY YOT]

Google Search on Mark VII. Then discovered from another site I think.

I was kidnapped by aliens and when I got back this site was the only thing my copmuter would let me have access to. I'm thinking it's some kind of evil conspiracy to take over the internet.

Now where did I put that bag of mushrooms...................??

Ditto! :D

I found this site during the 2 weeks I was obsessing whether to buy my junk yard rescue or not. :confused:

Things have been great ever since!

[Hizhonor]

I won a bid for my '92 TC and Googled for all the information I could find on it. This was the first Forum I came to and after reading many responses in the different areas of expertise, I knew this would be the best Forum for me to learn and meet other Lincoln owners. Today was one of those days. I met some really fine folks at a "Lincoln" meet 'n Eat today! :D

[AceFrehley03]

Bought a problematic Mark VII. Needed somewhere to go.

Used Elgoog. Enough said.

What he said.

[JoshMcMadMac]

Google. This site saved my MarkVII from getting trashed; or more trashed than it was when I got it! ;)

[Four Eyed Stangs]

I found it on the other snotty TC board that doesn't think TC's were made before the late 90's.

[waldbaro]

Google search. Was looking on info about Town Cars

[cason1]

Yahoo. My check engine light was on and I couldn't figure it out so I went searching and this was the easiest/ most user friendly Lincoln site I could find. Thanks Kat for such a fine site. :D

[in2fords]

Ive actually been lurking this site since feb. 2000 when I owned my 87MKVII, :eek: I had to sell it after a few months and just found the same car and made a offer, I got my baby back. Dont remember how I got here, ethier found this site on a search then found FVC or other way around?

[Joeychgo4]

I dont remember exactly, im sure I saw the link somewhere.

[pro-five-oh]

I remember some discussion about the creation of this site on the now dead "peak.net" Mark VII boards (I am an old timer, LOL!) and probably heard the same stuff when FvC first opened up, so I joined.

[RJ Sclafani]

Googled it! Seems a lot of people have this answer. I use google religiously, you can find anything on there.

Same here. I just purchased my 91 Conti last week. I'm very familiar with fords and this forum helps.

You're welcome ;)

[Conti94]

I was having elecrtical problems on my Conti and I was searching google and just found this site, so I joined, it's been great meeting everyone here and I enjoy talking to fellow Lincoln owners, and fans. Thanks to DaKat smile.gif

[Michael VII LSC/SE]

I Think I was surfing and needed a Topic. This was right after a Thanks-giving discussion of the VIII styling vs the VII and my Cousin called it a "Hot Rod Lincoln". So I Yahoo Mark VII, find a site for "Hot Rod Lincoln" and it had a link that lead me here and I joined months later when a question came up.

It's been good for me. :cool:

[RJ Sclafani]

I am so grateful to have found this site. I've met many new friends and acquaintances over the past 6 months and more knowledge than I ever got in school. Thanks a lot Lincolns Online Crew!

Thanks heavens I joined the Yahoo lincoln site ;)

[skarhed]

I have had Lincolns and Mercurys since forever but didn't use the web much. Was trying to find info on MK VII's, stumbled onto LSC SS's site and he had a link to here.
It's great to find a place devoted to these cars. LUV my Mark but want another Town Car too...

[Dereck]

Hi All

I was doing some mindless web sufing one day and sorta blundered in, had a look round saw some glaring BS that had to be put right and the rest is history.

I must be the only person not using Google smile.gif I use alltheweb.com (http://www.alltheweb.com)

Regards

Dereck

[RJ Sclafani]

Dereck, don't lie, you know you were looking for Turbine wheels on the internet and came across this site.

[mark007]

when i did the 351 coneversion in 98 on the other mark i was lookin for info and ran across this site, and found franks back in 97 i believe. hey pro now who's the old tymer.

[Vince]

Today is my first day on this sight. I can tell that I will be on it all night. My best friend in the Army bought an '86 Mark VII while we were stationed at Ft. Bragg in the early '90s. I had an '81 Olds Cut. Supreme (what a piece of garbage). This past winter I was looking for a cheap car due to financial difficulties and what do you know, I found a '90 M7 for $500 on E-bay. Today I was searching for recommendations on upgrading the fuel injectors when I stumbled on this sight. I have already replaced the front air bags w/ springs, alternator, battery, right exhaust, smog pump, pcv valve, plugs, oil pan (what a pain in the butt), cap and rotor. Not to mention cleaning all of the carbon out of the EGR valve. I'm looking forward to many more upgrades.

[DaKat]

Welcome to Lincolns OnLine, Vince. We've got great moderators and members here - make sure to check the archives for info, too smile.gif

$18,000 Burning a hole in my pocket :eek: searching for which Town Car to buy.. 95, 96 or 97.
What's the difference in the three, what was improved from 95 to 97 and most of all, what's falling apart on the three.

I collected tons of data, much of that from right here, and decided on 96 or 97 whatever comes up first... this began just before Christmas 2001 but I'd been lurking here at LOL since mid 01.

Searching California for the perfect Town Car was tough at that time unless one was willing to hop over to Texas or Florida, every one was advertised as perfect... what they really meant was perfect for parting out.

Finally got my baby in April 02 and joined the gang which I was already familliar with and posted my first Town Car problem...

05/02 Programming the keyless and memory settings. Buying additional fobs.
08/02 Heated seats died.
10/02 Transmission shudder /LubeGard.
10/02 Which tires ? Shocks or not ?

Many more followed, some still un-resolved :eek:

This is truly one of those LOVE / HATE relationships... love the TC, hate for anything to be wrong with it.. :D

[Silver Cobra]

Was surfing a lot of porn. After which, whenever I'd launch my browser, I'd be hijacked to this site so I figured why not join?

That's what I wish happened. Actually, the whole idea of souping up a Lincoln really got my attention. I lurked this site years ago when I wanted a Mark V. Not many people here at the time had one so I stopped coming. The day I bought my Continental, I knew where I was gonna go for info. and jackassery. This is my favourite Lincoln forum in the internet universe :cool: .

[reynolds]

We got our diesel last October without knowing much about it. We did a search on Google and the only article with any info about this particular Mark was written by pro-five-oh. We wrote to him and he told us about this site, and we are so glad he did, it has been an invaluable source of information. Thanks Pro, and DaKat for a great site.

[pro-five-oh]

Thank you for keeping the Diesel faith! Because you posted your impressions of the vehicle, you converted a lot of Mark VII owners who would otherwise think the car was a limited-production piece of junk!

[reynolds]

Oh no, these cars were never a piece of junk. Quite the contrary, they are really engineering marvels and were built to last, top notch all the way. From what I have been able to find out, their only downfall was their speed. The Lincoln market was used to a fast car, so this model never took off. (No pun intended. They do have good speed once the turbo kicks in.) Many of them went to the Lincoln reps who were able to drive them well over 300K miles. These cars were meant to cruise on the highway, where they are quite exceptional.
Everyone I have been able to find who has owned one has loved it and is always looking for another. One gentleman in the south actually had to sell his to get rid of a girlfriend.

I don't understand what one has to do with the other...was she in the trunk???

[reynolds]

I guess I didn't explain that clearly. This guy had a beautiful white on white LSC turbo diesel that he let his girlfriend drive as her own, and she absolutely loved the car. He had tried several ways to break up with her with no success. He finally sold the car and that was the end of the relationship! (this is according to the guy who bought it from him in '89)

[pro-five-oh]

LOL! Now that is a good story! :D :D :D

[pepsi2185]

Vince,

Dont forget the pcv filter. I dont know about the HO, but the regular slow 5.0 has one.

I was referred here from a hooker that pro and kevin 86 know. JK fellas.

[V8guy]

I really don't remember how I found this site but I'm sure glad that I did. This is a great community of caring people. I thank you all for your input.
