I hate to be the odd man out but I prefer the old look. The new format looks bland to me whereas the old one was more "dynamic"

Nice Touch! If it loads better than the old page, it will be an out-of-the-park home run!

Just read the Billy Meyer interview, good job ! Out of the spotlight but still a player with a good history. Thanks also for the update with Daryll Gwynne.

Does anyone recall Dale Pulde/War Eagle ? That would be a good interview too.

Ya think it would be better or easier on the eyes if they made the print in BLACK ... I find it easier to read the black print...

Have you considered stronger bi-focals? Or, do you have the strongest they can make that will allow you to hold your head up? :D

Don't know if whoever is doing the artwork has noticed the "deliberate" mistake in the main logo banner. The Carbon Fibre look pattern in the background is overlaid with a black to transparent gradient in all the other CF look headers, whereas the main header has the pattern just crudely clipped off at the sides of the logo. I'm sure that this was probably not the designers intention and I know its not a huge deal, but I know it would annoy me like hell if I'd done it and hadn't noticed so I thought it might be worth a "heads up".

But in general I like the new look. Navigation is much improved from the previous version of the site and the only downside at present is the non-alignment of the "mainbox" div which I presume has either been widened accidentally by the placement of another div or maybe an image with a wrong width attribute (I didn't fancy reading through all the css), or the rest of the homepage is being worked on and will be resized to the same width, as the current width seems to work well for the main info tables/divs, well at least on my monitor.

Only other critisism is the main navbar across the header which purely from an aesthetic point of view I feel needs separating from the reflected image in the background. I would personally suggest shortening (top to bottom) the main header and then sitting the navbar on a seperate but matching background bellow in a separate div taking up approximately the same or less overall screen area.

Hope you find my critisism constructive as I really do think the site is a vast improvement over what went before.

Man, I'm due for new ones. But they are pretty dam strong as it is. If I take them off, I see a big blur. But it's the contrast. The level between the grey and white is too close... For my eyes anyways.
