What happened to Maison Blanche?
« on: April 18, 2007, 10:12:43 am »

What has happened to the Maison Blanche site?

www.maisonblanche.co.uk

Is it just a temporary glitch, or is it no more?

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

It's been a very long temporary glitch, with a promise of a return having been there for some months (years?)  I think somebody on here is connected with the site but cannot remember whom.

From the PlanetLeMans.com website:

Quote
PlanetLeMans.com was founded in 2002, more or less after Rick Wilson decided to discontiniue the legendary Maison Blanche website. [...]

I guess this is the answer to your question...

Still odd that it continues to be there and still promises a return this year!

Coo, you're right, Paddy.  Wasn't like that a couple of weeks ago.  Must knock it off the guide...

I've got a Maison Blanche.com tee shirt. Seven years old and still going strong.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Spoke with Mr Rick last night, he is changing the domain package at the moment which is not going smoothly, He is rather busy at the moment and is not sure when it will be back up and running.

Rick W is busy busy and has not been able to give much time to www.maisonblanche.co.uk in the past couple of years.

Similar excuses have been used by a certain other Rick regarding www.totalSPORTSCAR.COM

Ever since Rick got a real job the site has been in decline. Come back Rick all is forgiven ;D
