That's bad news! Maybe our community will find a way to help in a certain way?

I've had some e-mails in the past with Michiel.

Too bad I can't help him as I have some financial issues myself.

Costs me $50-$60 dollars a year to host this place. I wouldn't have the nerve to ask for donations to cover that.

Pass.

can't tell for Michiel, can tell for myself, my hosting will not be covered by 60 dollar. (however for 2000 I could run it a couple of years easy)

Interestingly, I see no message at the site itself?

Ultra: Do you host a site with them? Could you tell me which one?

The site you are reading is hosted by GoDaddy.

It was all to clear when I read your profile. Unfortunately, this was after posting that.

I think a "donate" button, with a pay-pal account will help.

Agree! There's meanwhile a huge collection of coachbuild cars online used on forums all over the world. A little gratefulness would help...

I'm using that place while I'm completing my index.
In the Beaulieu, for some coachbilders, (like Duvivier) there are few lines like "worked on Hispano-Suiza, Delage, Ballot, Cadillac etc chassis) and on Coachbuild.com you can find the actual models.
I think few euros multiplied for thousands of donation will solve the question.

I try... ;)

I have just added a donation button to the website's right bar.
Reactions from our readers are very positive, so problems will be over soon. Many thanks!

Handy! :)
But I ask myself: Couldn't that cause trouble as well?

It's safe.

Presumably, it could possibly lead to claims that the donators claim to have a stake in this site?
