Urgent - Donations required

Post by KarlJ » Fri May 13, 2022 10:32 am

Hi All

Running this site and keeping all the useful info and files we have stored costs money every year. Unfortunately, funds have dried up and if we don't get some donations in the next few weeks (before the end of June) we will have no option but to close down the site and forum.

It would be a great shame to have to lose all that has been built over a great many years.

If you can give anything at all to save the site we would really appreciate your help.

Many thanks
The RussianMilitaryTrucks admins

Yes, without any donations from members the massive archive of information will be lost forever

Please dig deep, or certainly a few beers worth! B-)

This is a great site and has been invaluable over the last couple of years since I’ve had the Uaz.

Few quid heading your way now - let’s hope enough is raised to keep this online 👍🏼

This forum - and its members - has been invaluable to me. Happily donated.

Thanks to everyone's generosity we're now only £35 short of the target to keep the forum running for another year!

Thank you!

Thank you all for your generous donations - we can keep going for another year!

Of course if anyone would like to donate for future years that would be very much appreciated. Even a little bit helps.

I just tried the paypal link and it failed twice with "something went wrong", which isn't exactly helpful....
Is there another way to donate? You can PM me with details if you prefer.

Hi Chris
Thank you for trying - that's odd, I'm not sure why it would do that. At what point did it go wrong?
I'll send you a PM
cheers
