    How did you find FJ.Com?

    Ever since DF left the magazines I've been searching the new looking for where he went. Searching "Freiburger" brings up lots of sites in a foreign language. I only found this place last month, and only by accident while looking up something else. And what was Car Junkie TV? Can someone please clue me in on the DF timeline since he left the magazines?

    CarjunkieTV went live Oct 31 2007, I don't remember when DF "pulled the chute" at HRM though. To answer your ? I was migrated over here when the transition took place.

    Some videos from CJTV.

      I came here from CJTV. Found that from a post on Moparts by the one and only Elvis.

          He can elaborate if he wants, but here is the quick version.

          DF calls me and says he has an opportunity. We leave our other gigs, and officially start CarJunkieTV while at SEMA pitching it to sponsors, etc.
          CarJunkieTV was an online television network for car guys. We had multiple shows that were presented as episodes.
          You can look a bunch of them up on youtube.
          Then the investors in the company that owned us all lost it in the stock market and pulled them plug last fall.
          We were homeless.
          Now we are here.

          DF and I have started a Video Production company with the equipment from CarJunkie, and are serving the aftermarket.

          That's the real short version, but you get the point.

          Here is a link to our episodes on youtube. Check it out.

              HotRod had a great forum that they ruined with new shit software. They lost just about everyone.

              DF left HR and he & Chad started up CJTV so it was a natural to go there. Good timing!

              CJTV to here is a no brainer.

                I found out that DF was leaving Hot Rod from a post on another website. That led me to CJTV. I was in the transition from CJTV to here.
