Car Addict Central

This is my first ever personal website so I hope you find it of interest. Basically I like most things cars. My interests span several different marques and it adds up to an eclectic mix. I have included links to more info on each car and links to relevant owners clubs. My addiction just grows stronger as the years go by. My interest in cars is a hobby that has (and still will) include club meets, shows, race meets, competition and a sprinkle of journalism. I don't consider myself to be an authority on all things cars I just love finding out more about them and enjoying them in different ways. Any comments and suggestions are welcome as I want to improve on the site and keep it up to a good standard. Please try and look past my limited webskills.

Features on my diverse interest in cars

I have been known to dabble with magazine features mainly for the Mini Cooper Register (so far!). These have been known to include test drives and often include historys of cars. The point of this section is to give you the reader a bit of background to go with the photographs. I will be researching the backgrounds of the cars I take photos of and adding details as soon as possible. Basically if there is a car that you want to know more about you can click on the info link. I will include a link to a owners club for each car so that if the car has stirred serious interest you can find out more if you should wish. If I am still researching details I'll include a club link anyway to help quench your thirst for knowledge until I complete the feature. I am not an authority on all things cars but I do live and breath them and love to find out more. The features included vary from a brief history to a more comprehensive one. Don't fear though I have tried my best to avoid rambling on for too long.

I would appreciate your feed back so I can get an idea what's good and what's bad. Well browse on people!
