opinions please...

would be interested to hear what people think of this ... be as scathing as you like - since it's still a work in progress any ideas for inclusion?

Content:

OK, your Camaro ownership story is very good. Perhaps you should also include a bit on parts availability, specialists around the UK, price of ownership and rain drivability (my biggest complaint of IROC-Z ownership).

I reckon you should take it easier on the “ricers” too, American cars already don’t have a great image in the UK for us to go round saying that everyone else’s cars suck (even when they do )... Plus you want to get people interested in Camaros, right? If they come in and you insult their car they will not be interested.

A list of up to date links is darn useful and will keep people coming to your web page, it requires some work every week to update links and put up any interesting things you find. But if you don’t people will just visit your page a couple of times, see that it never changes and never come back again.

Structure:

Well to be frank it needs LOADS of work, web sites aren’t books and should not be structured as such. At the moment you don’t have a great deal of content and I would expect to be able to jump to any part of your web site with a single click from the homepage.

Hope that helps

thanks for the feedback... I'm grateful for any and all critique providing it is constructive which yours most certainly is... will have to sit down and do a little more re-modeling... I must admit I was in 2 minds about using frames (due to lack of competance!!) but may have to look again... I do take you point about going easy on ricers - but it is only meant in jeast (though I will likely put a little tag there stating that )

More pictures to help break the text up.

I like the derogatory comments about the other cars.

Hi Patrick,

How's things? Site is great, makes for an interesting read- I never knew you had so many in the past!! I would love to see that Classic and Sportscar article- maybe you could scan it and attach to your site

The structure isn't great but I love the content. Only prob with geocities is you can't post pics on this board for some reason- at least you couldn't.

Hope the bad boy is still going well!!

Felix
