I think we could get some really nice additions to the site by posting a request for things from members here.

People could submit sounds, .mpg's of old commercials, scans of print ads and articles about Centurions, write histories outlining the basic evolution of the car and how it changed and became more distinctive from similar makes/models. Members could submit scanned photos, digital pics and movies of their cars to be dispayed in a central area of the site for easy viewing without having to sort through links of owners, etc. (perhaps break down by year/model only).

I'd love to see well-preserved Centurions going through performance trials and the like. Video from car shows getting folks' reactions and that kind of thing would be great too. Just more great Centurion visuals in general.

Thanks for providing a forum for my $.02!

Sled - It's good to see some enthusiasm from everyone about this board.

Sounds good - If I create an area with clips and the like, I will have to preobably create the page on the main registry page. I could add a link to the page on the forums here, though. That should be no problem at all.

Oh, in case you never saw it, here is a video of my convertible running down the track a couple years ago:

I'm still after a "project" section, where you can keep an ongoing update on your car and changes you make to it, and where you can post your plans for it. The "Me and My Buick" could be it, but I see that section more as an introduction, not a coming back over and over to update with pictures etc. I've seen it done successfully on another board where it takes up half of the people visiting every time I go there.

I figured the Me & My Buicks section would be good for that. It seems to work on the BCA page...


Would everyone rather see a projects section? I'm not opposed to making one.
