Ok folks, you don't have to hit me over the head. It recently became pretty clear that many of you wanted to separate discussion of other "British" cars and other non-British cars; so, here they are - two forums. One is for other British cars and the other is for anythinng else! I have managed to transfer all posts for 2004 to the proper forum (I may have made a few mistakes but its probably pretty close). This was no small task. I still have all the older posts in a hidden temporary forum and will move them as I get time.

So, to quote Basil Fawlty:

"Anything else? I mean, would you like the Hotel moved a bit to the left, or...?"

Basil

Wow! I partly started this forum split because of my post on the Chevy Astro. Jeez, I never though it would go so far as to split the forum. This means I can post about non-British without people yelling at me. YAY!

Just another example of Basil's dedication. And one more reason this is one of the best car forums (if not THE best) on the net.

What if you want to discuss British cars in "general"? Right now there is a marque specific forum, or the non British forum. What if English cars non specific breed is the topic?

Not sure what you mean. There is "Other British Cars" to discuss British cars in general.

Oh, I thought that forum was for discussion of all the non brand specific, but I see it could be "British Cars Other" forum.

The BCF has been directly responsible for getting me back out into the garage and working on cars again. After getting my little Midget on the road I anxiously took on my next project. Imagine my panic when I realized that my German car wasn't supported by a decent forum. I really value the input that the people have here. I come here for the people, not their cars!

Thanks for all the hard work! It is appreciated.

I know a guy who took an old Cadillac hears & cut the top off the part where the casket went, built a ramp for the tailgate & hauls his Harley chopper in it!
