A search by owner for cars on the websites (like XK and E, for example) might be useful. Some of us have added owner photos, so it would be interesting to see what cars a given person owns. 2.) I've often wondered how cars are added with just the serial number and very little else. Adding an explanation of how the post came to be; example: found in magazine XXXX, or listed for sale on XXXX. website, or met owner at the 7-11, etc. Jerry Oliver Olympia WA Hi Roger,

The ability to seach by the name or email address of the person who added a car or posted a comment. I have added cars in the past and then wanted to find the entry but couldnt remember the chasssis number so had to do a search based on model etc to try and locate the entry. Another search idea.

Along with the a new tab to allow the entry of engines only that are not installed in a car. Great site as I have said before, loved my calendars and we need t-shirts !!! Cheers John Roger

I'm not currently an eType owner, but have been following ebay sales recently for the past 12 months. I've been an MG owner for the past 20 years. I would love to see a "buyer's guide" on this web site for people like myself. I've heard horror stories about people completely getting ripped off with an eType purchase - no matching numbers, rusted out, coupes butchered in convertibles, etc. It would be very helpfull if you posted information on what to look for when buying an etype. Obviously there will be generic items standard to most cars - rust (huge problem in most British cars), engine, compression, etc., but what about typical things to look for when buying an XKE? Do many people buy $50k + etypes, sight-unseen on eBay? I find this very risky. Best Regards, Shaan Toronto, Canada Hi Roger, great website!

A new posting in the comments seems to be a clumsy way of dealing with obvious errors or omissions. If it is already there please point it out to me as I seem to have missed it, THANKS!!! I think your web site is really handy and informative. I would think that a simple direct way to correct obvious errors on the data plate and in the written text would be handy.
