    Ermm.. only you know how useful it could/will be, but if you have a good collection of regularly checked links, then I'd imagine it could be useful.

    The style is very basic or, rather, non-existant. It looks like an out-of-the-box open source solution with little effort to general theme. When you get time, perhaps you could work on the general theme/layout of the site, rathar than it being just a technical looking listing application with a BMW logo stuck in as an after thought.

    Making it valid HTML/xHTML will also help make it work on alternative browsers.

    Interestingly, one of the Google ads was for Saab spares!!!

    Cheers cg.
    Im not looking for an overly flashy or graphical site - I primarily want users to be able to find what they are looking for easily. I will however, try and re-jig the (non-existent) style.
    All links will be monitored and the (as yet incomplete) report broken link facility will help [hopefully].
    The homepage is valid xhtml - just need to tidy up code in other pages to ensure this accross the range.

    I assume the Google/Saab links are just in relation to the cars theme.

    Any other comments?
