Submitting new sites. List of links sites are not included because they do not add much on their own. Sites dedicated to exotic cars, unless exceptional, will not be considered; nor will sites concentrating on images and photographs. The emphasis here is on education and information. If you are planning on submitting a site, please first see if it meets our criteria - mainly, that it presents useful information (and not about a single product or service) to our viewers. To submit a site, write to .

Note to viewers: Sites are only added when they are of extra special value so this site can be especially useful. If you find a site to be of little value, or think I made a mistake, write to .
