Do we need a Motoring section?

Hi Azz, not sure if this is the correct procedure but, here goes.

May I suggest a motoring section?

I think some of us would enjoy swapping stories of our past experiences, funny or serious.

I also think it maybe beneficial to those of us that lack the know how to identify small problems and their fixes...there are a lot of experienced people that could advise us.

Also we could discuss the Tax hikes for certain vehicles, the implications to new cars etc.

Advise on insurance is also a topic of interest.

Just a suggestion made by a couple of posters.

Hi Terry, I've moved this to General Chat to see what everyone else thinks...

What kind of threads do you think might be posted in it? Perhaps you can give us a list of 5 to 10 threads to give us an idea

Thank you Azz.
You've really put me on the spot here

Suicide doors?

Can I phone a friend or ask the audience?

Photos of cars owned....past and present?

Motorsports?

Help, I can't get my petrol cap off(for the ladies)

My MX5 has broken? Fender

Problem solving/trouble shooting?

Dashcams?

Sorry for adding the humour....

I'm sure there'll be plenty of interest.

C'mon Primus and Art, don't abandon me in my hour of need.

Yes, I don't know why, but yes!
Oh and a sport section.
I don't like sport though, so yes and no...

I'm sure that with a combined age of 165,000 years the knowledge gained will be immense.

How about a thread called The surgery?

For questions on your cars ailments.

Re: Do we need a Motoring section?

There could be a 'sticky' for a thread with links to handy sites.

Like this one .... to check a cars MOT history.
It's good .. very detailed. I ran Mr M's old Vectra through it.
When I get bored I'll do all the neighbours cars

There could be a Car Confessions thread... I'll leave that one to your imagination, but I bet there are a few of us who have!
