Try PMing Sp3ctre as he may be able to add it - add pvr and AW8 into the copy list :)

It does seem like a good idea, and I know pvr is or was out of the country until recently.

There's a surprise; nothing came of it [/quote]

I detect a hint of sarcasm & suspect you actually might not be that surprised  ;)

I note comments re sending PM's but pvr myself & sp3ctre are online pretty much daily. We do read posts & administrate/moderate the site -  even if we are quite busy at times.


Pvr replied earlier in this thread albeit briefly............Here's my personal take.

Personally I see little point in having a detailing subsection for the following reasons.

1. There are already excellent detailing sites with plentiful info & discussion. Anything here won't come close to say D.W. boards

2. I see little point in members here folk spending lots of time writing tutorials here when they exist elsewhere. Once again......... Anything here won't come close to say D.W. boards

3. It would be yet another section to administrate when others can be already be used to ask detailing Q's or to post results.


That's my current take on it ............I haven't spoken to pvr or sp3ctre re this  :)
