 Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to build a little 'Cyberspace Garage' on this forum where members could post up links to any websites they have found, that would be of interest to the 'Motor Modellers' on here. A one stop shop if you like, where you could come to find some help with motor modelling research, techniques, info about the full size cars, etc., or just to look at some of the fantastic models that are out there on the internet ?? If you have any sites you would like to share, then feel free to post them up in this Topic and I will be happy to check back regularly then copy and paste them into the index in post #2 so that they are all in one place. So come on guys, what have you found so far ?? Regards ... Kev.

Hi all, Another great website added to the A-Z Index in post #2 today : http://www.racingsportscars.com/
Not models, full size stuff, but a great site for researching who won what in which Formula, which race, which year, which car, etc. Not just Formula 1 but Touring cars, Le Mans, Sports Cars, Historic Racing, etc. etc. Very valuable stuff for modellers, if you are looking for that obscure piece of info and great photos as well, you should check it out !!  Regards ... Kev.

You're gonna have to stop this Hunt McLaren Fest, I can't cope with it and can feel another project coming on .... Which ALWAYS costs money !!  Added to the index in Post #2 !!
