About This Site

Updated September 3, 2012

When I first started to build this site I had no idea of how to use HTML. I learned as much as necessary to get started and then kept learning as it progressed and I needed to. It was built entirely by hand without the use of any site builder program. I did make use of "Tidy" during validations.

Written entirely in HTML and then converted to XHTML it has no PHP, Javascript, Flash, or any other coding (except for what's in the widgets and add-ons which aren't mine). My goal was to keep each page small, fast, and simple.

Compared to other sites that dealt with only one car over its lifetime or even bigger sites that had many cars over their lifetimes, my job seemed simple. I had only four very similar cars covering only a seven year period that had few major changes over that length of time.

After I thought about it, I started thinking "how and what can I write anything new that hasn't already been written about four very similar cars covering only a seven year period that had few major changes over that length of time ?"

"In it's strength lies it's weakness"...Unknown

I soon realized that I probably wouldn't be able to do that. So except for where I've put some of my own opinions in the text pages you won't see a lot of anything new. What you will see is a new take on old material. As I said in my "Credits" page, it's impossible to cite original referances when you see so much that has been ripped word for word from some other source.

This is a collection and a compilation of research over a four year period at this time. It is also a work in progress. I'll keep adding my research data until there's no more to be said and then it will become an archive of that research data.

That doesn't mean that the site will become stagnant. With short articles that I have already created and with input from you, the owner, or you the enthusiast, this site will be an active site. Not just a repository of static information.
