Works here......

What they omit to say is that it's in the US!

The carelessness that can't even get the url correct shows throughout the site (or what bit of it there is): mis-spellings, grammatical errors, and distorted photos abound. Ease of reading wasn't top priority, either.

Why don't people get a bit of content before they launch sites like this?

I do apologise for my carelessness with the url. it should read

Added a .com to the URL and got: Classic Cars Online, LLC. is located in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Aarrr... it's a co.uk URL.

Looks nice enough to me. Though this newsgroup makes the forum rather superfluous, IMO. The thing that leapt out at me was the distortion of some of the images in the for-sale section. Rectangular photos trying to fit into square holes. If they really have to be square, they should be cropped to that shape first rather than forced.

BTW, the site very nearly validates correctly - it'd be worth making the small changes recommended by the html validator on

I agree about the forum being somewhat less than useful. Even with the squashed images it is vastly better than the merkin pile of poo that loaded when I clicked the first link. With a bit of care with the images and a tweak here and there, it has the makings of a good and useful site.

Also it makes the classic mistake of setting background colours in html and the foreground colours in stylesheets. Ugh! Black text on a dark blue background isn't easy to read. Always set both colours in the same place so that contrast is preserved whether the browser supports css or not.

Bwahahaha.

Just looked at the 'For Sale' section.

Oh dear......

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Willy Eckerslyke saying something like:

In the 'about us' page the thumbnails load as full-size jpegs but thumbnail in size - a truly dreadful clanger.
