It would be nice if people discussed the cars. The picture gallery link
should now be working.I ran the web page through this meta-tag
analyzer:-
http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-...-analyzer.html
and it came out fine. Check it if you don't believe me?

How my mate gets hold of these vehicles I will never know. The
Thunderbird is
one of only 6,000(?) built! The Humbers are in good condition.

Still none of these cars compare to the ones I saw in Havana,Cuba
recently.

I shall be posting the link to these old American cars when I have
scanned all the pictures. Getting a taxi that is a 1954 Chevrolet
Bel-Aire in excellent condition is quite an experience.

I'm smart & I'll tell you a few things that are wrong w/ the site.

First, if you're really trying to get listed by SE's... then you would have
SEO'd the site. You would have understood that the first part of your site
(literally the html) is nearly most important to Google.com. You would have
stuffed all of your crappy JS code in a .js file & linked to it from your
..html file. Then you would have put in better keywords & had the SE's
re-visit the page after so long. Then you would have actually put some
EFFORT into the design & not make it look uglier than my ass hair. After
you've done that, you would find a real domain (also part of SEO--search
engine optimization) instead of hosting it across a few free sites. The page
is crap. Your spam is crap. Go away.

Trimming messages is a good thing, but if you leave nothing of the
previous
posts your message make little sense.

> The meta-tag analyser gave the site a good rating.


I suspect that a Google rating is worth rather more. Quote from the
site
"Humber specialised" Google search for humber hawk = ZERO results for
the
PROP-VEHICLES site among the first 100 listings out of 19,200. A search
for
PROP-VEHICLES = ZERO results among the first 100.

> You are actually interested in old cars or just sitting on your arse

Perhaps if you knew how to use a search engine, you would not have
needed to
ask such a silly question.

> If you are so smart what is wrong?


For a start: geotitties hosting, over-compressed and incorrectly resized
images, bmp image file, broken links, K3WL kiddie guest book, naive
childish design, pop-ups, and a counter you tried to massage by a spot
of spamming etc, etc, I could go on but I suspect that saying more might
create a dummy shortage in the Hounslow area.

That may be true, but the fact remains that, by and large, they
succeed in what they're doing. If they didn't, then they would have
disappeared by now. Think about that.

S'pose timeshare touts, Nigerian money laundering emails, cold calling
Telcos and 'energy suppliers' fit in the same category... They don't go away
either...

I have just had a look round the site. Sceptres and Snipes but no Hawk, so
this is a reasonable result.

If you disable scripts and cookies, you don't get pop-ups - but the guest
book doesn't work.

Actually, I rather liked the picture of the Humber line-up, and it is at
least partly on topic for the groups posted to. If the OP had introduced
the link with a bit of chat about the cars featured and left the link as
"Pictures here" instead of just posting the link, I could have believed it
was not spam. In any case, I would rather have this sort of spam than the
type with the embedded trojans.

Not smart enough to post the right way up and trim to context though.

More photos of old American cars in Havana have been added :-

http://www.geocities.com/anastasia3.geo/havanacars.html

Some of the pictures are 'quick-shots' taken from a bus or a taxi.

I don't know the make of all the cars ?
