i like it the way it is but i can see what u mean. i kinda like that idea.

Does one exist for the 1.0 race roller buggy? I just got one a few weeks ago.

If they did that a lot of peoples questions wouldn't get answered.

The search feature allows you to show posts instead of threads without using the advance features which speeds up the process.

This is very true. I have noticed that in other forums that are split up they way the OP suggested and there is a lot less traffic in each forum.

I like the idea as well. Sometimes its a pain to look up or go through a thread just to find what your looking for.

I think that if anyones up to it, then they should
start an index thread that covers the most popular
cars and engines. That way in a few weeks we will
have to search thru pages of indexes to find
what we are looking for. Each thread does have
a search option.
Don't be so damn lazy. If there are two hundred
pages of a car or engine that you have just bought,
READ THEM ALL. This web site is a great wealth of
knowledge. Let it be.

Yes there is some good info in here, but it is out weighed heavily by the useless info.
