can we please have a 'car talk' section. For some time the caravans section is full of cars/4x4/fuel economy/which towing car questions that detract from the caravans section and deserve a section all of their own.
We might as well do away with all the sections, and just have one big one, as people can't seem to put subjects in right areas anyway, and if they do they seem to go off on a tangent and end up talking about something else!
If I need advice over a car I would probably put it in the life in genral forum as that is where it wouldbe best answerd . Though I do see your point for asking for one given so many differant types of car out there I think it would get hijacked by petrol heads .
I would like to support the idea of having a separate forum for car questions. There are almost as many questions on cars as most of the sections except Tents. A major advantage with a separate section is that it builds up a useful database of information which is easy to access.
Hey if we're going down that road, how about forums for:
Scooters, cycles, walking, backpacking, and so on
The list could be endless.
I don't think it's as daft as it sounds as many of us enjoy outdoor activities whilst camping ie walking, cycling, canoeing etc........or maybe we should group them under an 'Outdoor Activities' section with sub sections for each........now I'm confused

Never be afraid to try something new, remember.... Amateurs built the 'Ark'... but Professionals built the 'Titanic' !!!

The difference is that the subjects you mention are only discussed now and then. Cars as a topic came up on a daily basis. Now don't get me wrong I would be happy to support any suggestion for addition sections providing that it can be supported by a need. The number of posts we get about cars in my view does support a separate section.
What you all have to consider is that ratty and webby run this site in their own time with the help of some carefully chosen up standing members of this site .Its all very well to suggest adding extra sections but who will manage them and still find time to enjoy what this site is all about the enjoyment iof outdoor life .

I would like to see one too - including trailers, roof boxes and bars - we also need a forum for pubs and drinking lots of beer
could keep other forums on track, and the ppl in the know would always be on there looking to help out.
