When I was looking for one, it was either a cascade, or orange one.... and then I saw this! Deal done....

I'm thinking reflex charcoal for the colour although I really like the idea of having it in purple.

In that case, how about the fastest TVR colour of them all ? Reflex Purple

Hi, all

I'm thinking about the best way to reinvigorate www.speed12.info

All opinions welcome. This is not a request for services (unless free of course). I'm interested to find out what it is that would be of interest and how best to structure the site to make it more useful.

I also have speed12.com (currently unused) so this is likely to be the new home at some point in the future. I also have the facebook account. I'll probably also use it to post up progress on the rebuild of the second speed 12.

Thanks

Personally I'd take the sound off the front page, have links to sound and video of the car(s).

It needs to be a 'loud' colour...also safer, as others will more easily see you approaching at 200mph...assuming they are deaf.

What is the objective of the site? Had a quick look but cant quite work out why I might return.
More 'richness' of info re the red Speed 12 plus a blog for the new one might pull me back.

One thing missing though:


Section to book our free rides (as fellow TVR nutters)

[G1ABB]

Good point, I'll put in a fan details section... for which there really should be some benefit for a lucky person or two!

Hi Graham, did you know about Nick's Facebook efforts? Here's his group, it has a lot of good photos, and a link to a history of the car, hopefully you can make use of some of it?

As for ideas for Speed12.com, I reckon a clear distinction between the Speed 12 and Cerbera Speed 12 would be a good idea, explaining the differences between the two, and how one led to the other; a full pictoral history of the development of the car; how there were two race cars, then one; and how the car eventually came to be a race car bodied road registered machine; and also a detailed write up of your rebuild, including engine etc. Obviously a gallery, videos, and 'appearing at' section would be nice, so then fans can make sure they get a glimpse of the car.

Nick popped by Bristol Ave yesterday on his way back to York, had a long chat with Jonny. From what he told me the rebuilt machine is quite something!!!
