How about a forum for out beloved SEAT (Salsa, Leon, Ibiza, Cordoba, Toledo, Alhambra, Arosa) and the not-so well known Pegaso (Z102, Z103)(if you make it, I will talk about it, as I really like these unique cars.) Also, I'm not sure if you have these already, but how about Allard (J2X)
Also, how about Facel Vega, Gordon Keeble, or a forum for little known brands.
Thanks!
PS, I got carried away, and didn't check the board for all of these.

i don't think that he's too big on small manufacturers, and for a good reason: there's thousands of them

Yes, you can find places to post about small manufacturers in other places, like Cars in General (miscellaneous, maybe?).

We should, I like the Messerschmidt (SP?) and some of the other funny cars.

Seats are largely re-badged Volkswagons, hardly unique.

Maybe we should have an "other makes" forum.

Yeah, I guess SEAT's are just re-badged volkswagons. But the other makers have rebadged versions of the same car, I'm sure you can think of a couple right away.
Yes, a miscellaneous section would work really well, as small companies usually have neat cars.
Messerschmitt: THe one I know of is the KR200. It was a bubble car made from 1953-1961. It had 3 wheels(2 in front), a rear-mounted (a la porsche) 191cc twostroke single cylinder engine, with about 10hp. It could go 50mph. It had a 4 speed manual. Weight:550lbs, independent suspension all around (ohhh, how advanced).
They made 50000 of them. In german, the KR meant Kabinenroller, which means sedan scooter.
And the Focke-Wulf wasn't a messerschmidt, it was a Focke-Wulf (ironic, isn't it) And the 190A used a 1700hp BMW 14 cylinder radial engine. The 109E used a 1100 hp Daimler-benz V12.
All fairly good ideas, now can igor make it happen?
