Dan,
Please consider doing this project! I think it is a great idea that
could involve and benefit the ENTIRE group. There could be so many ways
to put this together, and I for one would be willing to help you with
this. I also do not have a scanner or digital camera yet, but they are
on my short list to acquire. I would like to see a short bio on the
cars, ie options, colors, trim, likes, dislikes, etc., as well as a
owner profile. Not all of us have been here since the start of this
group and we are all proud of our individual cars, periods of design
cycles, and those other factors that link all of us around one brand of
automobile. It does not make our choice better or worse than someone
elses and what better way to introduce one another than with a picture
of what brought us HERE in the first place. Bravo to you and I don't
think you owe anyone an apology for your idea. Lets hope it
happens.
