Yeah, I emailed a couple but heard nothing. It's not something that I've spent much time on to be honest. I know when people email looking for links I just delete their emails, so I'd expect the same treatment myself.

You'll find a graph of growth at the page above from 2013. It basically continued with linear growth at exactly the same rate from the day i launched it.

You're right - the order to Basics is somewhat chaotic - I'm going to fix this today. I'd reordered it to push heavily trafficked articles to the front page for SEO reasons. That was a bad idea with hindsight.

Thanks! I'm curious - did you just find the site on Google? Over the past two months I've re-mastered the old illustrations with a few filters and the difference is incredible. There's still a little more to do but I'

Yeah, it's getting dated now and I'm planning on creating some new content shortly. That said, it's still highly relevant for most classic car owners, and large amounts of the developing world.

Has this actually worked for anyone?? Not one commenter seems to have got it to work. I've had nothing but an error ("Error, code UL1JOBHASH: parsererror") for the last two hours.
