How about a list of mag issues that have featured Supercars?

[Rainer]

A reply to one of the posts here got me thinking about something that might be useful at this site. Would there be interest in having a list of specific magazine issues that have featured supercars? This could include both musclecar mags (e.g. MCR, GMC) as well as period car mags (e.g. Hot Rod, SS & DI).

This would make it easy for those interested in tracking down these mags. If there's interest, I can start with my MCR collection and see what I turn up. Thoughts?

In my opinion....I think it would be an exellent resource.

Another idea (and I dont think this already exists) might be to have the answers to some of the questions or topics, that have been discussed in the message board, displayed. The members here know an amazing wealth of information, might be helpful to organize it so that others can look and learn. I am not sure if that is the direction the registry wants to go in.

Just a thought...might require a bit too much leg work though.

What does anyone else think?
