Community.

The best thing about these cars is the people who stop to look at them. The idea is somewhere to keep the conversation that happens in a car park: what you fixed, what has you beaten, and who is driving where. None of it exists yet. We would rather show you the shape of it than pretend it is busy.

What is a concept

  • No members, posts or messages exist.
  • The three people below were invented for this page. No real person appears anywhere on it.
  • There is nothing to join, follow or post to. The only thing you can send us is feedback.

Everything below is an illustration.

Illustrative example — not a real record

Walk through this record

A profile would also carry what this person has written. Nobody has written anything, because nobody is here.

Would you want a profile page at all?

Envisioned

  • A question that gets answered with a page you can check for yourself.
  • Build journals that read in order, kept by whoever is doing the work.
  • Clubs with their own corner, rather than a borrowed one.
  • Gatherings listed by the people running them, and only with their consent.
  • VWX will not authenticate a vehicle, and will not share anyone's contact details without their consent.

Tell us what you think

  • Would you post here, or only read?
  • Which of the four would you use: the feed, the journals, the clubs or the gatherings?
  • What would bring you back a second time?

Concept

A Garage That Remembers.

Every car leaves a trail: receipts, photographs, a list of jobs nobody finished. Most of it lives in a shoebox. The garage is our idea for keeping it in one place — one page per car, the work in the order it happened, and the whole thing handed on with the keys.

Where Is It Now?

You sold it. You watched it go. Somewhere out there it is either a barn find, a show car or a memory. The owner registry is our idea for closing that gap: past owners write down what they remember, present owners write down what they have, and the two find each other only if both agree.
