Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of adding a new "car log" feature to the aufalcon.com website. It will consist of a log / manager for each car where you can enter the odometer reading periodically to produce a graph of your distance / usage over the past 12 / 24 / 36 months. You can also set "reminders" about your car, such as change oil, rotate tyres, service, etc. Another idea I had was you can add a dated list of the mods you've made with the corrosponding cost so you can build up a total overview of what you've spent on the car (could be depressing) with an aufalcon.com "print report" feature if you ever want to sell the vehicle, sort of like a certificate to easily show the buyer. What are your thoughts? Regards, Andrew.

I've got a log (of sorts) of what and when but a more structured format would work for me. |

It is a great idea ... I have been using my Workshop Build thread to put in what I have done and when ... it's great ... it is timestamped ... and I put down my km's.
But never the prices ... LOL ... that would scare me. It is a great idea.

sounds great, just make sure you can go back and add extra items/parts/whatever to the list, coz i always forget which mod i did first or second..then later i'll remeber.
have had this problem a few times when doing spec sheets for shows- i'll print it out and then remember i forgot to add my new extractors or whatever.
