10 minutes from Lingenfelter's... aren't you jealous?
Automotive Wiki?

Does any one know if one of these exists? I know they exist other fandoms (the way I see it, the obsession with cars and wanting to know all the facts isn't that different) like Star Wars. Can't one use wikipedia to make your own wiki? Would anyone want to make one? I like putting info together (I'm a history ed major) and I think it could be pretty fun. Tedious, but way fun.

Here's some examples:

Main Page - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki
Main Page - Bulbapedia

Hmm, that site needs a lot of work and a hell of a lot more information imo. It seems to have been put together by someone who knows of the leading manufacturers and thats about it.

J. Trommelmans - de techniek van de auto
ISBN10: 9066742739 | ISBN13: 9789066742734


Excellent book for our Dutch readers. Covers everything is good to grasp language and quite in-depth but not too far.

bol.com | Boeken (Nederlands) | De techniek van de auto + CD / druk 4, Jan Trommelmans

What's wrong with paper ? There are plenty of other sources except digital.

I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to post up the following link for you anyway. WikiAuto or WikiAuto.com is a car repair wiki with articles, instructions, manuals, pin outs, pictures, and video on how to repair or modify your vehicle.

Interesting to see how it will be fleshed out, and how accurately... it's a whole lot of nothing at this point.
