Default aufalcon.com - new feature idea

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.

I'm with HLC, too depressing to list all I've spent! LOL!

The features available to members though seem most promising!

Good idea!

This is a great idea mate- certainly something different, good on you for thinking outside the square, that's what makes the site great!

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.
