The DriveArchive web site opened in June of 2002. The intention of the site has always been to provide a means for owners to track the history and fate of their treasured vehicles, and to have a bit of fun.

The site has been fairly successful, and has attracted thousands of registered contributors, and tens of thousands of vehicle records. However it would be only fair to admit that the site has not exploded in a FriendsReunited sort of way, and that clearly the odds of anyone finding the history of a vehicle is still quite slim. As more data is added, of course, the better the chances get.

The owner of DriveArchive (that would be me) has therefore considered that charging for using the site would currently not be appropriate. I have attempted to pay the hosting costs from a few un-intrusive affiliate schemes, however these have not yielded much at all, sadly.

If the site is to survive, the modest hosting costs must be paid somehow, and therefore I would ask that if you have enjoyed or gained some benefit from using DriveArchive, that you would donate a small amount to keep it going. It would be greatly appreciated.

Any donation now, no matter how small, would gain you life membership to the site - should it one day become a subscription site.
