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.
