Sorry,
forgot the rest of my post.
Even if we post the "Appropriate Use of These Forums", someone would have to read it. I suppose this presents the same problem that we have all over the forum.

mad props to johhnycowboy for the correct use of the word 'occident' in a sentence.

I confess, I had no idea what he was saying...

well I didnt know wikipedia has that kind of definition for 'occident' but I used it defining us in the western world including North America and Europe...
as for the french, 'je suis demi francais alors j'imagines que je peux dire ce que je veux, calisse!' hehe
I hear ya pat, ive had heaps of emails in the last 6 months or so from different teams. Things like "we've chosen an engine and have decided to build a spaceframe.....do you know how we should design the steering, suspension, brakes and drivline?" I'm more than happy to share experiences and help out others if they have particular questions but cant design their car for them!

We(Swinburne team email) have had a few emails from India in the past month or so (prob about half a dozen). None from anywhere else, but they were quite simple questions - kind of annoying when trying to filter through official sponsor mail and such.
Yeah, a little nouse would go a LONG way....
Well none of us here want to cause any annoyance to anyone. My suggestion is to create separate discussion forum for new members. Those who dont get annoyed may go over there and answer the quiries.
i'm agree with u.Originally posted by ben:
I think it might help if a basic introduction to each area of the car could be posted somewhere with links to appropriate suppliers.
In the end you're saying go and read Carroll's books and Milliken, etc, etc. These references exist because someone was gracious enough to put their hard earned knowledge and experience down on paper. If one or two of us did the same we could maybe help the whole competition?
Pat's done it with his tech advice you can download from various locations and many of us like myself do it my volunteering to judge.
Just a thought.
