Thank you all very much, this information is more than helpfull and since i couldn't find it anywhere else, this is the place where i think i will receive the best help.

I will try to come here more oftenly, but i'm working very hard on the car encyclopedia, uploading the content.
I was not inspired and in this 15 years the texts were written in Romanian so i have to translate them in English.
My intention is to keep the pace i have right now, between 50 to 100 car types a day and that translates in 8 to 12 hours of work on daily basis.
 I have managed to add over 100 cars yesterday so that's the only reason keeping me from coming here.

PS: I have got some proffesional help, from "RayTheRat", wich i have to thank him again.
If anyone elese wish to contribute, i really need some help on the cars that were built in very small series or just a a few copies or never got passed the prototype phase, custom cars, race cars wich were not built with the support of the manufacturers, modified cars or formula cars.
The modified cars, formula cars (f1, indy, etc) and race cars built with no support of manufacturers are not included in this 7000 cars and 70.000 car types number, i have worked in the last 15 years.

Help is neded mostly because this informations about rare cars are available sometimes only in the area they wetre built and are hard to find using the internet, not top mention how hard is to find press release photos or the ones with CSS copyright.

PS: If the texts on all-car-brands.com, do not have any other statement below them, it means thay are written by me and can be used anywhere for posting (with a link to the page they were taken from).

If you do not see 50 updates on one day, then something important occured, if you do not see any updsates for 3 consecutive days, i probably died of extenuation. Besides this there is nothing that is going to stop me from fullfiling this dream.

Nice meeting you and thank you all, again.

Need some help for Samsung:
http://www.all-car-brands.com/automotive_brand/samsung/

I do not have any photos or information about two Samsung concepts:
SEV-I 1992
SEV-II 1993

It's is a slim chance, but this is the only place where i have got a chance to find this info.
Somebody from South Korea should know about them

Thank you guys  for the effort.

My own project is many year sin the making. I allow people to access the information for free, but some think that gives them the right to republish without credit, stick adsense ads on it, dilute my traffic, kill my earnings and make me have to take on contract work instead of researching car data! I have over 25000 models from 1100 or so manufacturers. Each model is captured by hand - my hand! Not one car in the database was captured or researched by anyone else. Which is why I am not happy when thieves simply take it and republish it.... there are estimated 20+ domains with my data simply republished. I would let it die before I charge for access to it, so if that means it dies, well, it dies... which I think would be a pity.

Anyway, enough moaning... any help for my project will be very gratefully received.

Thank you for your help "zaktoo".
I know about your website, it's a lot of info and i know how muc work it is.
Putting it head to head this will consume few years of my life.

I have just stareted uploading everithing in alphabetical order.

By the way this forum is very helpful, i have found cars that i do not have in my database. So apparently 15 years to make it was not enough  ;)

Since i got a great deal of help here i have took the liberty to ad a link and a banner to this forum here, in the links/partner section.

Hello.
I am back with some news; i have dropped the website idea, from various reasons and now, whren my database is complete i have just started to mad a book series called:

"The most complete car encyclopedia"

This series will have more than 10.000 car brands and 50.000 car models (i have stopped counting them, so this is an estimator as it could be more but not less).

The book series covers all the car categories: series production, concepts and prototypes, race cars and coachbuilt. There are also included kit-cars and single-seater racers.

I'll be back later with more information.

PS:
 The first volume is already printed and available (see pics in the attachment) and covers all the car brands from AA to AL and their models , totaling 362 car brands and 1353 models.
You can see some pics of it in the attcahment.

I'm happy you post it here...I'm sure this is the best place where you can find people interested in your work.
I already saw it on your facebook page and it's terrific...for the 1st time 'the most complete' claim is true!
We exchanged few mails already and you know what I think about...I can put my thoughts here, but I'd prefer to see what other thinks about.
Be sure I'll have a copy of the whole opera sooner or later.

Cool!
I already know, but I'd like you to explain here how this encyclopedia will be released.
I'd like to know the opininon of other members about (some of them are writers\publishers) and see if they share my thoughts.
I like it very much.  :thumbsup:

Good point.
I guess i felt just like talking to you, when posting here, so probably that's why i was so brief in my presentation.

I have just started writing a good description of the project, especially for this forum. Do you think i should post it here, in the ex car website tread, or make a new tread called "The most complete car encyclopedia" ??

My opinion is that you should use this section:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?board=31.0

Now it's no more a project, but a real book and that seems to be the right place!
