New Porsche Directory on the Internet.....

 

   Every once in a while, someone takes the initiative to work long and hard on a concept - and sees that same concept through to completion. Matt Olde (matt@type944.com) is one such Rennlist Member, who has created, authored and has just announced the premier Porsche Directory available within the Internet. Take a look at Matt's announcement below - I am confident that you will share my enthusiasm once you visit his site at http://www.p-caronline.com   

When Matt showed me a preview of his work some time ago - I pledged full support from Rennlist if he was able to bring his site into production. He has recently done just that - and in simple terms - it is OUTSTANDING! Therefore, it is with a great deal of excitement that I am sharing Matt's    announcement with all of you on the Rennlist e-mail lists.

   Outstanding job, Matt..!!!

   John D.   ~~~ Matt's Original Announcement ~~~

   Hello Rennlisters!

   You may not know me, my name is Matt Olde, Rennlist Member - and I spend most of my time at the 924/944/968 board. I am pleased to announce, with the support of John D., the creation of the first complete and finest online Porsche directory (a.k.a. registry) is now operational. P-CarOnline.com, with the help of Rennlist, will probably become the most comprehensive Porsche directory on the Internet and for that, I'd like to list some of its    features:

   - · Members receive a P-CarProfile page, with the ability to upload 6 different images. · The P-CarProfile page has a "static" url, so that members can put their URL in the signature of forum posts or emails (i.e. http://www.p-caronline.com/directory/admin) · Members and non-members can search by Porsche Type number, model (turbo, S2, etc.), State, Country, multiple models in a state, etc., etc. - there are countless ways to search for other P-CarProfiles in the directory.

   -· Member-to-member private messaging, helping to keep your password private. · Non-member-to-member emailing via your profile page, with revealing your email address to the non-member (or other members) or the Internet in general (coming soon) · Ability to manage your P-CarProfile at any time, day or not, simply by logging into your Control Panel. · Free Web Hosting, where you can have your own Porsche-related website without those annoying pop-up banner ads that plague so many free-web-space sites.

   - Ability to have a message appear on your profile "This Porsche For Sale" if you are in the process of selling your Porsche. This feature is completely free, whereas with other sites you will pay to list your car for sale.

   A message from John D., the brains (along with Jen) behind Rennlist.com:

   -· The P-CarOnline directory will be permanently linked from the Rennlist.com main page and ·P-CarOnline.com will replace the current Rennlist Registries for the 914 owners, Member Registry, 993 Registry, 944 databases, etc. since it has many of the features that folks have been requesting are now available through the P-CarDirectory. For example, we are working together to assess if the 650+ Rennlist 914 database can be brought seamlessly into P-CarOnline, where it will reside in the future.

   - The P-CarDirectory replaces and improves anything currently available within Rennlist - and is better then any technology currently available from any Porsche organization within the Internet.

   This, of course, is exciting for me, P-CarOnline and Rennlist. I have been a Rennlist member for almost one year, but a Rennlist user for much longer. I am very excited that John D. is pledging his support for P-CarOnline.com, because my motivation behind creating the P-CarOnline Directory was to compliment Rennlist as best it could.

   We had a "preview" opening for the folks in the 924/944/968 board the past few days, and the feedback has been OUTSTANDING. We've had over 80 folks register their Porsches in just 2 days.

   Please come join us, upload your pictures, add your new P-CarDirectory URL to your forum signature, tell your Porsche buddies, and just enjoy P-CarOnline.com - because it's for YOU.
