It's sure is nice to get a compliment (and plug) like this from the outside world, but when I checked the site's "About Us" page, it further advised:

I don't like to assume to much, but I'm wondering if this article made into the newspaper as well. If so, looks like this site has made it to the Big Time!

Congratulations to BigKev and all the other supporters and contributors of this site.

Waydago BIG KEV..You da man!!

Brian: Thanks for posting the information about Packard info. I think we all owe Kevin a great deal of THANKS.

One of the things that make this site different from the rest, that the article didn't point out is as follows. The information that people have provided for this site is free and can be down loaded. More than can be said for the PAC web site.

The other thing that I like about Packardinfo, is that we have no persons coming in here begging for information. Then the person turns around and share that information with PAC, then isn't willing to make that inforamtion free to all that ask. Prime example the Packard movie list that is buried in the PAC web site.

Oh no, does this mean we have lost our black sheep underground status?!?!

J/K, I think is is great that we got some press about the website. It is all do the hardwork of everyone that helps out both here on the forums, and also the folks that have taken the time and effort with donating content to the website. Also thanks to various people that have donated cash towards the website hosting.

As I have always said this is your website, I just keep all the parts oiled behind the scenes.

Congrats to all and a a big Thumbs up to Kevin

Yes, congrats and kudos to Kevin for creating the greatest Packard site on the entire internet!! This Bud's for you!

There is a very nice 1/2 page writeup about the PackardInfo.com in The Packardian , which is the newsletter of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia.

Kudos to Mal for his efforts in both writing this and submitting it to the PACA newsletter. It's nice to see all of our efforts continue to get a some press all over the world!

Also thanks to Mal for sending me a copy of The Packardian so I see it!



Perhaps Mal (if permitted) can post a copy his writeup here so other people that do not have access to the The Packardian can view his handywork.

And kudos to BigKev for his input into the article too, his suggestions were vital to it's final format and the features packardinfo.com offers.

So Kev

And here's the article:

PACKARD WEBSITE

I'd like to bring to everyone's attention a Packard website, www.packardinfo.com.

There are a number of members of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia who are also packardinfo.com members or view the site as guests. Some members who I've met online or in person are Heather Moss, Peter Toet and Barry Smith. I also know a number of members who just log in as guests to the site only

I'd like to offer other members of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia the opportunity to participate in a friendly, entertaining and interesting website which caters to the needs of Packard owners exclusively and best of all it's FREE. Just log on to www.packardinfo.com

Many of these features will appeal to members or guests on the site.

However by joining packardinfo.com as a Member you will be able to contribute to the site, participate in the forums and the chat room as well as record your Packard/s in the Owner Registry.
