But when the loaction says "Derbyshire", that means nothing to a southern boy like me. I can see exactly where everyone is by looking at the map!

Good job!

really don't see the use of this, as the member's locations can be displayed below the avatar on all forum pages....
Don't take it so seriously, it's fun to see where everybody lives.
Leather, leccy windows and mirrors, snowcap, foglights, open air filter, black roof upholstery. What more do you want? >a 2.3 turbo!

Think it this way, you are found this new forum that has all info from your car and you would like to know if there is other guys in your area using this forum.

Would you:

A) Browse trough member profiles

B) Use this map that you found from general discussion

C) Ignore all instructions @ http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php and post new thread asking is there anyone in your area.

I believe that option B is best of these, so I added myself there too, also looks like I live quite north :P

For some reason it was difficult to make it accept that I live in London in the UK not in Arkansas, so there's a few false starts on there now :? Could you delete them please Adam?

Maybe you'd fancy moving poor Omar from Moscow, Idaho.

These Americans, they're a bunch of plagiarists.
