A quick look on updates, new models, new info recently added to Global Auto Index.
We are now doing a thorough overview of the database. There are some areas, e.g. kit- and speciality cars where we face some challenges, due to the quick appearance/disappearance of aspiring new companies. We are grateful to our regular contributors: the Global Auto Systems team, also Robert Jablonski of World of Cars fame, Peter Homola, Marcus Sanders, Dwaipayan Mitra, Arunas Racelis for their assistance. We appreciate any feedback on new/outdated info - Pal Negyesi, Editor
