Who Are We and What Do We Do:

Car Chat Club is not JUST about the CARS. It showcases the People, Places and Performance of Car Enthusiasts Everywhere!

Car Chat Club is an eZINE dedicated to showcasing fellow automobile enthusiasts while talking about great cars and their owners in a fun and informative way.

If you love cars as much as we do, you've probably been to every auto show within driving distance of your home. You've seen many great cars, maybe talked with their owners, and probably made many new friends this way.

Car Chat Club is a forum to expand those experiences. Rather than concentrate on technical testing aspects or the latest new hot car out of Europe, our focus is on the background and histories of the individual and their car(s).

For example:

How did the owner find that fabulous car? At an auction? On the web?

Did they drive 1,000 miles to see it and pick it up?

Who owned it before they did?

What changes to the car were made along the way?

How do they use the car?

Why did they want that particular car?

The stories are as endless as they are fascinating.

This is what sets us apart from other websites. We get to the heart of the auto enthusiast. Car Chat Club will give you the opportunity to know the people who own the cars we all admire so much. This focus provides readers with something they have been lacking elsewhere, probably without ever realizing it.

We would love to hear from you. Let us know what you think.
