I am a little disappointed with the lack of participants on the BCCI
web site.   It takes ages to get people to join the group.  But there
are some interesting bits and pieces and it slowly expands.  Hit rate
is growing and coming from all corners of the earth.  So if you know
anyone who qualifies please give me their
address.  However................This is not the purpose of this
missive.......I have found quite a few larger than cottage sized
operations who specialise in a particular marque or part.  For
instance, I know of an outfit that makes valves, and only valves (he
made stainless steel valves for my Aston!)......another who makes
distributor caps and has spares for obscure vehicles.  So my thinking
is that maybe I should have a section that lists these specialists -
not the generalists like Moss (who are great but do not do obscure
stuff).   I was going to send my head (okay, okay resist jokes) away
to be flowed, ported etc. but by accident found a chap two miles away
who is renowned all over the world as an ace head man (again, no jokes 
please).

The people listed would be only involved in a special area, so while
the Aston Service-Dorset people could be listed as they ONLY do
Astons earlier than the DB 4.
BUT Kevin Kay Restorations would not qualify as they restore
literally anything.

So I need some input here.  Does this sound like a good idea to you?
