Hello,

We operate a free news server at http://www.zippo.com and we wanted to expand  
some of the information we could make available to our users, and perhaps give 
some exposure to people on a very busy site.

On a monthly basis, our Internet Gallery showcases a variety of different topics 
that relate to the various newsgroups within Usenet. This month�s gallery 
features some incredible Computer Rendered Illustrations from some talented 
artists found within Usenet newsgroups, and we are currently in the process of 
preparing the gallery for the month of August. We are hoping to feature cars 
(custom rods, muscle cars, street/race cars, etc.), and the people that build, 
and love them. We are currently starting to organize this next feature and are 
looking for anyone interested in participating.

We were planning to provided an area for various car owners to include pictures 
of their car (engine compartment, outside body shots, interior, etc..), a 
picture of themselves, as well as a section for you to write a little something
about the car itself. The written section can be a couple paragraphs, and can 
include whatever info you think would be interesting about your vehicle...

As an example....

*If you built the car, you could write about the process that went into putting
 it together.

*If you race the car, you could talk about where you race it, why you enjoy 
 racing it, how the car has done at the track.

*If you show your car at custom car shows, what that experience may be like, or
 what went into building it.

Since there is some preparation involved in assembling each month�s gallery, 
for anyone interested in contributing, I would need to receive the material and 
information I mentioned above, by July 24th.

If you get a chance, take a look at the current Internet Gallery area to get an 
idea of what we are trying to accomplish. Even though this month�s gallery is 
featuring images of illustrations, you can get a general idea of the basic 
layout and content that each gallery is built upon. If you should have any 
questions, or comments, about the kind of material or info we�re looking for, 
please let me know. For those interested, I�ve included the link for both the 
Zippo home page, as well as the main page of our Internet Gallery. Thanks for 
your time.
