Well done. Nice color scheme, and a good, simple layout.

There are only a couple things that don't work for me - one, I don't see the significance of a car on the pages. I like the head (good drawing by the way) and the computer is fine since it has something to do with the topic of your site, but the car just seems out of place. I think you could also make the content box a bit bigger - it's kind of frustrating having to scroll when there's not much text there at all ('about' page).

It's a beautiful and efficient site! I agree the car may seem a tad irrelevant. But it appears to be modeled after a classic American Ford or Mercury estate car, is that right?

not too shabby.....wish there were more photos, and more content in general...but the design is pretty unique....

and one more for the road

hey thanks for the feedback.
heres another site jarred has just done recently and would like some feedback

Both sites have good typography. The first has colors that I'm not crazy about, but they aren't bad. The second I do like.

My only comment is that the first one doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense with regard to what the site is about.

Also, i think having the background color not the same as the foreground would help, just in order to build some more page contrast.
