About this site
I run the thanetonline.com website (mostly old pictures of the local area and links to local sites) I also run the secondhand bookshop in Ramsgate michaelsbookshop.com and have put this site together with help from the owners and staff of Ramsgate Motor Museum.
Apart from a limited knowledge of 1950s British motorcycles gained while misspending my youth my knowledge of old vehicles is very limited, so please
This is my first motor vehicle a '1956 BSA c12' in about 1975 bought as a box of bits for I think about £20 an inexpertly assembled.
If you know of any interesting motoring links please send me the details and I will include them.
If you have any interesting information about the cars in the museum please send that too.
I should like to add that we found visiting the museum and photographing the cars a delight.
As far as copyright goes you can use the pictures for any non commercial reason as long as you mention our website address. Anything commercial E-mail me and I will sort something out for you.
The links are arranged in series of frames for several reasons, mainly that I use them myself and they are easy to update this way and it helps some of the smaller sites to get on the search engines.

To be honest a lot of this is a bit beyond my understanding but some of you have asked why there is no counter on the site.
I have been through today 26/Sep/2003 and removed all broken links, I hope.
