Talk:Superformance

I'm glad someone is finally writing this page... as a Shelby Daytona Coupe owner (SPF Coupe) and friend of Peter Brock, I'm happy to participate in this page's evolution/editing once a draft is posted. 69.219.145.23 01:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Is there any info that you can contribute (pictures would help a lot!). I am also trying to compile information to create the Peter Brock (American) article. The current Peter Brock is an Australian sports car racer (and just so happens to have driven an Aussie version of the Daytona Coupe). I know the American Peter Brock worked for GM before helping Shelby, and later worked on Datsuns, but other than that I don't know too much. -BMan1113VR 20:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have many pictures and Peter Brock (the American auto designer of Washington, not Australia) and his wife, Gayle, are personal friends... happy to work with you on this article. Let me know how I can help. I don't know how to upload/share photos on Wiki, maybe you can help me (or I can email them to you)? Sodfijd 23:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I'm the user that posted the first post on this discussion page, but wasn't logged in. Sodfijd 23:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thats great, thanks! I will write the article sometime this month and send you a preview draft. As for pictures, any car pictures would be great, as well as a picture of the man himself. To upload an image click on "Special:Upload" and upload a file from your computer. BMan1113VR 06:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

here are two of the best pics (though neither is a pic I took), I put as much as I know in the description area for each... the first is of Lance Stander's car, the second of an original Daytona Coupe with Peter Brock:

First shot is beautiful (great for Superformance Coupe) and the second is very useful (for Peter Brock (American). . .do either follow the wikipedia fair use guidelines? -BMan1113VR 08:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
