Idea for the General Discussion area: Great Local Drives

[nelsonj]

How about adding a new Section in the General Discussion area: Great Local Drives. People for a local area can start their own threads and locals can contribute and comment.

For example, I would love to have Southern California thread. I just did a great drive today I would like to share, and I am sure other locals in So Cal would love to share their favorites and to read about other near-by drives. People in Northern California would likely set up their own thread and post their local drives.

If we get enough local areas going, people could use it to plan a Fiat road-trip or cross-country, and use the drives as "destinations" on their trip.

How about it Mr. Moderator Mr. Mark - if there is enough interest, would you set up a new Section in the General Discussion area "Great Local Drives"?

Thanks.

Back when the Ducatis Unlimited Connection site was active (It is presently lying fallow at http://duc-bz.github.com/) we had such a feature. Here is the way it was displayed (sans the "frames" - a common web feature from that period): http://duc-bz.github.com/favorite_roads_listings.htm

And here is the form members used to submit their recommendations: http://duc-bz.github.com/favorite_rides ... n_form.htm

Getting submissions was like pulling teeth. Everyone said the loved the feature. Everyone said that add their rides 'when the could.' Alas few actually did so.
