Yes, a URL to another place that has space for more and better pictures (with
captions) would be great! The thing about the forum(s), is that, while we mainly
attend for help and support on repairs/upgrades/etc., the biggest, definable
content category that is missing is seeing and hearing about the
coaches/lifestyle when they're not being repaired/under-construction/etc. When
the coaches are all polished up, being used, having their uniqueness shown off,
and, once in while, getting their 15 minutes of fame!

In other words, a place where people can see and read about lots of coaches in
their prime, shining a positive light and helping glorify our special hobby, and
even increasing the value of our coaches! We've known our coaches are special,
vintage treasures, but now with the BB factory closed (and many others), they
are now officially collectible, unique, rare, and de-facto, more valuable. And
will be in-demand over the next several years as the economy recovers, people
want to buy high end RV's again, and yet hardly any new ones will be available!

So, an enhanced Bird of the Week feature (with full archive) would be a great
place for a potential coach buyer (weighing BB vs SOB), to see just what it is
that we are so fanatical about!

But mostly it would be a wonderful place we can go, to see what the other
members of our BB Family have done, get ideas on what we can do, and to live
vicariously when we're unable to get out and play with our coaches!
