Welcome to JRCENTRAL.COM forums obviously you are here because you have an interest in scale vintage powered automotive replicas? This website is designed to be a community rather than a static page like it’s predecessor ROADKILLONTHEWEB.COM this website will be limited to powered (electric, gas engine etc.) either ride on or ride in replicas of full size production cars that were used as promotional products for dealerships.
This part of the site is designed to be interactive between collectors, Restorers, parts suppliers and fans. In order to keep the amount of computer generated postings to a minimum this is a member’s only site that will keep them from posting and I can always cancel anyone’s account that posts items that do not belong here. I would encourage members to write articles about their cars or their collections. If you know of a source for parts to restore the little cars share that information! There are at least three different places offering restoration services on Junior cars they will be allowed to generate their own pages on this site as a service to other members who may need a restorer or just want to look at a completed or in-process restorations. Any images posted to this website are there to be shared. If you do not want anybody using the images for magazine articles/ car show displays do not post them!
Pedal cars!
There is and has been a good following for the pedal car market for many years and there are many websites on the internet that provide information on them. This website will not delve into that subject unless it is a product made by one of the companies currently listed on the site, and the pedal car is fiberglass or plastic bodied and replicates a full size production model.
Membership!
Anyone can read and enjoy the postings and articles on this site but you must be a member to post articles, images, board postings and download large images
Use of images and information on this website!
I would encourage members to print out images from this website to be used as a display when showing your mini car at your local car shows. As so little is known about these little cars that it will help let people viewing them know that they are not just built in someone’s garage! You should list this website address on the display for additional information for those that are interested.
Magazine articles/ club newsletters
If you want to use information or images from this website for magazine articles please contact me so that I can help. So little is known about these little cars that education of the collecting public can only help find more of them, find more parts or parts sources for them and information that will be useful for our members. Generally I only ask for of a copy of the final issue and mention of the website in the article in return. Even though promotional cars have been around for a long time they have only recently become very collectable. Any article written about them can only help to find more “Automotive archeologists”
With information on these rare and unusual mini cars.
Sale of images from this website is prohibited.
The information that is on this website is there to promote the collecting of junior cars through sharing of information between interested parties. Anyone found selling images from this website would loose their membership privileges! And what ever else can be done legally to stop the sale.
