ShowOffYourCar is completely free.

Your Account

To register on ShowOffYourCar.com, go to the YourAccount page. Once registered, this is also where you edit your profile, record club membership and manage your cars.

Club/Forum Membership

If you are a member of any car clubs or forums, you can register your membership with those clubs on ShowOffYourCar. This enables people viewing the site to search for all members of a particular club and view their cars.

Once you have registered any club membership, you then need to associate each of your cars with the relevant clubs/forums. (see below)

Your Cars

To add a car to the site, click the "Add Car" link, below the "Your Cars" heading on the Your Account page.

When adding a car, make sure you correctly specify its make/model. You can also record any modifications you have made and performance figures if you know them.

Each car you add can be associated with one or more of your club/forum memberships. This ensures that when someone searches for a particular club, only the cars relevant to that club are displayed. For example, if you have a Toyota Supra and Subaru Impreza, the Supra would be associated to the Supra club and the Impreza with the Impreza club!

REMEMBER: You can upload up to 12 images of each car, so there is no need to add multiple cars for multiple images!!

Uploading Images

Once you have added your cars, they will appear under the "Your Cars" heading on the Your Account page. Below each car there is an "Upload Image" link which enables you to upload images of that car!

Images should be in JPG or GIF format only. Don't worry about image size, as each image uploaded will be scaled to a size suitable for the site. A thumbnail image will also be automatically generated.

To upload an image, browse for the file on your computer and click "Upload". It is very important that you only click the Upload button once, then wait for the Upload Image window to close itself. This ensures that your image is correctly uploaded, scaled, and associated to the car.
