It's about cars for people who are into car design - Boring as hell for people who aren't.

Hmm... OK. I saw this site yesterday, but I didn't have the time to review it then. I see it is still review-less, so I'll give it a shot. I'll try to be gentle, but I also want to give you an honest review...

...and, honestly, this page looks like it has just crawled from the murky depths of 1995 (equivalent to the Paleolithic period of web design). From what I can see, your pages are merely a collection of thumbs (with black borders) centered on the page, along with some italicized, bold text that is also centered. Clicking on the thumbs will eventually lead me to a graphic sitting all by itself (ie, not in an HTML page).

You don't have important elements like a DOCTYPE or encoding, and you are still using things like center and font tags. Normally we spend a lot of time in this forum trying to get people to switch from table-based layouts to CSS, but apparently you haven't reached the table stage yet. Not that that's a bad thing, of course. My advice at this point, though, would be to take a look at some HTML resources, try to get a handle on the current state of the art, and then start messing around. If you run into any problems, you can always post them in the HTML Forum.

Another good way of learning is by taking a look at the source of other pages. I'm not saying you should lift code directly, but looking at source can give you a good idea of how people do things.

Well, I guess this really wasn't all that much of a review, but I think you really need to start with the basics--overwhelming you with a million suggestions on how to improve your page is probably not going to be very helpful at this point. There are a lot of intelligent and helpful people around here, so if you stick around and keep an open mind I guarantee you'll learn something about web design. I can't even begin to tell you how much I've learned from the people here.
