Please excuse this bomb:

http://www.superad.com/live/

I'm in the process of setting up a web site that is designed to find
old cars from On-line Classified ads nation wide. Every day, the site
scans in about 200 on-line classified ads, indexes them, finds out
what changed from the day before. I'm no where near making any money
at this - never will, I'm sure. but there is nobody else doing this 
sort of thing as far as I know. 

Since I have no agreements with the newspapers, I can only return
results in the form of URLS, that is, I can't extract the ads themselves
without breaking copyrite law. The good side is that I can use any/all
the newspapers I wish.

Because of the random nature of web document layout, this search cannot
be fielded but, if you can accept this limitation, you'll find the
database to be quite large. The most powerful feature is  setting
up an agent that will search for your car/parts every day and send
you email if anything pops up.

Limitations:

   - The whole thing is in the testing phase, anything can happen.
     But I figure that Tr owners should be familier with something
     in this state.

   - The program that detects the difference between one day and 
     the next is not perfect, you may get false hits. (I'm still 
     working on it).

   - The web pages are still in flux.



Query language (Have not set up the page for this but basically):

  Say you are looking for a Triumph Herald, then use
         
            triumph <near> herald

  Although just "triumph" is plenty interesting enough.

  I'll be trying to improve the site as time goes on.

Enjoy,
Steve Benelisha
