I like the idea of viewing others collections if Im in their general area. How about taking this a step further and have people post their collection with pictures? A new forum could be added with locked topic headings assigned to those that want to participate. Each user could take photos of their collections and post it in their labeled topic heading. (i.e. Jim "Oldgas" Potts automotive paint collection)
If the collector accepts visitors, post an e-mail address to schedule a time and location details. The rules that some speak about would seem to be common courtesy, but courtesy varies among people so I understand the need.
Just a thought...
