  Yes, at one time, there was...problem is, how much
can 5-10 "regulars" talk about over a few months
period of time? The chat talks lasted about 4-6 weeks,
then petered out due to lack of new conversational
content. If you already have your car done, there's
nothing to do to it. If you're stalled in your efforts
like me , there ain't much to ask for now. At first,
around 20 showed up....then it dropped to 10 after a
few weeks, then 4-5...then, it just stopped. Tough to
keep chats going with no new content.

  Best thing to do, Joey, is find a suitable chat
forum for all to join ( MIRC, or the AMC Forum chat
room ), and then do an email invite for a specific
day/time at least 2-3 days in advance. Email on Monday
for a Thursday or Friday evening chat. There's an AMC
chat on Sunday nights from 9-11 pm EST, but it's
usually only about 4 of us now, regulars, just killin'
time. If you come to MIRC, the room is called
#amc_cars, that's "pound sign" AMC "underscore" cars.
Located on any EFnet channel you can find ( there are
plenty of -nets, EFnet is the one the AMC room uses ).
  I've been to the AMC Forum and logged into their
chat room, but it is usually empty these days. Rarely,
I run across someone there. But I don't go there
often, either. Maybe what we AMCer's need is a "BLAT"
room, a cross between a Chat and a Blog. You can log
in, throw your message out, come back later, and maybe
even live chat with others. Just a thought for future
Internet inventors...LOL! I think the AMC forum has a
similar format, they list different topics, then you
scroll down, add comments, only thing is there's no
life chat there.
  Or a separate Buddy List for AMC people, problem is
you need to belong to Yahoo or AOL/AIM to get that. I
already have AMC buddylists on them myself. 
  Anyway, pick a format, tell people how to get there,
and set a date/time, and see what happens!
