No, its not really just the teens, though by teens I imagine you are meaning younger folk in general. Every person I know (I'm 26) uses Facebook, including myself, despite the fact that I despise it. Unfortunately its a necersary evil if you want to follow peoples progress easily overseas and it makes it much easier for them to communicate back here, ie rather than sending mass emails etc they can just update a single page that all can see.
That said, I don't know if too much promotion is needed. Providing an area that has a relaxed and enthusiastic social aspect, along with a helpful technical base is key and if we can create this, people will come. I know its a bit of a cliche but I think its true.
This site is in no ways difficult to find if you have a desire to find it. Hopefully those people who want to find it will in turn, want to use it and post regularly along with contributing as best they can. Obviously this is easier said than done, because finding time to browse the internet gets more and more difficult as life goes on (am I suggesting that the general owner base of Opel vehicles is approaching their older years? Never..

So to summarise, you could advertise it everywhere and wave it under the nose of every one who might even be remotely interested but if they haven't gone out to find a place like this themselves, I strongly believe they won't contribute much, if at all.
