How can an alt group be based in a country? It's a global thing...

It was started by a guy from the UK (I believe) and is contributed to by
mostly Europeans and the majority of them are from the UK

You could try uk.rec.cars.misc

Also, some web research on places like www.parkers.co.uk might help

If you want to access UK car groups then go to
