Hi there,
I like your forum. I'll let my hubby know about it because he belongs to a lot of auto forums. Word of mouth may help.

You could try creating articles within your forum, and then linking to those articles via digg.com to give your search rankings a boost.

In the begging you will have to personally answer lots of the questions since there is no one else around to do so.
Namaste
