That's an idea!
Now, concerning the transparency, I think it's something important... And as James said, it's not the best way to tell here on the forum how much everyone has given...
So... My idea is... to involve someone from the forum as a "witness", someone who will have access to the v3m paypal account, who will see all the transactions and can confirm what I say here and that everything is used for V3M!
What do you think about that?

I for one do not think this is neccessary - I am prepared to trust you this.
It will soon be obvious that the money is not going for hosting when the site collapses and you have a new S60R........
If that should ever happen I'm willing to bet you'd no longer have the most ecological 300 as revenge inspired oil, coolant and brake fluid leaks could hardly be construed as ecological!!!!!

Thanks!
I know that most of you will trust me

but with that "method", all the transactions are guaranted 'secure' for the contributors and it's a good thing... Doubts are not allowed!

Thanks Aymat for the trust involved here. I too felt that we all trust him, but as Aymat says, there should be no doubt, or any questions can be immediately checked, and rather than allegations being thrown around with no proof either way, things can be shown and easily proved now now! All doubt is removed.
Nice touch indeed on the V3M donor under the names.
Pete

Wheres the fun in 4wd

After bringing back the 360 saloon, joining a dual carriageway on what must've been a very slippy roundabout, the back end slid out to the right infront of an Impreza driver who probably didn't even notice any lack of grip - as he over took he glanced across with the expression 'WTF!!!!111' written all over his face, classic!
Wasn't even due to crap tyres/360 handling, my mate in a Streetwise (which handles very well) infront got monumental understeer, I was quite impressed I got no understeer, just a flick of the tail

4WDs can be massively amounts of fun, in fact in a similar kind of way to the 300. They just have to be set up right

All the modern stuff (like the Scooby) are set up for out right grip, try something older like an XR4x4. Absolutely mental!
That's the one car that could potenitally tempt me away from the 360 again (but I suppose I shouldnt really say that here

)

It transfered to the mug, can't be in two places at once! I think it may be down to the problems at his Uni, hosting is down.
