[bump]

I've seen a shiny black thing with spots drive past me, but today it was sat in the Co-op car park. I had a closer look; 343 DL, v. pimp, more stickers than Mick's Redline :D . So, I ran back to the office, scrawled the URL onto a piece of scrap paper, ran back to the car park and stuck it under the wiper.

How nice it would have been to have a little card in my wallet that I could have pulled out instead!

Was anything ever finalised regarding the design of such a thing? If not I may need to come up with a temporary solution as I have a pack of blank cards at home.

Cheers,

Gavin.

ive got one you can have , it says something about donating organs when I die on it, but you can have it if it makes you feel better Gavin

Everytime I approach a 300 to tell the owner about the forum the old sods start waving there umbrellas at me and shouting for the police, perhaps they think i'm gonna mug them

It's something I've been meaning to do, but as with many things, haven't had the time sadly. So, anyone who wishes to make a design up, carry on, or I will get round to it soon. I have too been sribbling on paper. I want a hoooge LED scrolling sign in my rear window instead, or even better on the roof for oncoming 300's, passed the very nice local 360 GLT 3 door, and numerous other 300's. Saw a 340 being given some serious stick around a corner in the local town by a young looking person the other day.

A bit lame this, but may be better than nothing.

I'll be printing a few cards to keep in my wallet. Also, to show my appreciation to all you groovy Prancing Moose guys I'll send out a few with the stickers. Let me know if you think anything needs changing.

Looks simple that very cool what about having the url in one line across the middle though so its easier to read!!!

My thoughts too. They're only the size of a credit card. Still, the man does have a point, it is easier to read on one line.

Well, hopefully when I leave a card on someone's windscreen they will be so intrigued about that they will visit the site to find out.

Gavin , do you want a hand funding getting soime proper cards made ?
if you look into it and get costings done I dont mind helping ease the financial burden and you should save money by buying semi bulk

Thank you Mick, that's very kind.

At the moment, I was only thinking of printing a few. I have an unopened packet of blank inkjet business cards. There are only 12 of us having moose stickers, so if I do 5 each that means I only need to print 60.

However, if someone came up with a good design and there was interest on the forum, I'd certainly be up for getting a batch made.

Cheers,

Gavin.
