Good choice James! A semi-see-through type outer / inner workings picture of a 300 would be cool - like a section view of part of the car! I hope you can understand what i mean...

hi!
I also like the idea of making the 340 shape an icon - like the VW ones of the Beetle or van.
the 340 wont be appreciated like them but I like the idea of number 1
I do like the idea of a promo T-shirt though but I think anyone with a 340 would recognize the shape and start a convasation so you could just tell em about V3M.
I cant explain it but plain number 1 is good

Enjoy your 300s

1 or 2 and maybe
www.volvo300mania.com on the backside. That would be cool!
I don't like text on the sunstripe, (except the Volvo In Sports in GrpA car). Too many ricers have all kinds of suff written on their sunstripes here, and I don't want to be mixed with those..
I'm definately going to buy this shirt though, no matter what it has written on, as long as it has the car on it.

Good work chaps, lets make sure this one is followed through this time! We might get t-shirts for Christmas 2007 otherwise! Seriously though, 2 and 3 is a good option, as lets face it, the only reason we are even considering t-shirts and communicate with one another is through V3M. So a small bit of promotion can't be bad, it doesn't need to be plastered everywhere, and probably not on the back IMO, however a mention is good!

I just find wearing V necks more comfortable.
I'm now starting to favour option 1, the plain design
As mentioned, other 300 owners would probably either a: not go to the site having seen it on a shirt, or b: talk to the person with the shirt, at which time the address can be given, with a V3M card
And it just looks more pimp

Funny enough I was going to suggest that either more of the original cards , or even an updated design with the wording of the original and this new picture would be a good idea .
I know having the same design on the T shirt's and the card is a bit corporate looking but whats wrong with presenting a professional front.
if that choice was adopted I would favour option 2 with just the small v3m on the number plate

What about Option 2+3 (As it seems to be popular) with the URL on the sleeve like kronenburg (SIC?) do on their shirts?
B980EAV '85 340 GL
SMO58Y '83 360 GLS
VK06FKP '06 Suzuki Swift 1.5 5dr
N62NTG '96 Ford Mondeo 1.8TD
And only 2 of them are on the road

I'm with Mick on the options and nice idea Gareth, a small URl on the sleeve is subtle, not on the main pic, but it's there! Good idea on card update, at least it will look professional.

You'll be lucky for 10... first investigations are looking around £15 to £20... but that is only going by what I've had done before.

Worth it for a good quality print, but you can get a simple A4 print on a shirt for £8, my friend had one done the other day.
The quality's not bad, but we'll see what sources everyone finds.

Anyone got any further with these???
I can get high quality multicolour printing on good quality (thick) t-shirts for £10 Inc T-shirt!
I have only ever done a few at a time as well (for gumball etc) im sure if i did a bulk order it would be a lot cheaper!!
wore mine every day on the gumball in sweltering heat + under cars etc...didnt mis-shape ...was very impressed!
