Possible Windscreen card design

Post by SteveP »

Just been messing about in Photoshop, and made a business card size V3M information card to place on owners windscreens etc.

EDIT: That white line on the left isnt supposed to be there! :lol:

I like that a lot Steve! Very handy to carry and nicely visible too. I think we need those making into an A4 sheet to make it easier for people to print them, and cut them out and downloadable from the site.

Does make us sound a tad..... efficient...... though maybe ;) Good idea though. Maybe one with a sedate 300 in the forest for standard looking cars, and a 300 going sideways round a roundabout with lots of smoke for modded looking ones :P

That one should be printes as A4 and placed behind the windscreen wipers. Just in case an example of Volvo's original target group gets behind the wheel... An elderly person can't read businesscard format... :mrgreen:

Great idea. Can I suggest a more basic version to be a little more printer friendly? I have a couple of pics I think are suitable - one being the 'rally' shot from the 89 owners manual. I'd also add the text about 'what we do'...y'know...meets, advice, taking the piss out of Steve ;)

Stuart , suggest a suitable location and date and I am sure we would come up to you , Autumn 2005 perhaps ,after all I went to Leeds last week just to get a set of alloys ,all you gotta do now is get a new 300 , the meets dont always have to be central, perhaps now we have a decent membership ,we should think about regional meets as well as National ones

This coming from a man who jumped ship and bought a Vauxhall! Local meets might be a bit misleading though...
