While I think of it, somebody mentioned to me yesterday (I think it was Tal) about getting Boards Motors Stickers done up, I enquired about this before and the line from the office was that it wouldn't be ok, if somebody got one and was acting the muppet etc etc

TBH I'd have to agree, look at the name Midnight Club got, even though 90% of the members over there are actually sound

What if there was a system in place to ensure that this didn't happen?

Something like a thread started where you ask for one and have to post a picture of it on your car along with something like having to tick an agreement thing to say that you won't give it to anyone else?

Also each user only gets one. I know there's a lot of holes in the overall idea

It's not down to the type of car, it's down to the muppet behind the wheel. Too much work for very little reward imo

I know that but it's kind of a way of making sure that it wasn't given to someone else.

Sure think about it, someone could do up their own sticker or even just print onto a piece of paper and put it in their window.

It's not my call, far from it. It's down to Dav really, I personally would like it and would out one on my car(s) but I do see the drawbacks

MetzgerMeister

Well how about making it your call Gary?! haha

I do see the drawbacks too but I am of the opinion that each person on the motors forum, from what I can tell, isn't going to act the git.

Then again you can't account for everyone.

I don't see how it could be my call!

If somebody wanted to they could ask Dav, maybe one of the mods? and discuss the pros and cons with him

Would it be possible to get stickers made up that don't relate to or states boards on them but that the users of the motors forum will recognise?

A symbol or something but no text, I guess that might work?

That's not a bad idea.

How about our usernames in a certain font and our car manufacturer's logo either side?

Or an adaptation of the ATWR logo?

PaulKK

What about something small like the ones from bmw-driver?





They are small and not too obvious but are nice to have anyway.

PS, please excuse filthy car, its clean right now

MetzgerMeister

Can't see pics Paul

Sorry, linked it from bmw-driver! Should be fixed now.

MetzgerMeister

Tal, that's a cool sticker and all but it wouldn't suit my tastes to have it on my car

I can picture me driving around *Skoda Badge Vectra Skoda Badge*

MetzgerMeister

What the feck kind of quoting are you trying to do their vectra?!

Ah sure it's a wonder Opel aren't part of the VAG by now!

Ah I'm kidding :P

I think a subtle name would be good alright...

Like: Motors Forum or similar

Quazzie

How about

"/Motors/<username>"
