Spotted

Post by B1GGM » Thu May 16, 2013 3:50 pm

Hi all

I know I'm only new but I think a 'Spotted' section would be quite good :)

There's been a similar section on all previous car sites I've been a member of and it's proved quite popular. Always interesting to know if you've been spotted out and about in your X by other site members :)

Cheers

P

problem is really with the amount of x series cars against the member on the forum it could just turn into a list of various x series car registrations, which I think is strange IMO

........  :))

On the subject of stickers I did consider asking someone to do a run of these, however, personally I wouldn't want to be cyber stalked by folk such as idiots who object to being safely overtaken.

Haha.
Just a wee URL would be nice. Could possibly drum up some new members along the way as well

Might be able to get waterproof film for my large format printer, but can't Mogsy do the job?  Talking of which, where is his Highness?

Stickers do sound good as long as they're done in a subtle way in a decent font replicating the actual site logo :)

Have just seen 2 X5's and an X6 in leamington but I have no place on the site to inform anyone to see if it was their car ;)  ha ha

In fact on one site I was on before I saw a car in Coventry and posted about it and within half an hour the owner posted saying he was at work and the car should have been at his home address. It had in fact been stolen! he was able to notify the police and it was recovered the same day :)

I have some club stickers on the rear windows of the wife's Celica. Don't look tacky and would happily have a similar type on the X.

I know there are a few forum members in my area (I'm in Dukinfield) and its always nice to give a nod to people who appreciate their car in the same way I do.
