Introducing the 'Car of the Month'?

Post by coyote1980 » Sat Dec 20, 2003 11:33 am

Hi everyone,

as the year is reaching its end I was thinking about a new feature on the homepage, to be precise: a "Car of the Month"!

It would be a different car each month and the owner can tell a long story about things like how he got the 480, what he likes and/or dislikes about her, just whatever comes to his mind, all things that make your car special basically.

How people can sign up for being car of the month must still be figured out, maybe when logged in you can put a checkbox on some page, or even upload the story and pictures, or just mail it to me. This poll is just to see how you think about it.

You're all free to put a reply in this thread of course ;)

Sounds good to me! Perhaps you could set up an area on the Club site dedicated to the 'Car of the Month'. or is this what you are proposing?

The idea was a new page with a story from an owner and some pics of his car. These pages would stay on the server so that it's possible to view previous Cars of the Month too! :)

We will need to set up a voting system. Or a 'name in a hat' system.
