Title: Online Concourse
Post by: Brian Crump on 05 April 2007, 01:47 AM
Oscar is up his old tricks - BAD OSCAR
Actually, this is a brilliant idea. I intend to win the clean boot award... 8)
Read on and see what Oscar is suggesting -
QuoteI've thought in the past how good it would be to have an online concours event with forum members voting for different categories.
Ideas? I say let's do it. The burning question; who will judge? Should we all vote? Another poll? ;D
Styria will HAVE to win the 3 pointed star contest with that bird of his.
Regards,
BC

Nathan, I think it is time you invited us all over for dinner - so we can eat off your garage floor. ;D

Cool! when I'm bored I think I will paint my garage floor too.  But then i'll only be bored after I've rebuilt the front of the 107 and the engine of the 140.  Hmmm.  But the star on the floor is a nice touch.

It's a great idea if I do say so myself and I humbly accept members' nomination to be judge whereby the forum will sponsor me to travel the world to do the test driving and judging ;D ;D ;D

Nathan's just taken out the cleanest best designed garage floor  (applause)  He's given me ideas there

EDIT:  Greg wins the cleanset bundt award, I have a photo to prove it.  (applause)

Being biased and duly impressed with Koan's mp3 input for Becker radios, I nominate him for most original technical mod.

Bring it on peoples. What categories?

Bill...tis true, as a i said - get me some lithium...whilst your in the pharmacy, get PB some seroquel/respiradone!

i think there should be another award, and i reckon oscar takes it - latest (or is that earliest) recorded post in your own time zone!

I think before I enter any online Concourse my car needs a trip to the bodyshop, over the last week I have managed to

-bend my drivers side bumperette
-bend and dent both front chrome wheel arms trims
-cut off pieces from my front panel with a grinder and flare them out with a crowbar.

Its been aboriginal bush mechanics at their best, or worst  :D  :D

Enjoy your boot sticker, but look after it too. They are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. :( Mine is missing  :'(



Absolutely, mines starting to curl up and throw in the towel.  What about the one in the fuel filler cap?  Mine's punctured.  Door jamb ones are good thankfully.

We need to take very clear photos of each one.  I'm sure we could get them printed up again by some other means than official channels.  Looking for a friend that's doing up a 70's suzuki bike, a complete 3rd party repro' decal set was available from more than one place, including metal type stickers.

shite PB, i was unaware of that
i know the tire pressure one stuck on the B pillar is no longer available, and i dont believe the fuel filler cap is either...worst of all, the fuel emissions one in the engine bay is no longer available for the 6.9....
the hydraulic oil only one was no longer availabe about 4 years ago!!

Is the tyre pressure one in the boot the same as the 126? It is a red metal sticker? I bought one last year for my 126!
