Setting up JW cars archive

[TT]

My outbox never had so many PMs waiting to be read by the receiver :D

I think I didn't forget anybody, but here is below the copy and paste for the ones I forgot:

Just a little detail: we are talking about your cars.. in the topic I will post we don't want to have parent's, borhter's, friends' and so on cars.. just your one(s) :)

here is the standard PM I send around tonight:

--

Hello, I send you think PM because we are setting up a new topic in "what do you drive" section and you were one of the members wich posted a topic in there. It will be our official car archive, it will be a closed sticky topic updated by me with, in alphabetical order, something like this:

Username, location, car owned

[PICTURE linking to the topic with the car]

And here is why I write this PM: ALL the pics in his topic will HAVE TO BE the infamous "custom shot": owner manual placed somewhere on the car. This way it won' be a problem anymore to ask or not to ask: everybody posting his car's pics will need to take that pic too. Anyway it just take 2 min to take such picture!

Of course if you own more cars, the same goes for all of them

To send me the pic(s), either upload it on imageshack.us (or another host as you can find in the sticky topic in "car gallery") and gimme the link. Please don't upload a BIG pic: 600x480 will do, or at least create also a smaller one that link to the big one. If someway you prefer to email the pic to me, [email protected] will do, but please include your correct username in the email.

BTW, in case your original topic has just red Xs by now, you could edit it with working pics ;)

I hope you will post this picture because IMO it is a great idea to have such simple topic that will allow to see all the cars togheter :D

Thanks in advance.

Either the service manual, a JW page printed out or something JW related could do :D

And BTW, I have to take this pic myself too LOL!

[Jabba]

I didnt get a PM...I wanted to get something like this up on the front page for a while now...something like the RF featured car...

Any ideas...anyone know of any websites that have something like this ?

[yg60m]

HAHAHA, nice idea but i doubt anyone would be interested by my Kia Sephia :lol:
So i will let the place for really interesting cars :wink:

[Tomerville]

Great Idea!

By the way Gis just write I'm the 56K modem king. :mrgreen:

[AlienDB7]

Or my oldsmobile alero (no, not the prototype in my avatar) :oops:

[yg60m]

Or my oldsmobile alero (no, not the prototype in my avatar) :oops:
Not that bad :? I like the design :wink:

[Anonymous]

LOL i'm gonna have to wait till everyone in my house is out then nick my dads digi camcorder LOL no digi cam here or owners manual and it'd be top difficult to explain what i'm doing to my folks :D 8) Anyway will the haynes manual do....... I use it enough sadly :wink:

BTW TT you missed me out :( :P :wink:

[Jabba]

I think we will have to think of an alternative to the owners manual...how about keys on top of the roof or something.

[yg60m]

Yes, the key is the only thing that would be hard to not have :wink:

[Anonymous]

LOL suits me....i have a mini keyring on mine so no doubt...... however my feeling is a skilled photoshopper my be able to cheat :? what do you guys think?

[rob_e1]

Yeah, pistonheads has a similar thing, is a "members cars" area.. Allows you to post running costs and pics. Here's mine:

http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showCar.asp?carId=161

Will do my obligatory "owners manual" shot when it comes back from being serviced (yeah, like that sounds genuine.. lol!)

[gis]

the key idea jabba is a good idea.ill be doin my pic soon (just charging the batterys for my camera) so whichever is decided i will do

[TT]

Well yes I just suggested the manual, but of course I see not everybody has it, so we can indeed create an escape route if no owner or service manual is available. I'd say the key on the roof could be ok :D

[TT]

Well not many cars, but I wanted to see it up already ;) -> http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?p=196672#196672

Not bad for a start IMO :D now if we could have a 355 or a Diablo to spice it up :P

As for the front page, where no idea exactly how to do it and implement something like that... this is just a simple topic, already not bad, but nothing to do with the front page :(

[TT]

I think we will have to think of an alternative to the owners manual...how about keys on top of the roof or something.

jabba...are you trying to get out of this? faker!

:D :wink:

Yes indeed! To easy with the keys! You need AT LEAST a rat!

http://img23.exs.cx/img23/5840/rat1.th.jpg (http://img23.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img23&image=rat1.jpg)

Here is my custom rat picture then :

[TT]

Hell, bigger engine bigger rat? In the Diablo you will find a beaver :D

[Jabba]

hahahhah yes....

If I am a faker then that must be a world record at finding a rat on a 355's engine picture....good luck to anyone else trying to find one.

[TT]

Dang, I feel sorry for the poor rats now :D I hope nobody will really hunt some down :D

[mitsucars]

LOL at the rat.. would a cat looking for a rat also be acceptable ? :P

[yg60m]

:lol: take care , it will grown very fast :wink: i could propose a dog looking for a cat looking for a rat :P

[Jabba]

Damn....we will have a custom shot of Noahs Ark the way its going :P

[SamuraiGti]

Mine is in the mechanic, not working for now.

Next week probably will work. And then I'll post the pics of the "car".

[DanielW]

i'll take the custom pic tomorrow and post it.

[TT]

Thanks in advance to everybody :D the archive just became the "registry" :D and a new car/member was added :D

[draak666]

hahahhah yes....

Hmm, I do find it kinda suspicious that you found a rat in so little time....

[oscargarza88]

hey TT i just sent u the pic, its a bit different but better...
and Jabba how can u keep ur engine sooo clean!! it like its brand new! oh and dont forget to post pics of the lawn mower to proove its urs! caus eim still not sure :wink:

[draak666]

As I am now on smallband, I believe that the registry should have a '56k or less warning'. :?

[TT]

Yes oscar, got it, gonna edit nw, and sorry draak, indeed of course in there hopefully there will be lot of pics soon (will put the warning) :D

And about you :D why not to post your own Bimmer's topic? :D with all those Minis we have to post all the BMW possible :D

[RC45]

HAHA before calling me Donny, please post your pic :P

I - uhm - well, let me launch Photoshop.. I mean let me get my digital camera.. oh wait, my dog ate it.. ;)

[mit5005]

Is it Ok for me to stand in front of the car with a sign saying something about Jabbasworld? That would be a cool idea IMO.

[TT]

Is it Ok for me to stand in front of the car with a sign saying something about Jabbasworld? That would be a cool idea IMO.

Well, only if you don't have owner manula or service manual or the keys :D.. ;) we are trying to have all the pics the most similar possible ;)

[mit5005]

Ok then I will just use the keys, even though they are not that distinguishing.

[Jabba]

You can always use a Rat on the engine.

[TT]

Ok then I will just use the keys, even though they are not that distinguishing.

You could add a JW logo or something like that ;)

[mit5005]

I know, I will see if I can make a JW style keychain or something and put it with my keys. Now where can I find equipment to make those? :lol:

[Jabba]

What is wrong with using a Rat on you engine ?

[TT]

In Florida they have the Everglades ;) -> no rats but log of alligators and such :D

[Jabba]

How about a snake then ?

[draak666]

Gotta love that lamboman character. :D

[gis]

^^^ yeah u have to,heard he lives in a shed and drives a fiat panda aswell

[sameerrao]

Forced me to get my car washed to take the custom pic....

[novass]

Hey TT, I got your pm and responded back, but ill ask my question again. I dont have a manual for my Nova, the Audi I have a manual for, but what kind of photo of the Nova would be acceptable?

EDIT: LOL, as soon as I posted this I saw you responded to my PM. Ill figure something out. Ill print out a JW sticker or something and slap it on for the photo.

[sameerrao]

Put the keys on the hood perhaps ....

[fabro_s]

So you only need the custome pic???? the one with the manual??

[Fast_car006]

I keep forgetting to take the pic. I get it done before I get thecams installed.

[Anonymous]

And about you :D why not to post your own Bimmer's topic? :D with all those Minis we have to post all the BMW possible :D

Oi! Whats wrong with all these Mini's then :wink: did you think i wouldn't notice that sly comment cos i'm not around much anymore? :P :twisted: :wink: Perhaps i should tell a few of my mini owning friends about JW..... you wouldn't know what hit you!! :P 8)

(maximum smiley usesage then very much in the TT style :P :wink: )

[gis]

LOL i had to park it there to take the pics there is usually my dads other car parked along side my mini (see E class in foreground) his 2CV which he takes to work rather than the merc LOL

[gis]

[cho_888]

[Skyliner]

[TT]

HAHAHA ;) luckily the Mini beeing so small, we could hide many of them in some JW closet ;) if needed :P

Ah, congrats for the smilies :D :) ;) :P

[gottacatchup]

Dude, I never sent so many PM in a day ;) and that's why I posted also this topic: I was sure I missed somebody :D

When you have the pic, PM me ;)

[sikx5]

Hey TT,
i will send you some pics of my car, its for sale at the moment, but i shall take some customs pictures tommorrow for you guys. Once its sold i will buy a aprillia rs125 :D

[TT]

Well since I don't think you have a topic for it, it better to actually open the topic about your car, and then give me the custom shot: so basically I can link from the registry to the topic ;)

[Anonymous]

lol,he chooses to go to work in a 2CV rather than an E-class.can i ask why? lol

LOL i'm a bit late replying but mid life crisis would be my guess :P :wink: Seriously though we live a good hours journey away from his workplace so the idea is to keep the miles resonably low on the merc so as not to lose so much in depreciation

[LotusGT1]

One tip, I'd unsticky the featured cars, in 2 out of 3 topics the pics don't work no more...

[cooperluke]

Any ideas...anyone know of any websites that have something like this ?


I make part of a Mini Club website where we have a section called, MyCars.

It's very well done, if you want to see it, just go to www.minipt.net!

Just another thing... can we post our old cars? I mean, cars that were ours? We could validate them by posting a picture of us near the car, and then a custom picture of us.

Very good idea!
