How many people have good photos of other peoples cars?? I know i don't have photos of my mates cars.

But more importantly there needs to be more incentive, like the car spends the month of the front page, that would look sweet.

I like that, maybe a "feature" article like they do at the Vortex?

www.vwvortex.com for those that dont know it. They do features on members' cars on the homepage.

Perhaps we could have a members gallery for all our cars, ideally with a small area for us to write a blurb about our car and two photo spots for a Before/After. Then, I'd imagine, we could look through those, and nominate the folks we want based on the current state of the car versus the before and the mods done inthe blurb.
This way we needn't know the person to nominate them, and we needn't resort to nominating ourselves.

In addition to the "featured" article, this would be excellent I think. We could use photobucket, or flickr to host the images so your hosting fees don't go up.

Robspeed,

Do you know this poll is closed?

I like citizenchan suggestion totally. We should have all our pics on here somewhere, because we are all 02 owners and each one is special. I also suggest that in order to have your car posted here you should submit a contribution of at least $10.00 to help pay for this wonderful site.

I will be the first to contribute and I know we have loads of members; who want to see their cars on this site.

So Steve do I get to be number one? LOLOMA

All great ideas. Any responses from the admins?

Rob here's my suggestion. Have your kid randomly pick a FAQ member name from a list. That's the car of the month. Send an email to that person and ask for a couple pics and brief write-up of how they came to own the car, why they like 02's, future plans, etc. etc..

It's difficult to nominate when a lot of us only know a few people that have 02's and actually know what they look like. If it's done a bit more randomly I think it opens more people up to having their car featured. Plus, all types of 02's, from basket cases to show cars, get exposed.

+1. Me likes that idea.

Wow, that's an interesting twist to the usual "Car of the Month" game. I think I like that. It allows everyone to get to know everyone's car eventually.

I guess you'd have to figure out a plan for the raffle style selection and how to deal with the constant influx of new members. You'd also have to set a suspense for those nominated to get back to you with photos and information on their car. Anyway, cool idea.
