Hey, I didn't think that stuff was going to be so sticky.

Matt, could you make up something that will fit over the area that I had on the left end for UK2? They need to be 4¼ inches high and 2 inches wide.

I have the paper for the whole cover but I need to cut it down to 110x520mm before feeding it into my printer. I'll be making 25 pair (white and buttercup). If any of you still have the one from UK2, please bring it along. The label on the end can be stuck over the first one.

SoYank · 03-10-2007, 01:54 PM

Would someone be interested in taking the list of attendees and making up some sort of name tag? That way we would stand more of a chance at remembering everyone. I'd suggest a first name with the screen name underneath:

Floyd
SoYank
Monaco Blue 330i

Of course, this means the names need to be known ahead of time.

Please could you print me a new set of plate covers Floyd- I gave the last set to the HK gang at a HK7 present!

Thanks in advance!

I'll knock something up for everyone, Floyd- no problem.

All the best.

No problem Floyd.

I'm no graphic designer, but here are a few ideas for comments...

Either of the middle designs get my vote, Matt!

All the best.

Viv

mjh93sa · 03-10-2007, 04:32 PM

Or...

mjh93sa · 03-10-2007, 04:37 PM

Plus I've been kicking about a bit of a design for the future without Floyd

I could just do with finding the right font for the .COM in the E90Post logo.

vivekk · 03-10-2007, 04:47 PM

is the one, Matt!

I've PM'd Mark to check on the '.com' font- will let you know.

Viv

vivekk · 03-10-2007, 04:49 PM

So far, I've got the following info about attendees.

Please can you help fill in the missing info?

Thanks.

Try using the same font as the other part but as a separate image and then bump them together, aligning the bottom.

The logo looks to use a different font for the .COM section.

Good point. I don't think not having the right font is a showstopper, though.

Nah, just me being pedantic.

Nothing wrong with that Matt- I've seem to have made a career out of it at the meets!

Just a quick note for those like me, who forget to keep their tyre pressures checked.

I hadn't checked them since last September, so thought I'd better do it today, before next weekend's meet.

Fronts are 225/40 R18 W88- should be 2.5 bar (36psi) - they were 28psi
Rears are 255/35 R18 W90 - should be 2.8 bar (40psi) - they were 32 psi

The recommended figures were on the driver's door sticker & for a max of 4 passengers only. (330i SE Sports Suspension)

I'm sure I didn't fill them to that level last time!

The suspension wasn't actually too bad before pumping the tyres up, but it has certainly improved quite a bit now!

Viv

mjh93sa · 03-11-2007, 11:58 AM

Ok guys... a few shots of the first test fit of the date plates.

White is fine for the front, but the back needs to black one not to look daft (I think).

+1 on the re-make of the cover please Floyd, these are getting a bit chewed up from trying out the options

mjh93sa · 03-11-2007, 11:59 AM

Just thought... do the above count as the first shots of the meet?

NFS · 03-11-2007, 12:15 PM

I'm going to pop along for a bit on Saturday

without the kids this time.

I've lost track of the plan for the day ... but Belvoir castle is DEFINITELY shut ....

We haven't really sorted any route out after meeting up at Donington Park, but we could head towards the villages from UK1- I remember we were heading in the direction of Melbourne at one stage, instead of Kegworth, due to the bogus postcode entry in the satnav!

If anyone can remember that village with the pub that wouldn't serve food, because it was too late, we could always pay them a little 'inspectorial' visit!

Viv, I'll PM Nathan as he's offered a great driving route for us to try.

Matt, the admin Mark tells me that the '.COM' part of the logo is just in a standard arial font.
