Having placed a few posts in this section myself and seeing no end of other cars around that do not seem to be accounted for on here is it safe to say that there are tons of Scorpio drivers out there who do not even know this forum exists?!
I see many posts in this section with no follow ups so I can only presume that it's possible the owners do not frequent this forum or know of it's existance.
Maybe it would be a good idea to come up with a Scorpio Forum calling card that members could print off and if they see another Scorpio car parked up or owner leave the card on the car/with the driver notifying them of this wonderful information resource?
I would not like to think this forum is some secret underground club and am always keen to pass on knowledge and information to anyone else in need.

What a brilliant idea. That should happen! Maybe it could be printed on a sort of business card... produced by someone who can produce business cards, and then sold in decks of twenty to members for about.. a pound or something?
Someone make it happen!
We might have to moderate how many cards are given out though. We don't want all manner of scumbags on here. I suppose that's the good thing about the scorp though, there are very few scumbags....

I have business card software and this is also readily available to other's who might be interested in running the project but we would need to come up with an agreed logo/image, hopefully the same that appears at the top of this forums web pages and the correct sign-up web address.

Sounds a good idea to me, I don't even bother flashing my lights anymore. I have seen loads over the last couple of weeks.

Excellent, saves me or anyone else doing the job, now we just need a copy of the master file so we can print off on standard business card software.

Oui good plan. I'll print a load on thick glossy paper. It looks very good, Waders! Like it.
Are the founders OK with this?

This was done a couple of years ago I know Kevin R uses them to solicate new members! I myself still have a few in my car just in case
They would have course have to be waterproofed incase it rained and the owners came back to what looked like a pile of bird pooh under his/her wiper!!

If someone tells me where to stick it (the master file that is), I will ! All done in M/soft publisher  .
I've printed some on thick photo paper, they look pretty good  .
(I will remove the "Herts" referance from bottom)
ps, maybe the file could be held on the main site for anyone that wants to download it?

On the site would be ideal. Looks like i'll have to upgrade our 1993 version of Publisher.. program old as time. If it was photo paper it'd hold a bit of rain off... or we could go crazy and start laminating.

I did this myself some time ago (and got called a geek and an anorak for my trouble )
What about lamimating the cards?
I made the cards 56x90mm and used self-laminating pouches. Dead easy
