For the next show...

[Juice]

I'd like to put up a small poster board with some facts about the MM, maybe 5-10 things that are interesting things that other people might not know about our cars. For part of the show I hang around the car and answer questions, but it would be nice to leave something there for when I'm out looking at other cars.

If you had to pick a few things like that, what would you put up? What I had in mind was at least engine specs and production numbers. I'd also add that mine specifically is 1 of 156 (I think?).

Whatcha got?

First off a question for you: is your car stock?

[Juice]

oops :o Fixed now.

At car shows that's the first thing people see & read,and not many cars here have a info display like that.The board is on the fuse box with 2 strips of Velcro and printed out in large letters. I get 95% positive comment's on it which is great.

I usually bring my racing trophies, sometimes the timeslip book, list my mods, put up a few action shots, and maybe some general Marauder info. Somewhat specific to my car, I'd lean the same way for yours.

Alright, I made a poster in Photoshop. I'm going to take it to the print shop today and see how it comes out on paper. Actual size is 11x17".

[4play]

Did you manage to cross those tracks lol

[LANDY]

that looks pretty cool, juice

[LeoVampire]

Looks good Juice it should be a nice thing to add when your @ the car shows and or cruise nights you attend! :beer:

[Juice]

Here it is at today's car show! It was definitely a good idea, as it caused more people to stop, look at the car, and read the board. Got lots of compliments on it and even had a few people take pictures of it.

Not too bad considering I was parked between two Vipers. :D

yes people do take a lot more notice of a car that has a show board no doubt about that!
