Hi guys
Bit of an idea, i would have posted this thread in the bright ideas thread but i wanted this to be in the MK4 section!
Why dont we have a car of the month, It would really motivate people to post more , and to really get involved on the forum! Alls we seem to hear on the forum at the moment is bloody winter parts going pop! Or poor fuel consumption!
I think if we did this it would also make a cool debate, to here peoples thoughts on why they voted for that car, and why they didnt! also might attract some other people on other forums to come on here so they can possibly win it! I know when the calendar was made alot of people joined just for that!
I think this could be really cool, its probably been mentioned before, but i think a golf MK4 car of the month scheme would work well! It's not about how much money someone spends a month, but maybe, who has thought of a cool unique idea? Or someone who has taken a mint photo! Or even someone whose car has really come on in that month!
Anyway thought i would do a poll on it here , so topher and Rhyso could see the result! I will run the poll for 7 days!
The way administrators have a nice little 'medal' icon below there name, the winner of car of the month could have a little trophy icon under theres until the month is over!

Is a good idea mate, but you just have to be careful with people saying why they dont like certain cars and people can take critisim badly.
But think the general idea you have is good.

How about mod of the month? :smiley:

You mean the Wazzzer award? :grin:

lol!
I think car of the month is just better! Modifying is always going to be personal opoinion! But thats the best thing! It makes good topic talk! not just parts that have broke! or ' has anyone got this part number' :laugh:
-
We could have a Rhyso Award for the mis-diagnosis of the month. :laugh:
-
Great idea!! :grin: :grin:
Im up for the car of the month competition.
Everyone gets postive and negative criticism anyway when they post the pics of their cars so it shouldnt really matter!!
:wink: :wink:
-
How many cars have we got and how many months?
-
I don't think this will work.
Mk4 Picture of the month not just of the car.

How about 'fit bird lording it over your car' of the month? Surely when we run out of cars, there will still be some birds who don't mind posing for a Maccy D's.
-
I prefer "FAIL of the month!"

Am I being thick here...? :undecided:

.... and the reason why?
-
because mk4s are rubbish! we should have monthly mk4 fail awards :grin:

If a car is nice whats stopping it from winning each month? We would have the same car each month,
-
no you defo would not!
Its just about the car as whole, your missing the point mate, its about someone who has done something unique, or has moved on alot with the car in the last month, or maybe even overcome a problem! its the whole package! And if someone did win it a couple of times in a row, not a big deal is it!

Feck!! I would have been up for this one m8, I have just got gid of my Mk4 Gti which was 100% unique and moved with the times.. shame
I think I still have the boot lid, NSR door, loom fuel pump knocking around...Topher! Have you any pics of my Golf MK4 on your phone? ie the one with the fork lift truck prongs popping out of the sun roof while hanging in midair? :grin:
I think its a good idea, like you say it need to be summat new or unique each month.

defo mate!
I think it would really make people more active on the forum!

Would be a pain creating all the threads and polls etc, but if someone volunteers then I'm sure we could get something sorted.
Maybe something like:
First month : Most innovative mod? Then the winner picks the next months theme? So they could choose ' FAIL of the month' etc

PMSL :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

sounds mint idea that mate!
So each month would be a different topic! Being a full time web developer this would not be hard to do at all
The site is made in PHP so would easily be able to incorporate this!

Or just do a thread where everyone submits their entries, then a poll gets released and then the winner gets the month long glory.
-
yeah maybe a bit like the way the calendar worked! People submit there 'what ever the month topic is' , then after the maybe a day or 2 people can vote on them for a week!
-
Yeah. That way it always changes and given different people a change to win, not just those with £££ :grin:
-
Exactly! That means i mite win lol
-
lets face it everyone here is a tart so would love the idea of their car bein car of the month lol :grin: :cool:
-
I think this is a good idea dude. So when is it starting?
-
i agree with it been decided on a montly vote based on innovative mod best pic or watever has been done, like jake said the car that has moved on the most in the month is a good idea aswell. a poll is a great idea as it gives people chance to vote for what they think is the best and which car deserves 'car of the month' therefore the winner is fair as they will be the one with the most votes!
basing it on a monthly theme may not be such a good idea as some people may not be doing that certain thing with their car and may never choose to be....
-
SOOOOOO then..................
After a massive majority vote, are we going to put this into action?
-
I'll try sort something tonight ;)
-
Yeah great idea :wink:
