Sub forum for members car threads?

Post by sk93 » Tue May 27, 2014 2:29 pm

Had a thought.. no idea if it's any good.

but would a seperate sub forum, where everyone can have one thread they "control" which they can build up as they mod / do stuff with their car?
I'm not talking about replacing the standard stuff like "weekend nightmares", "mot success" or "anyone tried toothpasting their lights?"
But just threads like "Machine Monkey's Zed", "Project Marmite" and "my build thread" and the like?

May make it easier to refind a thread / see what people have done or are doing with their car, plus may get more people to write their own thread up on their car?

Plus - if it ever gets sold via the forum - pretty easy to go find the history/build thread :thumbsup:


Thoughts?

Yes! I'm all for this!

Also saves having a million threads for the same car.

It's a good idea and something that is quite common on other forums.

I think a garage area is a great idea. All the forums project cars or interesting ones? Maybe have say 20 cars voted for Quaternary?

Come on Mods what do you think?

I think everyone who wants to write one should be allowed to imo.

I'm saving up mine for the 3k post suprise ;)

Good idea, have used forums with these sections in the past and they have been brilliant. They have become very popular parts of forums. I would definitely be starting a thread. Go for it mods!
Z4 MC Silver grey, Gruppe M, Supersprint manifolds back, schrick cams, strong strutbrace, lightened pulleys, UUC flywheel, short shift, paddle clutch, OEM CSLs, Ground control coilies, turner tie arms, bush limiters, Stoptech BBK. 370BHP

I think this would be a great idea. Eg im looking for information on Tertius's car but their is no obvious way of finding any apart from looking through his posts which isn't great.
