Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="red"]Here they are. The final drafts have been printed up and they are ready for sending.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Kind of like business cards, that's the format they're in, but since we're not selling anything I don't want to call them that:p

Have you ever seen one of our cars or talked to an owner and told them about our little shendig here but didn't have anything to write out our super long name on or were afraid they'd forget it if you told them, or just wanted to put a note on somebody's window or windshield or something so they'd know about us? Well now that problem is solved. These are so you can have something handy in your wallet or glovebox or wherever you choose to keep them, to take with you to shows or hand to people you see driving our cars or just plop under a wiper, stick in a window, or whatever. And hopefully be able add to our little community and hopefully help keep more cars out of the graveyards and give enthusiasts someplace to hang out.

These ship to anyone in US or Canada for $1.75 per set of 12, or $3.50 for 25.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]Please do not leave seller feedback for these.[/color] (unless of course its negative). I am not trying to make any money on these, I just want to be able to provide them to our members. I'm asking enough money to cover postage and what they cost me to print up and not much more.

That looks pretty sweet man. Maybe on a white background though. I don't know how expensive the black would be. Might have to look into this for sure.

I get all my stuff done here.

I don't know, I think I like black better:

The white one seems a little hard to read, I'd try to get rid of that shadow on the link.

Good idea though, just leave one of these under the windshield wiper, maybe write your username on it as well.

Great idea, I like the black better :)

How about you go in bewteen the black and whit and go grey? Or better yet.......gunmetal lol. Not sure how expensive that stuff is, but a more neutral color than black and something a little darker than the white. Great Idea too.

ok gunmetal, and a new thread with official poll:

Looks good in gunmetal. Good idea Steve.

Keep it black and white and simple text/normal font. We do not really have a logo, just a name. Otherwise, its just a waste of ink.

plain and boring - On it:

 
nope .......... I do not like:barf:

We have a bunch of these made up for my other website.  They are a worthwhile investment as we get a lot of new members with them.

As far as colors -- keep it simple.  Maybe a Cougar emblem and a Thunderbird emblem for some eye candy.

Keep the wording short and sweet too:  "You are cordially invited to http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com Hope to see you there!"

Maybe throw in a few capital letters in the web address? (easier for the first-timer to read)

oh duh great idea!

Ok, they're all fixed

Ok, I'm a little weary of the text in the middle. I want it to say something that describes what we are about and makes people want to come on over, but without overdoing it. I don't feel like what I currently have really is right. so, here's what I'm debating over

1: The site to be at for all things Fox Body Thunderbird and Cougar.

2: The place to get all your information on your Fox Body Thunderbird or Cougar.

3: The site for everything you ever needed to know about your Fox Body Thunderbird or Cougar. (current of course)

4: The one place to talk about, sell/buy parts/cars, and find lots of good info on Fox Body Thunderbirds/Cougars. (way too long)

Or if you guys have something better, let me know please. What Paul suggested is good, but it doesn't describe what we're about. Whatever we come up with, I don't want it to be too long, or be too corny, but still be inviting and still describe what we are all about here.

Sorry I'm going so far in depth with these little things but I want these cards to be the ones that every member on here will be able to have with them to give to other potential members. So it needs to be something that (mostly) everyone is happy with and what we thing will get the job done. So I really appreciate feedback here cause when I get these made up finally, I'm gonna be giving em to everyone.

Before I read this whole thread, I was thinking gunmetal and a t-bird and cougar logo in the middle.  So that is my vote

As far as the catchline: Fellow enthusiasts keeping the Fox Tbird and Cougars alive and well. -- something to that effect.  Put that across the top, with the website address across the bottom.  Put somewhere the years "1980-1988"  Maybe between the logo's.  See how that looks.

Count me in for some.  Great work and idea!

I'm thinking that for any Fox Thunderbird/Cougar drivers out there that have not found us on their own, there may be a lot of them that are not familiar with the "Fox"-body term. Because that term may confuse a newbie, I was also thinking about throwing the model years in there somehow. Maybe something like this:

+1

Looks good, sounds professional, and describes the site.

+2. It shames me to say I did not know they were a fox platform car until this site.:o

don't feel bad I didn't either:hick:

OK, black one is updated to new style. I did add a very important word to your phrase though;)

I think it sounded better without free... :p

yes I kinda thought so too but when most people think of memberships and whatever online, they think of $. This automatically puts that to rest.

Ok, the back side has been added. please see first post.



Also, when I get these printed, if anyone does want them, $1.75 will get you 12 cards.

This includes postage to all 50 US. I still gotta figure out Canada yet.

I like it Steve. You can put me down for a dozen when you get them.

Im down for some, how are you going to want to recieve payment?

PP or check either one's fine

I like the black one...

K black seems to be by far the most liked, so black it is.

Looks like it will be about 2 more weeks then I think I will get them printed up. After that I just have to wait for them to get done and get here.

sweet i'll take some

Ok, the order has been placed and I should be getting them in about 3 weeks. The price stated still stands, this includes Canada.

As soon as I get them I will post a picture of the actual cards.

Also, I will begin taking orders and payments if anyone wishes to get some quickly.:D

pleas see first post for details.

hey good news guys, they shipped early and now they should be here around the 20th.

Just ordered me some of them there cards. Look forward to handing out whenever I may come across the (very) few fox-bodies I still occasionally see around my area.

Awesome! Hey, I do need a PM with your address so I know where to send it:D

99% of the fox guys in this area already know about this site.. like nate lol

....well they're still not here....

But soon as they show up(I'm thinking tomorrow or Friday) I'll be sure to let you guys know.

All of the Fox guy around here knows.....that would be me. I'm a loner around here.

Oh I feel you brother. Thats why I wanted to get these in the first place. For every one I see every 6 mo's or so and MAKE SURE they know about us.

I own all the fox Cougars in Niagara Falls..........:hick:

don't make me investigate and find out differently! lmao

foxes have a decent following around here.. not a ton of people, but more than i've seen or heard of anywhere else.. i can name 5 guys off the bat.. but would it be cheating if i included nate in such a list? LOL

I only know of 2 other in the area, and I haven't seen the one that was all rusted out since last year

My kids and I went out with a friend of mine to look at Christmas lights and I saw 5 more fox  bird/cats in my town

well no wonder you wanted some!

I think I'm going to put 2 or 3 on every car I see. Just for good measure. You know... in case one falls off lol

or for the simple minded blind fools like me that don't realize something is under the wiper until it starts raining and i turn them on lmao

Ok. Well I've been working late hours lately but the last couple days I've had a chance to finally call up UPS and find out wtf is going on.

They said that apparently the way the shipping method that was chosen works is that when the package arrives at the local hub it is transferred to the USPS and from there it will come to my house. They said that it is currently somewhere in the postal service but they don't know where. That was three days ago. Yesterday I attempted to contact the PS and find out where they are but since the tracking number is different between UPS ans USPS they don't know how to track it. It is also not in the local office.

So to sum up, my package is currently lost in space and nobody knows where or when I will get them.

If they do not show up by tomorrow, which is the original ETA to begin with, I will issue refunds via PP to those who pre-ordered. I do not want you guys to have paid me for a product which is nowhere to be seen. I'll keep you posted.

Dang aint that some chitty luck lol hope it all gets figured out im ready and waiting to place an order.

[SIZE="3"]OK. So I figured out what happened.

It turns out SOME IDIOT [/size][SIZE="1"](that would be me)[/SIZE][size="3"] sent them to the wrong address.:punchballs:

But, I have talked with the company and they have assured me that they will be here NLT the 7th. I'm sorry about all this guys but I have worked everything out and they will be here soon. Thanks for putting up with me.:bowdown:[/SIZE]

Ok guys, they came and they're awesome.

Anyone new to this please see first post for full details.

For those of you who preordered, yours are ready to go and will be sent out first thing tomorrow.:D

For the rest of you, hurry up and get these things!;)

And guys please tell everyone who hasn't seen these about them. I've got A LOT to get rid of. See below!

Whoo hooo !!!!!!

btw, there's a pic of the actual cards on the first page
