I've been using this site for quite a while now and it is my usual port of call on a daily basis. With this in mind I thought I'd suggest a few ideas to make this place as up to date and as easy to use as possible......

Idea 1
Selling of Items on this site..
Would anyone who has sold or removed an item which they had advertised here put a "sold" (or other detail) post up to inform prospective buyers of the status. By doing this admin could housekeep this area and Archive/delete any out of date threads...Also the tidying up of sales threads that have a last reply of over 1 (or 2) months old. By doing this we could create an area where people would use this forum as there primary advertising location (after all here is free, Ebay costs). This would create a much more dynamic and upto date area for both buyers and sellers.....

Idea 2
Events and meetings..
Would Admin/mods consider the creation of a sticky and locked thread containing only one post that only moderators can update with information regarding VF meetings and events that have gained momentum and the support of other VF members. All the information required would be a list of planned events as they arrise with just a single line stating - where, When...etc....

e.g.

When---------------Type--------------Where------------Location---Who's coming----
2pm 1st May 2005 - Meet and greet - Stretton Fox Pub - J10 M56 - 20plus attendees
9am 7th May 2005 - Rolling road session - Chip Tuning Ltd (VolvoTuning) - Bromsgrove - 12plus attendees
12pm 11th June 2005.- Kick the tyre BBQ II - Dave 850R's Barbecue - Birmingham - 15plus attendees
.........etc..........


This would possibly save repeat postings of dates, times and locations.... All the threads then can deal with who's coming and the usual forum banter...

:B_program
Anyway it's 3am and I should have gone to bed hours ago. I was just making a suggestion before I get strung up by my nether regions :insane: for making the moderators jobs even harder......night night.....

I think it might be better to have a for sale and a wanted page.For parts and for cars,Then people can look for what they want and not trawl through unessecary ads.

I think there should be a 'readers wives' section so we can post pictures of our, well, wives, girlfriends or mistresses in 'volvo' related poses? i.e with a box of tissues over their snatch or tartan blanket over their head??

hi guys, i reckon that the poor tossers who keep invadin this site, are jealous of a superior car and site...... i think their ASBO curfew must of started at 7pm and they have been kicked off the nova forum due to overpopulation!

sorry i aint been on in a while, moved house, so only just got back online...and also got my baby fixed, i was gutted it broke down the day after my custom cat back was fitted( the day before the stretton meet) i had another split hose, water hose into the oil cooler.
Still, she's fixed. it was a pleasure to meet u all at stretton, names to faces etc, and it was a great day( even without my car)! thanx!!

it was good to meet you too hun! im surprised i did, i thought me and spesh were gonna get locked away forever when the police pulled us over!! the funniest part was when they let us drive off, we calmly drove away, got to the roundabout and floored it, at the last second we spotted the police car lights just above the hedgeline and spesh hit the brakes!! it was the same car that pulled us, we were goin well over 60mph....imagine the consequences!!
lol!!
