My wife had this made with my favourite Volvo advert. I think I may have a few more made.

Cool :)
Nice
Mint
I'll have one if you get them made to order. That's awesome! :D Always wanted a shovel front 740T
I'll get one made for you if you like, but for what it costs me and post. I'll give you details of the peeps, they are local to me so don't mind paying picking up and forum courier or posting. I think £5-6 ish not much money. I'm having a few more done
Sounds good to me :) Are you getting more of the same, or other designs too? Might have to make up a set!! ;)
I'll have one to replace my Nova mug in work please.
Not jealous of the mug -- but what a great wife!! :eek: Any more like her?
[QUOTE=Biff;749029]I'll have one to replace my Nova mug in work please.[/QUOTE] That's bad Biff, really bad!! At least I've got a Capri mug! ;)
id love one for some of the original 850 adverts like the drag 850 style one. or this ad! [video=youtube;e9hWhje8n54]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9hWhje8n54[/video]
I'll get nicci to dig out details and you can ask if you want same as mine as he's done that before. Or send him your own pic, but I like the Classic Volvo adverts. It was on Facebook I believe, a guy in havant with a frog as his logo, if that helps. He may well just post them out, but at least he has my design if others want one.
My next mug?
He deals in cash and won't post, I'll post but at your expense and understanding if damaged etc, but I'll wrap well. £45 for 10 mugs or £5 each, group buy? Maybe post to one address up north if enough interest? To distribute. His name on Facebook is "fat frog printing"
what about this one too
Wrong shape, landscape be better
I've got that in a poster lol and a few others
Very nice... I've had this since 2007 [ATTACH=CONFIG]27511[/ATTACH]
"Turbo Wagon" ad reshaped to roughly same dimensions as on mug, if anyone wants it. (I could change "Turbo Wagon" to "850 T5", etc.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]27512[/ATTACH]

I'd have one of each of those, the original Ferrari and reshaped Lambo one. I don't mind being the northern collection centre if needs be :)
I'm having the 850r one and a Lamborghini. So that's 4, if we get to 10 then it's £4.50 each
A couple more I've found Can pics be as big as possible and reshaped. Can hound find them and reshape? Esp porsche one
I'll have a shark one too, that's 5 Seem to remember an ad about "Playing it safe," maybe with an 850R?? That would be 6 as far as I'm concerned ;)
Etienne - does the mug guy have specific size requirements or is the first art you posted the correct kind of dimensions (about 5:2)? I'll do them and send via PM cos it could cause trouble for admin with me posting "pics that aren't mine".
Many thanks for the help hound The wife asked the chap and he found the advert and used one from google I'll send you his email and can send directly to him (if that's ok) as if there is a problem I wouldn't know what to do.
Here's another, maybe ditch the middle writing and just have the herring bit and the bottom line.
I just measured a mug and found that about 225mm x 90mm is right, so the original dimensions you had are pretty close.
Sent email addy to you now
Something with an 850 would be cool. Something 480 flavoured also, but I think I may be asking too much there! Lol
Let me know what you want of hound and go from there. Have a look on google images as doesn't have to be today, take your time.
OK, for anyone that wants to follow in Ettienne's footsteps, here are the six designs so far. Lettering can be changed but if you're gonna do a group order on a design, choose what suits everyone. These are small versions of the actual pics.

Mr Sideways - no prob with a 480, supply your own slogan though. Forgot this one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27528[/ATTACH]
You git! I like them all! Looks like I'll have a cupboard full. Let others have a look as they are really good what you've done and many thanks!!
I will have all please.
Just sent all seven to you at full size. Keep the pics coming guys, if you want to do your own thing.
They are awesome, even better full size, you certainly have a talent for it.
Sent pics to mug chap and await his response. I'll be having another 5 or 6
LOL, your missus has certainly started something! Message me if Mug Guy needs anything resized, different format etc.
Well, at the moment I'm looking at no.s 1, 2, 4 and 5 of your pics. Ill have a dig for something 480 shaped and come up with a slogan equally as rediculous as the car itself! ;)
Couple of layout possibilities for the 480ES... [ATTACH=CONFIG]27529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]27530[/ATTACH]
Couple of layout options for the 480ES... [ATTACH=CONFIG]27532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]27533[/ATTACH]
Yes very good.
I'll have both please :) The second is hilarious!! There we go, well over the quota now! :D
Yeah I'm looking forward to these. I'm waiting to hear back from chap, but I'll get nicci on to it when she gets in. If you could email them across hound that would be awesome
Actually, sorry to be a pain in the arse... Could i have the red 480 with "Volvo 480 Turbo, insert smart arse comment here" And the black one with the other slogan?
LOL, the "insert smart arse comment" was just a fill-in while you think of something to actually put on it. :) I can do the red one with that. I'll try the black one with the other slogan but "ReVolvolutionary" will have to get broken up. PM with your Sideways e-mail so I can send them to you! Edit: I cheated. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27536[/ATTACH]
Sideways email address PM'd ;)
Received my 480 art work. Let me know where and when to send them please, Ettienne :)
Ettienne's mug came from Fat Frog Printing - https://www.facebook.com/fatfrogprinting There's a web addy on there but it's not working. I guess you just leave Mr Frog a message.
Had confirmation pics are good, don't hold me responsible if they come out bad, but my Ferrari one is very good. Thanks for all the good work hound!!!!! Shall we try and get an idea of what we want? Shark. 1 Lamborghini. 1 Dragster 740. 1 Dragster 850. 1 Radar 740. 1 Ferrari 740. 0 (have one already) Herring t5r. 1 This is my order.
Amended with Neil's order Shark. 1 Lamborghini. 2 Dragster 740. 1 Dragster 850. 1 Radar 740. 2 Ferrari 740. 1 Herring t5r. 1 This is my order.
[QUOTE=Hound;749454]Ettienne's mug looks like a Fat Frog.....[/QUOTE] Changed that for you sir ! :biggrin:
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;749498]Changed that for you sir ! :biggrin:[/QUOTE] Fair's fair, you get enough stick over your shiny head lol.
Does that tally have mine on Steve? If not, I'll have one Ferrari, one Lambo, one shark and one Herring. Plus my two 480 ones. Now there's a sentence you'd never go into a shop and say! I've emailed Jamesy12345, he likes a bit of 480 action, but not heard anything back yet.

Which you having james?
[QUOTE=Ettienne;749516]Which you having james?[/QUOTE] CAn I have the read one pls, Steve
James, note the red one now looks like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]27544[/ATTACH] But I can send Steve the other version. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27545[/ATTACH]
480?
Hmm sorry gents my weekend started already so reading this through goggles of beer Can I have the red 480 one with 'Revolvolutionary' comment pls
Without sounding silly, I'd rather not confuse the chap too much with 2 different red 480 pics. So shall I say 2 x red evolutionary and 1 x black?
Shark. 2 Lamborghini. 2 Dragster 740. 1 Dragster 850. 1 Radar 740. 2 Ferrari 740. 2 Herring t5r. 2 2 x 480 red evolutionary? 1 x 480 black
OK for me....the 'smart arse' comment is funny but would wear thin plus I would need to explain it to the bairn.....we say 'smart owl' in my house
Shark. 2 Lamborghini. 3 Dragster 740. 1 Dragster 850. 1 Radar 740. 2 Ferrari 740. 2 Herring t5r. 3 2 x 480 red evolutionary? Updated 1 x 480 black
I've emailed James for clarity, Steve. Will confirm as soon as I hear from him. Sorry to confuse things.
I've heard from James and all is good. If yourself and James can just paypal for the cost of mugs then I'll pop order in. Steve Evans is coming to brooklands and live way up north I was going to ask if he could take them up with him. Saves on post and any chance of damage, each comes boxed (well mine did)
Yeah, but James wanted the design posted on here, red car - revolvolutionary, whereas I was wanting to keep the ones Hound sent me with smart arse on the red car, revolvolutionary on the black... If that makes sense! I've mailed him so we can confirm on one lot of choices. When I hear back from him, I'll let you know "our" decision and send you the money for all of them :) I bet you wish you kept all this to yourself now! Yeah, would be good for Steve Evans to bring them oop north. Sure we can arrange to meet somewhere, or he could bob in for a brew in a tasteful mug if he's passing Manchester! ;)
Cool I've emailed him the other pics and quantities. If you let him know info just regarding the 480s then we should be cool. I don't mind doing it, it's what forums are meant to be about rather than all the rubbish that usually crops up.
Sideways/James; We thought maybe two variations of the Red 480ES were gonna confuse Mr Fat Frog. Anyway both artwork versions are available, I'll just shurrup and let you guys sort it out - I'm just the fool with the digital paintbox! :insane:
Thanks guys. Like I said, I'll see what James says when he emerges from his drunken stupor! :D He just had to throw a Geordie shaped spanner in the works! Lol Thanks for all you've both done so far :)
How doo...good morning folks Sorry for causing confusion, I think we are sorted now Thanks gents
James, could you PM me on here mate? My email is down and cant see if/what you sent me. No doubt it'll be back up in a couple of hours.

Sideways your total comes to 7 x £4.50 (£31.50) That does include James's mug.
[QUOTE=Ettienne;749641]Sideways your total comes to 7 x £4.50 (£31.50) That does include James's mug.[/QUOTE] Steve Sideways I will buy you 1.5 beers next time at your place
[QUOTE=Ettienne;749153]That's a bit more like it! I'd have a copy please[/QUOTE] I'll take one of those if you are getting some done.
No worries Steve. I'll send you some beer tokens tonight. Cheers :)
They are ready to pick up!! The first lot I sent across (not 480s), although the price does include 480s, just need to send artwork to him, he is only 5 miles away so not a problem to pick up twice
No worries Steve. I'll sort it tonight. It was midnight by the time I got home last night, then I passed out :( Started work at half 7 in the morning... I've gotta slow down or I'm gonna have a stroke!!

Picked them up (not 480 mugs) and they are extremely good! Especially like the herring one, actually I like them all.
Pics sent over to the printing bloke, Steve :) Edit: Just tried sending you the money, but Paypal is having a moment and won't work off the phone. Will try again tomorrow, or failing that do it at me Ma's on the PC.
Ok no probs
Are they getting their own display shelf? :D
Maybe a window sill
Mine will be a permanent feature next to the kettle in the workshop/mancave! :D
Payment sent, Steve
Cheers buddy I'll try and pick them up today, but I'm one Lamborghini short, so may get Jim to make that first, but he is pretty quick
I found this, but I'm not allowed to put it on a mug, never seen thus before but made me giggle.
"Pre owed"? I wish somebody owed me one of those...
Yeah me too lol
Looks like I'll be taking the mugs north,as Graham's not going to Brooklands, don't forget to give them to me.
