Car of the Month

[RAP72]

I think it would be good for each area rep to try to do a local car each 12-18 months.

It just takes a bit of effort from a few to get this up and running.

Maybe you'd like to be the first John to do this

funny enough, Colin, I was wondering if you were going to step up and 'volunteer' as you seem to be the driving force for this request

update - thanks for all inputs, we had a meeting last night and Shaun will summarise shortly on this post.

Following on from previous posts, may i take the opportunity to post this?

Thank you for your contributions to this post. Members of the committee met yesterday and we overwhelmingly decided on the following:

a) Continuation of Car of Month articles on our Forum.
b) Where possible to cover overlaps, synergies with articles in our club magazine.
c) To include a submission tab on the Website or Forum for members to submit articles for reviews and for subsequent posting on the Website (for now) by either Zac or Karan. We will continue reaching out to members for submissions.
d) To revisit previous “ Car of the Month” articles and consider re-publishing / updating them. Especially if any works or modifications have since been completed.
e) Endeavour to post one article per month. However, should we develop a good pipeline then we would consider posting more than one article per month.
f) Acceptable to have a mixed level of written and photographic submissions.

Lets us see the response

Hello Shaun,

I'd gladly volunteer my Jensen-Healey as 'Car of the Month' but as it's still in numerous bits it probably doesn't merit the status.

So far Rob, you are the only respondent.

Odd isn't it that a lot of noise is made, a proposal etc put forward and the you are deafened by the silence.

Anyway, I do think photos of neatly stacked and labelled parts would be acceptable.

Hi all
I would be more than happy to write up my newly acquired Jensen 541 OEA 300 for a forthcoming COTM.

Colin , As I have already done at least FOUR I thought I would give someone else a chance to step up!

Happy to to do another SW car if there’s no takers

Update: : We have a COTD submission for the next 3 months. One will posted next week and we working on a tab button on the forum such that members can submit COTD for Zac and/or I to review and post. The tab button should also be available next week.

Regards,
Karan

PS: Rob & Phil, thank you for volunteering submissions. Perhaps, you can use the tab function next week (once we have loaded it onto the forum) for your submissions.

Many thanks,

I can cobble together a storyboard of a very long restoration (1992-2018) starting with a rusty heap ...

I have posted a car of the month article. Thanks Chris Liversage for the article. Currently working on an IT niggle to have the submission tab on the forum page for submissions. This way with communication we should build up a pipeline of articles that will then be reviewed and uploaded d by Zac Marshall or I.

Kind regards
Karan
