I wasn't serious about the german theme and I'll admit there isn't alot of mileage in british theme. As for not having seen anyone go all out french were you even at FCS last year? Are you completely blind? You obviously missed the DS3 stand (that won) as they had Vive La France in 3ft high red, white and blue letters at the front of the stand, a load of french flags and were giving out wine and either french bread or cheese at the front of the stand. I didn't look closely but I assume there was probably strings of onions and stripey jumpers too. I dont think we want to be copying somebody else's idea from last year? We NEED to be different if we want to stand out and win! Also surely this is better left till after the christmas meet is done and dusted?
28-10-2014, 04:38 PM
Yes. We dont need to be coming up with this now. I didnt see the dsgay stand and yes im daft.
28-10-2014, 05:01 PM
DS3 stand wasnt that good to be honest.
We werent far away and I didnt even realise it was themed! I just noticed them giving out cakes of some sort! Wishes for more power...

Yes its entirely beatable but we need to stand out as being better and innovative as you can bet they'll up their game again this year. Primarily I think we need to tart by getting a slightly larger stand so there is actually space between the cars, and space for us to do something with stand wise. Also a bit of a thought aside from the theme but thinking about how the guys wound Vaughn up telling him that being on the stand was an actual stand and it was put up there by a fork lift well why don't we put a few of the nicer cars near the back up on a couple of pairs of wheel ramps to add some height to the stand and draw people in. I didn't see anyone doing that last year.

Good idea Chris but whos car is high enough to go up wheel ramps?

I like that idea!!! Cracking idea chris!
I can do that no problem! I thought it was a different ds3 club that was near us, or was that just an extension of them??! My bad. Wishes for more power...

Anyone fancy nicking one of those really high car stands from a forecourt/garage.
Then we could have a underview of a 306!! I still think a rolling shell of a 306 would look ace. Could be painted really cheaply (rollers) in the french flag colours too! Wishes for more power...

Someone needs to volunteer who's got a nice exhaust, no sill rot and not going on track lol

I was too busy trying to keep away from the special needs C2 group opposite us. I really think the actual DS3 clubs stand last year gives us an idea of what we need to beat. ALso have you been on their site, they were planning on doing a mad hatters tea party stand theme at a different show last summer and had some great ideas.

I can see that going horribly wrong with someone with too much enthusiasm trying to get a car onto them. Also you'd need a huge trailer to get them to the show as they are about 6 meters long but if we could get a set that would be incredible. Again a 306 rolling shell (with doors and boot and that) is a seriously heavy bit of kit and won't look right without an engine as it'll sit massively high. But great idea.
28-10-2014, 08:26 PM
Without doors and boot and bonnet then!
Just to show off the core of a 306! Wishes for more power...
28-10-2014, 08:30 PM
The shell on its own is about 200kg completely stripped and when they are they dont really look like 306s, the 3 doors are a bit better but the 5 and the estate just look like random scrap.
28-10-2014, 11:19 PM
Oui oui cheese and wine! Make love to my wife! French theme gets my vote!
29-10-2014, 08:00 AM
Can we have a table display of original sales brochures for old 306s and similar models?

So you moan about the unrealistic and unhelpful approach some have taken to this thread, yet when i try to offer genuine help, you still rattle on about something that will frankly never happen. Who is going to: -Donate a 306 shell -Trailer it there -Do the work to it, to get it in the state you desire -Dispose of it after -Stomach the financial cost of all the above I agree, a table with original brochures on would be nice, but who has any? And if they do, would they be willing to leave them on a table at a car show. Stuff like that is becoming collectable. Why not get our heads back in the room, and take examples of what people have done in previous years, then expand upon them. A beach/Hawaiian would be easy. Just buy a couple of bags of kiln dried sand, throw it around. A few straw skirts, and some flower necklace things from a fancy dress store. People can wear them/decorate their cars. Maybe somebody could play Hawaiian music out of their car rather than Skrillex. Far easier than lugging a shell of a car to a car show IMO.

I wasnt really following the idea of the car shell,, personally i go to shows to see the finished examples, i see enough scrap 306's at work
In all fairness it is FRENCH car show. so a french theme is always going to be on the cards for pretty much every club i attendance, we just have to go that extra mile and be the best

Not sure how health and safety works at car shows....but I'd be pretty sure they won't allow a tonne of metal to sit above peoples heads....

Likewise I didn't mean to be whiny, just trying to be realistic. I really think we need to be looking at maximum impact and originality for minimal outlay both in effort and financially. I still think mad hatters tea party is an absolute winner and it lets us go mental with colours and balloons and stuff, It's cheap, it doesn't matter if a couple of people don't join in, financially its a really small cost. Just for ideas balloons are about 50p each to fill with helium. Those balloons that are in the shapes of numbers and letters spelling out 306oc all over the shop. Could do 2 balloons tied to each wing mirror of each car and get them in colours that co-ordinate with the car. Actually we could probably get 306oc balloons printed really cheap. A couple hundred of them would look really boss. I know this is gonna need funded some how and I'm happy to put in a fair bit of cash but as I assume others are going to help out too why don't we make up a little goodie bag for everyone that helps fund the stand like party bag style to give something back, just a 306oc balloon, special fcs15 306oc sticker, a sachet of lube and some other crappy trinkets to say thanks to people for putting the effort in. Edit: 500 printed 10" balloons on ebay is £85
29-10-2014, 01:18 PM
I do agree actually, would be a bit much financially REscrap 306 shell.
I like the idea of the 306oc 3D helium baloons though Chris, I think thats a genius stroke as it wouldadd some height to the stand! Maybe in the french flag colours! 306oc printed baloons, fancy looking into prices matey?? Some dark/light blue, some black, white, red etc to match car colours would look ace!
