OOF Showplates
« on: 23 January 2009, 19:53:11 »
First off, this has come from a discussion in the Reg No in pics thread, and I want to personally thank Richardirv for his sterling work in producing some examples.

Between Richard and I, we're happy to produce these for use by OOFers at shows, to avoid the issue of a picture being published that will have your reg number shown to all and sundry.

Obviously, this is is dependant on how many Richard is prepared to print without a contribution to his costs - I am happy to pick up a cheapo laminator and produce a couple of hundred of them, as I clearly have nothing better to do with my time in the evenings.

EDIT: This is also subject to TBs approval regarding using the OOF logo on these plates for public use.

Examples are below:

The white plate:



The yellow plate:



The black plate:



I suggest you vote for either the white or yellow plates if you would only want either one, or the yellow and white pair if you think that you'd prefer front and back plates.

I'd produce enough black plates to use in pairs.


I guess I'm opening a can of worms here - but I reckon it would be relatively easy to get these sorted for the first major meet, be that the Lakes or York, and have some for Newent too.

So, whaddya think? When I can get some printed and laminated, I'll take pictures of my car with them on, so you can get an idea of what they look like in real life.

Great stuff .. a big THANK YOU to you both .. and I'm quite happy to pay to cover costs and postage... there is no way either of you should be "out of pocket" for doing this.

For me, this is a little way to give back to the forum for all the help everybody has given me. (The effort put into the guides, and the advice when I needed it most) -  and given that I could laminate about 200 of these for about 50 quid, it's a price I'm happy to pay.

I don't speak for Richardirv on this, and I for one would be happy to pay his costs in printing them.

Not shunning the concept, or anyones work.

But I really don't care about my plates being seen.

As a side note, I have seen 1 or 2 members make up nice fakeies with their forum name on.

Fair point - hence the option for not wanting them. I really wanted to gauge interest before doing a load of them!  :y

this is a good idea and I applaud the work and effort, but maybe stick to white and yellow, this way they will replace usual plates at meets etc....will look good in piccies  :y :y :y

Some good work put into this, thank you for your efforts. :y
I don't have a problem with my Reg being seen either, after all it is on all my posts. ::) However I do like the idea of the show plates, and agree I think a few migs with them on will make great photo's... :y :y :y

Edit. I like the black plates best, but would be happy with any choice. :y

I'll be speaking to Richardirv over the next week and picking up a laminator and the A3 pouches next week too - as a result we should have some in the next week or two. I'll set up arrangements for shipping them out shortly.  :y
