Completely fine Chris - plaster the title bar with logos - it'll look like a rally car - ace. I couldn't live without this place - thanks a million.

Speaking of sponsorship, Chris, I got a great proposition for ya: You buy me some shocks and some OZ's and I'll stick a 3"x3" Locostbuilders.co.uk logo on me car. No - I'll do better than that - I'll stick one on each side!

...

Eh? What do you mean "f**k off to hell and die"? It was just an idea.

Liam

I don't see any problem especially if it helps the stability of the site, I personally hate those pop up things which keep jumping in the way of what you are reading, the more you close them, the more they appear.

I assume the sponsors will have a locost theme, not the usual "Unmissable low interest loans"

Yes, it will be a Locost company and no, no pop-ups, banners, or any of that annoying sh*t!

Does that mean you have been approached already?

Just ask every member for £2 (running for cover) that'll sort your car out wont it ?

Maybe I have, maybe I havn't You'll just have to wait and see. Whoever it is I will make sure it's something relevant!

Who do you all think would be the best sponsor?

It's not for us to decide who it should be.

Put out the word to companies and see who offers you the best deal for sponsoring the site.

Bit of a monopoly for the one certain company I know has spoken to you otherwise...

Of course that could be a good thing if they offer discounts for referals from the forum... {hint }

Any of the people who make parts for the cars would make good sponsors,even if its a company not associated with your build.
Which Kit magazine is or was co owned by pilgrim cars,people who had no interest or didnt own pilgrim kits still bought the mag so it doesnt make a lot of difference.

More than happy for you to put LB down the side of your car if you'd like. Can't afford to pay you anything tho cos I just spashed out my car budget on a new server for you lot!

Perhaps we should have a GT1 forum?

That would be an interesting hookup, you bag a free/cheaper MK Indy, and a banner down the side of the winning car and they get a load of time on the phone explaining stuff taken off their hands, pretty much exclusively positive reviews from the most trustworthy source, the owners, and a few banners or whatever from here if only to make it even easier to find the site.

Chris,

As a fellow web developer, I have to say, a lot of respect if you've been putting this site together in your spare time!

Excellent design, nice and fast, lots of v neat features.

I say go for it, you deserve something back from the efforts you've put into this site.

Cheers.
