Thanks for your opinion, its been noted!

Its also about raising money to keep this site going, and as well as getting some money from the sale of these shirts as they are, it would be beneficial to the forum if someone like Rares would sponsor the forum then we could do one of two things.

1) Reduce the cost of ths shirts making them more accesible for everyone
2) Put some more money in the forum account for doing other things like more shirts, stickers etc.

There are positives and negatives to every side!

I dont want to go back to yet another bloody poll, but we'll certainly be looking in to our options!
Cheers.

I should probably just crawl back in my hole here......but where'd this 'Too FLy' bizo come from?

There's no 'real' relavance or history of it to the general punter on the street....why have it there other than to confuse or create something...

'To Fly' came about because we needed something to enhance the shirt a bit, we wanted to have the holden logo on the sleev but couldnt, so we thought of a slogan or something that we could use to define the website, or toranas. So we all thought that we use 'To Fly' It has spiritual meaning with the torana and is only something us torana owners know. I think i am going to have lots of people ask wat it is and wat it means, which will be great! cos there is nothing i like talking bout more! Toranas!

Im very Proud of how this shirt looks, and i will be happy to see people wearing it as i can say, i designed that shirt! (with input from everyone of course!

Regarding the Rares Logo, im not really fussed either way! it will get us discounts at Rares too!

My thoughts are that if you enter into a sponsorship agreement it should be for a specified period. Set a review date at the commencement of the first production of the shirts. At the end of the specified time the agreement can be reviewed as well as any design changes. In time people may have new ideas or be simply tired of certain logos. Or perhaps have become sick of explaining what �to fly means�? The review would also create a greater demand as people may want to purchase the latest version?

I understand what ya mean Daggy, But 253 is right. Cause we coudlnt ( well didnt want to... too many headaches) use the Lion Logo, i suggested that we create our own logo.. That To Fly was just something i whipped up in 30 seconds as an example of something we could create and keep as our logo.

It was used on the shirt cause of a lack of other designs as everyone seened to agree that the shirt needed something else to break it up a little.

I think most of us here know that the word "Torana" means To Fly and thats why i chose it, its not trademarked or anything that i know of. it was just a quick idea but yeah.. whatever!

I'm more than happy to have rares badge on the shirt, They are helping us out to keep our cars going and looking good with their products, and theyre also keen to help the site and forum out itself.

I too am proud of how this shirt looks, and i think its a job well done to everyone who took on the job of helping to design it!

Cheers.

Just send me my shirts !!!

And if Les wants to send me some patches to stitch onto my sleeves I'll get the seamstress to tack them on when she's fixing the blowout in my work pants

I know that sponsorship means more money to the forum and other benifits, but I would like to see the shirts stay soley torana forum based.

I for one would be more than happy to give a donation or subscribe or what ever you want to call it to help support this great site.

I see rares name on them as a bit of a sell out ( All due respect and no offense intended Les, I know rares do heaps for the industry and all the rest). But I would just like to see them stay as OUR shirts.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[GML-31]

I am sure if Les was to indicate wearing a shirt into rare with his logo allowed a discount automatically no-one is going to winge then.

Shirt ordered via Email. ( [email protected] )
Thanks knoth !!

P.S. How are we going to pay for these? Send Money Order or maybe a direct deposit via bank account? Also any idea on the time frame of actually receiving these shirts from now?

[boomfunk]

I was also thinking that, if Les wants to sell the shirts at Rares outlets cool, great promo for the forum, they can have their logo on it,

but the ones that are brought on the forum should stay sponser free ...


Les can buy them from us to sell in the stores just as we all buy rares products, that way everybody wins, we make money buy selling rares the shirts with the sponsor logos and the forum people can buy them without the logos


it may just mean getting shirts made with and without the rares logo

[racean69]

Boomfunk, I agree with your comments ^ they sound resonable.

[dattoman]

gmh-torana.com now has a bank account
For forum shirt sales when they are available and donations etc we will be doing deposits to this account
Then your shirts will be sent out
When they are ready you will be advise so we can dish out the account details and get your delivery addresses

[dattoman]

Knoath I hope you know what you've done here.......lol
There are at least 70 shirt just going by this thread alone without knowing what your email orders are like.
I hope they are nice and healthy
lets hope everyone orders plenty and enjoys them. I know I will

[tinkers]

Time will tell when it comes to having to cough up the cash as to how good the sale will be.

[marius]

G'day. 2 x XL for me please. E-mail has just been sent. Those shirts are beautiful, beautiful things.

[enderwigginau]

So, somebody should make a list of those ordering and the sizes.

[dattoman]

I think Kenoath has that wel in hand
Or at least I'd hope so
