Club Arnage

In a few weeks time we'll be going to Le Mans in a 15 tonne lorry.
I'd like to get the truck completely wrapped in lettering, Racing for Holland-style. On the loading sides will be the lates version of the RfH-Dome (the orange version), courtesy of Jan Lammers himself.
The cab I want to letter in the way the original trucks are lettered too, so they will come with those black & white blocks.
Those blocks have to be filled with, but with what?
Well, how about the text of your website? So I'm thinking of >>
www.selfpreservationsociety.net
www.beermountain.com
www.teamjpc.co.uk
www.planetlemans.com
and our own website ofcourse!

Would the owners of the above agree?
Would you like your website on it too? Just put the name of your website in a reply and I'll make sure it will get on the truck. Maybe nice for a picture or two on site at Maison Blanche :)

Here's the cabin (it's actually one size larger, but I haven't got that one) >>

Paddy - The team at Beermountain would be honoured. PM me if you need artwork to any format - our agency can provide. Maybe we owe you a special visit of the Beermountain Chopper Display Team? - sadly no room for DFH logos on our flying suits at this late stage, as there are too many medals already...but one to consider in future! Best Regards. T.

Great idea - I hope you can pick up some Club Arnage artwork from somewhere...?

• Mr T. it would be a pleasure. As for those logo's (we have badges too), we might have some left as we set off for France. In that case I'll bring them. Hopefully you can forward it to the address already known with you.

• Smokie, I guess RobboSPS could help me out with that, all I have at the moment is the flag being streamlined. Not very nice in detail, basicly.

We should have about 100 - 120 spaces on there, few requests already, via PM aswell. Plenty spaces left though. Pass them on! ;D

You definately have our permission Paddy. But then I guess you knew that anyway!!  :)

Mark,

 Your web page is broken.  Or at least there is no front page.

t

Undergoing a huge revamp. Hopefully up by this weekend, even if only a basic page or two!

Hi Paddy,

would be an honour for us to have our URL on your truck, its www.lemanszone.de - a german fanpage with some 400 pics from the last 20 years . I've attached our logo

Cheers and I guess we'll meet at the poo bar saturday night

Werner

I think popemobile.co.uk deserves a mention.

Regretably, neither Kanterbrau or its owners club have a website.  We'll soak off some labels for you

Paddy. Team Zarse has no logo either, so you could just use Times New Roman?

Other than that, it would be nice to see a Commer logo on there, I'll see what I can sort out.

first try out :)

Paddy, top idea. Maybe i need to get a few more crates of good old english beer for you guys.

The font we use is....... Tahoma in Bold if that helps.

I cant remember the font for Club Arnage stuff......

Doesnt help much, but both on the van would look cool. If whilst you are cutting your vinyl you can make up a drinking for holland logo, we can put it on the trailer. about 1 metre long would be the biggest i think we can get on now.

Brilliant!

Paddy.
We havn,t got  logo at present, just a name.
A mention for "PANTYSPIDER TOURS"  would be great if possible.

Cheers
         Bob.

Excellent, Paddy!

A mention for Team Cannonball would be great, unfortunately our website ain't up and running yet.  Any font would do, i think the missus used Arial or Times New Roman on the T-shirts.

PS  I meant to mention that as a first go it looks immense. I will definately be paying a visit over to maison blanche from beausjour to have a butchers at your  truck. This is what Le Mans is all about.

That looks that dof danglers!!  ;D

Could we have "The Pie Eaters" on there?

Let me know the dimensions of the rectangles and I'll send you the graphics in raw Illustrator CS

Cheers

Gazza

According to the site of Jan Lammers, the dimensions are 14 x 42 centimetres. That works out a very nice size on the cabin. Please remember I like to keep it as original as possible, so black 'n white only.

You can mail your logos to patrick@comef.nl Please convert all text to outlines, I only have 5,500 types :(
I guess the best I can do is set a deadline, that will be the 29th of May then. After that I have to figure out who to put where, print it and go from there. I think it will be great! ;D

Does it need to be Racing related?

If not then www.BunkyChollox.com (http://www.bunkychollox.com) would be good to have on there... artwork can be found on the site!

Top Idea!!  ;D

Wow, pretty large, Doctor!! :o

Have got that now, you can remove it again if you feel like it :)

I think we need a " Sebring - Turn 10" logo and a "Sebringfans.com" on there too. Also How about a "TEAM IMPALA" ahead of Amazing Randy's visit next year.

No probs Chris, just point out some letter types, show me a picture, quote some links or send me the files at hand :)

That's a top job, Paddy !!! I'm looking forward to seeing the truck in its full glory.   :D

Paddy this is superb.

Could you do the rest of us 2 blocks, one that simply says "we didn't go to SEBRING" and the next one in contrast But we ARE HERE! team AA

If too hard we won't mind, still a brilliant idea.

 ;D


bill

How about a couple from the states.We would be quite honored.
www.racingfanatics.com
www.sebringfans.com
and while we are at it how about a shameless plug for myself
Amazing Randy Turn 10 Sebring


Did I mention I met A Zarse Esq. at Sebring !

Definately Team Impala. Agter the stunt they pulled at the drivers signature signing in Sebring they will be motorsport legends!

Can I refrase a few items?

* First of all the size of the blocks; the cab is 130 cms wide, so with four blocks it works out 32,5cms by about 10 cms. With three blocks (3x42=126cms) it would be too bulky.
* Secondly it doesn't actually have to be a website or firmname or logo, as long as it ain't anything harmfull to anyone else (so that means I ain't gonna play tic-tac-toe with an Audi-logo on the cab, I might do that somewhere else though ;))
* Third I'd like to say the deadline can actually be the 5th of June, as long as I can keep up we'll be okay. It will be printed, so there's no vinyl-cutting involved. That will save time, I will only have the truck Friday afternoon the 10th of June anyway.


Can I just say the pleasure is all mine.
I'm nicely surprised by the reactions, didn't think you guys would appreciate it like this! To me it's also very nice to see what impact Jan Lammers and his Team has on foreign people, the advertising concept is very well known after all!

Can't wait 'till the beginning (12th of June for me), LET THE SHOW BEGIN!! ;D

Paddy, "PANTYSPIDER TOURS" now has a logo we would like to reserve a white block on your truck for it.
Can't wait to see the finished job.

Cheers Bob ;D

Sorry Paddy I didn't expect the thing to come out that big

Don't worry, I've downed it and mangeled it through Steamliner.
The logo is ready to use now ;D

By the way, if there are logos I make up (like the Kent-Kanterbrau logo for example) and you'd like that logo for yourself, I can always send it to you in any file type you want.

Will send you an improved version of the avitar.

I think I'll only get as far as an A4 laminate for the KKOC, but will include a "Drinking with Holland" flag/logo.

Perhaps "Outdrinking Holland" or "Out Drinking with Holland" would be more appropriate for most of us

Paddy, it's totally fantastic mate!

I've been drinking with this lot. And they dont half throw it down. Slightly hard core with the ale. Only slightly though.

I believe Paddy has earned himself some extra CA bottles of champagne at the Poo bar on saturday night.

BTW, does anybody know what champagne they serve this year ?

Paddy

If its not racing related then I'd appreciate a plug for this one

silvercat.co.uk

Thanks

Stu

I'm working on it guys, all is listed and we work from there.
Here's the first real inpression, the places are not definite though!

(http://server3.uploadit.org/files/maison-dfhtruck1.jpg)

small update on the design, this is the complete idea but with the Dome in new (orange) livery (photos to be made next Tuesday at Zandvoort)

(http://server2.uploadit.org/files/maison-DfHtruck2.jpg)

I hope the cars number will be the right way around as wll Paddy  ;) 8)

Looking good mate! Is the Dome going on both sides of the van??

I'm hoping to get some publicity shots of the van with our logo on it with the Dome in view as well.

we can put it besides your Gazebo for a photo ;)

did you get my mail with the picture?

Certainly did. I'm just going into a meeting, then I was going to phone you this afternoon!  :)

As we're running out of time, the only chance we have to put the new-livery Dome on the truck is to take pictures of the Dome taking Tarzan at Zandvoort during next week's official presentation. Ofcourse the whole thing will be photosouped, even our logo will go where the Dutch flag is ;D

Having the Dome on both sides would make life a lot easier I guess :)


The right part of your banner is finished too now, only the middle part to go now 8)

I had a strange feeling this was the case. "Drinking for Holland" is a bit of a giveaway, but far better than "Having the occaisional beer for Holland"

We just own the stuff of course, and sit there all week admiring the same bottle.

Next week, I shall mostly be admiring Gin

Paddy you have mail.

Hope to see you and the rest of the Dutch contingent at the shampoo bar.  I missed it last year due to the effects of a some green sausages and a midnight mini moto crash.

Paddy,
Any room for one more team logo?
Drop me a line at Stephen_wallace@intuit.com if there is and I'll mail you the logo...

Steve TTTD

Have replied, Steve :)

Paddy

Did you get the mail that I sent earlier today? Not sure if the logo will work but worth a try. ::)

That must be the "Lads at LeMans"-logo then :)
Absolutely great, I can always internally export it in grayscale, no probs ;)

Brilliant and many thanks. Look forward to seeing the finished article. ;D ;D ;D

Paddy, a magnificent effort I like it high up there by the B post. Any chance you could use the same font the AA does for the two letters together

That would be Arial Bold italic.

 :)

All the other stuff looks fantastic. I think Jan Lammers should be sponsoring you, sheer magic.

Maybe Jan should borrow some of ours for his empty spaces, nothing looks worse than an apparrent failure to attract sponsors :D :D :D

thanks


bill

OK.  It has nothing to do with CA other than a motor raceing link (http://www.clubarnage.com/) I am happy for you to use tmdg.co.uk as a filler if you need it. :-)

t.

All sites mentioned in this thread will get onto the truck, even though I might want to drop the "www." with some because of text-length. RobboSPS's sitename for example is pretty longish :-\


I will change the type of the AA-space, Perdu!

Thank you Paddy.

What can I say, I know, CHEERS!


 :)

bill

Have sent you another logo Paddy. If you still have space.
Thanks

it must be obvious by now that I'll do my upmost to try and please you all.
I'll see what we can do about the logo recieved Rhino, I hope it will work out b/w :-\

If you do it Paddy i will bring a bottle of Sloe gin as payment. Just don't drink it on top of the scaffold tower :)

oh dear, and I was planning to warn my guys not to bring any hard liquor for the weekend :(

just keep an eye out on planetlemans.com on Saturday afternoon the 11th, I promised them the premiere pics online (as they arranged our visit to Jan Lammers just after Easter)
there will be some detailed pictures on there for sure!

Great idea, we don't have very active website but would like to have something on the truck, would be nice to surprise the rest of the group.

Will pm you to discuss logo, finance etc

No finances involved, just a joke that went serious. I am gonna do it !!

Then just a beer at MB will do I hope, when do you need "artwork" the latest.

paddy drop the www bit , we do on our stickers and flags.

as promised have added some special Gales Ales brews to the kit for you and the other lads.

Paddy, do you have room for this little number?

ta very muchly.

I would like to submit my logo if that's ok THE UNOFFICIAL SPECTATOR. I need to go dig up the logo. What size and format do you want it in? I can format it any way you like. Lay down some specs man!

Paddy... would this fit the bill?

www.bunkychollox.com (http://www.bunkychollox.com)

It's not motor racing I know, but it is sport...  ::)

(http://bunkychollox.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/images/Project2.jpg)

Just to remind you of Paddy's post, the size of the rectangles is 32,5cms by about 10 cms !!!

Here are the requirements for the logos again>>

and here is the final proposal for the truck, it looks a lot better in orange I think >>

(http://server3.uploadit.org/files/maison-DfHtruck2.jpg)

so JPChenet was quite right :)

did you get my mail JPC? :-\

or this... ;)

(http://www.imbibo.net/bb/images/flamin_k.jpg)

Oops  ::) ... how about just:

www.bunkychollox.com

That would be grand!  ;D

Paddy, what a fantastic idea, you are a top man, if there is room could you squeeze in a :-

Bobblehat Racing

Type face is Copperplate Bold Italic

I dont think you should need to by a beer all week on the strength of this.....

See you on MB

PS: what is the Drinking fo Holland logo I will apply it to the Bobblehat Racing team clothing

Bobblehat, the logo we use is to the left here <<< :)
(just look at properties :))

All logos and names have been listed. Please leave message before Sunday to be sure to get your name on the truck. On Sunday I will gather and start printing, by Friday I will collecting the truck but will be Mr Mayhem trying to gather everything before shops close.
So Sunday is closing date.
Has to be, have to work as well (to steal RobboSPS's words) :(

Nielsie, what's that burning Kellog's sign for? ???

its our groups logo...

Hi guys,

Paddy is on his way to Le Mans, and to show you what trcuk to watch out for, just check this (http://www.planetlemans.com) site for a first photo!

See you all there, I'm joining Paddy on wednesdaymorning. I'll be the tall guy with sometimes a somewhat big mouth. ;D

cheers
