Right chaps,

A little challenge.

Do you think that if we Tweet/email/harass enough people we could get PH smileys on some of the cars competing this year?

I reckon it would be possible if we all have a concerted effort.

Oliver Gavin is a prolific Tweeter for instance as is Guy Smith and Alex Brundle.

What do you think?

There was a piece on Radio Le Mans earlier - one of the gentleman drivers in a Jetalliance Lotus is trying to raise £100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Research - in exchange for a pledge you can get your initials (£1 upwards) or a picture (£50 upwards) put on their car.

Not sure if a pistonheads smiley is appropriate, but I'm sure some would be interested in donating! More details here: http://en-gb.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=1101375...

Do you think we do nothing? hehe

Conversations are happening and have been for a while. No promises, but we've caught the bug after Mansell last year. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have any news.

Paul, if we have a mass attack, we could get more smileys on more cars.

After all, last year Team Ice Cream only did five minutes! Blink and you would have missed it!

True, but give us a few days as some chats are nearing completion and could go either way. We don't want to complicate anything just now, but once sorted/ denied on the current offers we can have a rethink on the next approach. As well as getting the sticker space it's nice to do a wider deal to add value to both parties.

Mail me with your ideas though, happy to chat it over and see what's possible smile

Paul, I have no ideas as such, just what I posted originally.

Lock this thread/delete it until your own stuff in completed. I don't want to step on anyone's toes!

It's mentioned above but here's the link to Martin Rich's drive to raise £100k for Macmillan Cancer Support - Great cause and it gives you your initilas on a Lotus Evora GTE for a quid! (Though I'm sure most will choose to donate more!)
