Oh - I didnt notice two models on the right.... :o

[maloo97]

There both Great. Its a hard choice.
But i have voted no:1

[DEE-80Y]

I vote #1

[MK]

This site is about Opel drivers and their cars...i vote 2

[alts]

2 is actually very good, and appropriate imo.

Well done to the anonymous creator!

[hazrd]

number 2 :)

[dug74]

I dont own an opel anymore....

But I would Vote #2

As it represents the community of opel drivers...as it shows members and rides.

The other ones are good....just a little too commercial...and dont have the wholesome community feeling.

Happy Motoring
duglet

[tomtom]

def. 2 as it shows members and rides.

[ASTRAY]

number 2 for sure,
1 and 3 only show an astra.
2 shows a big range of opels and as mentioned earlier shows the community side of opelaus.com

+1 well done to anonymous creator.
love the billboard in the background too, showing the names of the models.

still like to say thankyou for the effort, to the creator/s of 1 and 3.

[Shay]

2 is actually very good, and appropriate imo.

Well done to the anonymous creator!

[poita]

:p

[gman]

Quote our number plates....

"Victoria, The Place to Be"

:p

It should be customisable plates:

"Victoria, The Place to Be ....!! (insert most appropriate un-pleasent experience)"

So the question really is, the place to be "what"?? ;)

[Neeko]

looks awesome matt well done!

[hazrd]

Victoria. The place to be.... not an idiot New South Welshman. :p

[Vectracious]

Ahahahaha

"Victoria, The Place to Be A Hippy"

:D

LOL

Nimbin is in your state - no where near Vic (thank God)

[gman]

Victoria. The place to be.... not an idiot New South Welshman. :p

Oh this could get nasty ;)

Better an "idiot" from NSW than a (insert preferred insult here) from Victoria...

And so it begins... :p

[gman]

Ahahahaha

"Victoria, The Place to Be A Hippy"

:D

LOL

After looking at your avatar and reading your comment Dee, I though it said "Happy" not "hippy"...

Freudian slip there..

[Vectracious]

Better an "idiot" from NSW than a (insert preferred insult here) from Victoria...


No, not really. An idiot from NSW is pretty much it for me ;) :D


But anyway - great front page !!! :D

[ASTRAY]

Thanks to all who like the front page :)


What do i win :D :p

im pretty sure it was a years membership mate. congratulations.

from original thread...



The front page to the site is awesome, but it is getting a little old.
For those who want to submit them I will get you to send them to my e-mail address.
The pictures will then be resized and posted up anonymously, they will then be voted on by you.
What does the winner get, a free 12 month membership pack to the site.



ill take your big stickers :p
though i dont think pete has finished sorting out the membership thing yet, might have to wait.

"victoria, the place to be" dressed up in drag cruising the streets of st kilda trying to spot to gAy.F.L players :p

jk guys, lived in melb for almost a year and its honestly a great place, a much better place to live than sydney. (not saying tis better than nsw though :D)
and even though underbelly may give the opposite impression, a much safer place to live.

sand at beaches is more like gravel though :mad:
lived in east keilor, worked in north laverton. mym. also done some work for schivello furniture near airport west.
ex worked at pizza haven in st albans, now thats a suburb you DONT want to visit lol, that and sunshine.
i remember looking on the net and at maps, seen the suburb named sunshine and thought wow id love to live there! until i seen the place.
though every suburb, city, state and country has its bad areas. id rather sunshine than redfern!

[hazrd]

jay..... i live next to laverton north :eek:

[Shay]

lovin it!!

[ASTRAY]

jay..... i live next to laverton north :eek:
worked on fitzgerald, i think, been too long now.
used to ride my pushy from keilor east to work.
was a bitch on those cold melb mornings :(

id still be there if the chick i was with wasnt such a mole.

[maloo97]

Well done matt.

Looks great!

[Kudrow]

There will be a fluid design added soon so that it shrinks to your screen size, to prevent the scroll bars from showing.

[PaulyJ]

Well done mate!
Damn i look good... ;)
*mmm beer...*

[Wraith]

New front page looks awesome, love it - agree with the majority accepting a variety of Opel vehicles and their owners from this club together...:)

Well done all involved :)

[Black Nugget]

great work on the cover page and and a photo incorporating soo many

it really makes opelaus seem very inviting....only thing to change would maybe put nice attractive leggy blonde instead of pauly:p

[poita]

cant have u cake and eat it too :p

dw if there was a choice of him on the front page or a leggy blonde, i know which would of won ;)

[noobie]

New front page looks ****ing awesome. Good choice by the voters.

[CNBLU]

Yes it does look quite good... especially that blue thing with the white wheels:dita:

[Jerram]

good stuff.

I'm using Ffox & there are scroll bars which take away from it a bit.

Also as Poita said earlier there is a Holden Commodore and Subaru Imprezza in that photo.

[Vectracious]

Also as Poita said earlier there is a Holden Commodore and Subaru Imprezza in that photo.

So?

[poita]

we wil be installng a script to auto resize to your screen jerram

[CNBLU]

Also as Poita said earlier there is a Holden Commodore and Subaru Imprezza in that photo.


So?

its just a sneez box:p

they are part of the family... like it or lump it fella

[Vectracious]

its just a sneez box:p

they are part of the family... like it or lump it fella

i thought yours sneezes more than mine anyway :p

[poita]

its more of a stab at vectracious and explosiv jerram.

i dont mind at all jerram, as has been discussed here before.
yes we are an Opel forum, but there are many many varied cars on here.
the main car i drive is a mazda......

[alts]

the main car i drive is a mazda......

tutt tutt.. :p

[immenotu]

Also as Poita said earlier there is a Holden Commodore and Subaru Imprezza in that photo.


Thats an easter egg for those that look hard enough at the pic :p :D

[hazrd]

the main car i drive is a mazda......


magna here :yikes:

i wondered why the site front page would load perfect on my laptop (vista and ie8) and would load enormous on my PC (vista and ie7)

but on my work laptop, i have to add the 'forums' at the end of the site address because the "Click to Enter" text in the pic doesnt even change to clickable! (winxp on ie6 i think)


and as for the sneeze boxes, there aint nothin wrong with em :) *bless you* :D

[Wraith]

Yes it does look quite good... especially that blue thing with the white wheels:dita:


They all look HOT !!!

I especially like the burgandy TS Astra :cornut:

[Shay]

is it just noot me or does the front page not resize to fit the screen? thought kudrow was working on something to do this. or we just got to live with the smaller one because itll suit almost every comp

[ASTRAY]

is it just noot me or does the front page not resize to fit the screen? thought kudrow was working on something to do this. or we just got to live with the smaller one because itll suit almost every comp
it has definately come down in size for me, still doesnt fit screen, but is small enough to click the enter button without scrolling. im happy with it.

[alts]

He's gotta cater for us 22 inchers. :-)

[Shay]

used to fit fine on my 19.
the size i see now is probably smaller than a 13

[Neeko]

tiny welcome screen

[Kudrow]

It will be staying like this for a little while guys, until I can work something out.

I will post when it's fixed for good. :)
