Sorry, i'm wrong...
The new VW van celebrated its launch in 1975 in Berlin. The name given to Volkswagen's large transporter was as functional as the entire vehicle: it was just called LT, which is simply the abbreviation of Lasten-Transporter (‘cargo transporter'). Edited by danhaines - 17 Sep 08 at 13:06 |

Wow - thanks for the responses guys.
I too agree that we should keep a forum running but do need some form of web front page for visitors - I'm a member of Stoke and Staffs VeeDubs and we have a forum on Volkstorque - so that's the kind of thing I think we could model on - using a website that points to the forum. Stickers - good idea - could they be done @ cost? Also need a logo needs designing. I'm going to try and speak with Ian who was the former secretary of the old LT club though I think he's lost interest now but you never know. The old club wasn't overly webwise so I think it's a writing to people job to make former members aware of us. So - any volunteers? Anyone with webspace for starters? I think we should keep all communication here for now. Leigh..... Edited by LT35_Leigh - 17 Sep 08 at 17:05 |

Hi leigh I have plenty of webspace available - as I said previously it's Linux based so ideal for HTML, javascript, PHP & MySQL databases. I am a webmaster for www.vwsoa.co.uk which has a seperate forum at www.dorset-v-dubs.co.uk (both hosted on my servers) love the club (my brother runs it) but it's all air cooled and their not very interested in LTs (fools) - please feel free to nick any layout or topic ideas

Mike - neat - that's one hurdle jumped already. Now the matter of content.
What do we want to see? |

I would like to see:
- a gallery of owners vans - perhaps also an area where people have made conversions with hints, tips and pics...
- Perhaps a searchable database of technical tips, broken down into electrical, bodywork, engine, gearbox etc. etc.
- A direct static link to those lovely manuals the guys have already uploaded
- Club events diary
and the bouncers in pink, if you wouldn't mind

Mike: yes, yes, yes and yes. Bouncers?
Milk'n'Cheese: I know you can add the map-type things on ready done - 80-90 had something similar once I think. Blog idea good too. |

Stickers - good idea - could they be done @ cost? Absolutely. The vinyl is very cheap to buy and i own the machine that cuts it. They'll be no more than £1 each posted i reckon (sensible size of course!) I'll put my brain to designing a few logo's and see what everyone thinks. here's my website if anyone's interested http://www.theloftcreative.com |

I've made us a map on zeemaps that we could use for these early stages to see where main interest lies. Everyone who is interested please add a location (or one at least nearby to where you live :P), even those just viewing and not posting :)
