CLK OF THE MONTH

....my daily is a honda prelude n on my other forums they do a "prelude of the month" and then make a calendar for the next year......i think we should start this with CLK's....w208s n w209s since we only have a limited amount....combine both generations into 1 calendar....what do u guys think....ne1 good with designing this type of thing? ...whoever designs it can distribute it for a reasonable price of their choosing...

HERES AN EXAMPLE:

sounds like a great idea, but i dont think there are enough mod'd cars just from the w208/209 side. if maybe we started it as a mbworld thing, then it'd be easier.

yeah I seen it done on the motorcycle sites where they have bike of the month usually they have the moderator controlling the voting of the peers to determine who got the most votes for the month. Just somebody has to be willing to put the time in

Good idea Hersh. Just need a couple folks willing to take the time. I'd be interested, but can't take on the whole project! I think we have 12 solid cars around here for sure. I think we could do 12 208's actually. As long as we can find some good high res photos of each one.
