    Thanks, :) not bad for an original 37 year old car, right?
    Looking at her makes me feel prouder than a parent of a kid on honor roll.

    Looks like fresh paint. Honor roll only needs a few 'A-minuses', your wagon is a 5-star prom queen!:rofl2:

    I thing the Rev's sig line needs to be worked into the video somewhere:

    "remember when the term 'Family vacation' meant actually getting into the Wagon and driving somewhere?"

    Might make for a good opening title sequence.

    That is good. How about this for an opening statment?

    "Do you remember when the term 'Family Vacation' meant actually getting into the Wagon and driving somewhere? For some of us, it is a daily way of life"

    Then it fades away and in comes the sites URL and the start of the music track.......

    (y) I think its brilliant. Definitely an attention getter.

    I think we could do with a nice graphic logo for the site, too.

    That would be up to Stef, he has the say on the logo. Something classy looking would be cool, a script style emblem look would be the ticket.

    You are a mind reader, right?

    How is this for a quick "proof of concept" draft?

    I just made some slight refinements and edited my post with an update.
    Added a slight drop-shadow and some outer glow on "forums" to get it to stand out.

    I think the concept works well, but I would want to use a photo of real wagon woodgrain for the background.

    I have a good start on the video now, I used that logo, even if we do not use it for anything else. Thanks Steve.

    I still need pics from alot of you guys, its for the good of the forum and to show the world that Wagons are important to us. Do it for you cars if nothing else. I will not use anyones images unless they give me direct permission and point me the way to them.

    Thank you to the ones who have helped me/us.
