Welcome to the Event Forum

Welcome to the Event Forum

Here you can share your own event reports from events and museums around the world. To maintain some order we have set up the following rules, which will be closely moderated. The plan is to have all members vote on the best event report every month with the winner featured on the main page.

Events Forum Rules:

1. Photographs can be of any event, so no bagging on anyone if their event is not automotive in nature.

2. Photographs posted MUST use the attachement feature and can not be shown inline.

3. Photographs posted MUST be at LEAST 1024 pixels (either vertical or horizontal).

4. When posting an event, post all details/text in the first post.

5. Do NOT reply until the original poster has posted all of their photographs.

6. Use the following format for thread titles: Event Name / Location / Date

7. Constructive comments are fine. Rude comments, personal attacks, and generally pointless posts are not.

This is not a rule, but I would like to see any event posted have at least 20 images.

This list maybe updated at anytime, so check it before posting a new event. I will keep a close eye on the proceedings, but if I overlook something please shoot me a PM.

Also, if anyone has input on improvements please feel free to shoot me a PM or discuss them in this thread.. There have already been discussions on how to subdivide the events, so look for that change once we get some events posted.

[Wouter Melissen]

Welcome!

Thanks to Dino Scuderia for posting the first event: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/events/37635-petit-le-mans-atlanta-georgia-october-4th-2008-a.html

[Wouter Melissen]

If you have posted an event report in the past and would like it added here, please ask nopassn or the other moderators and they can move and restructure the thread according the rules.

if we went to a car museum or a car show or something, would it be better to post cars in their specific pages in the hideout, or woudl you rather them be posted here in an event report?

I would rather see an event report.

Is it OK to place a long list of all business events in Europe, from the Automotive sector ? I keep one up-to-date each month, with names, adresses and more for school.

I guess my first report is of the excursion to Broekman Group/Rotterdam Car Terminal on October 28th. I organise this for my school, about once a month and each time to a different company. So far for 2008 we have the Broekman Group, DAF Trucks and Bosch/VDT planned. The only thing is that it is virtually impossible to take pictures whilst on the company terrains. They dont allow photography and it's pretty difficult to find good images. Would this be a problem for this section or should I pst anyway and scan some flyers and booklets from them then ? Maybe a Powerpoint slideshow if we are allowed to publish the sometimes deeply explained technical stuff with some notes taken from their whiteboards and stuff ??

Anyway, let me know. This section is a good idea, lets hope it gets nice and active !

[clutch-monkey]

this is pretty cool, no chance of a bulk upload utility? :p but anyway, the idea is to post pics of trackdays and events right? i'll add a thread soon

No, this forum is intended for event reports. If you want to list events, you can add them to the Calendar (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/calendar.php).

Yes exactly. Are there any of your previous reports we could move here?

[clutch-monkey]

i think my last few threads have been events only? not much of a report as such, mostly pictures

Maybe you can edit them to fit in here. I think they are certainly interesting enough.

[clutch-monkey]

okay, i'll put more info into them tomorrow night, well as much as i can recall at least.

4. When posting an event, post all details/text in the first post.

If it is meant here that info SHOULD be present, then it's ok. But in case it is meant that it should be present in first post ONLY, I have to disagree. I more like to post the details about each car in the post where the car's photos are present - this is more convenient to read. Moreover, for some events the info may be longer then it is allowed for one post.

3. Photographs posted MUST be at LEAST 1024 pixels (either vertical or horizontal).

Why?.

It's meant that the first should contain the info. If there is more info then it can of course be spread.

Ok, then everything's great :)

What I had in mind was, all the event info and such in the first post - addition information, about the cars being posted and such is certainly welcome in subsequent posts.


Why?.

Because it will enhance the quality of content to have it in a decent sized resolution.

I think this forum is an excellent idea.

May I recommend that this thread of mine be moved here?
http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/classic-cars/34502-antique-car-show-2007-a.html
For the revised title, I suggest "Antique Car Show / Chantilly, Virginia / June 17, 2007"

I was also at the show in 2008; now I have an incentive to put the pictures into some kind of order and write up a description. Does it matter that the event was about four months ago?

I grabbed the other thread. No the date doesn't matter.

[clutch-monkey]

tried to add as much info as i could recall into the last two threads i'd made, it's not much unfortunately (i'm not always there as a record keeper more to have fun :D )

[Dino Scuderia]

What about renaming this new forum 'Documented Events'?

Just calling it 'Events' seems to indicate future events, or a calendar forum IMO.

[faksta]

I'd like to see some of my earlier threads here, if it is possible.

Yep, I know most of them have some other members' posts between my ones, but the rules were not imposed back then yet, and I guess these are events :)

Many thanks! :)

I tried posting an event on the Calander, and it never showed up. What is the proper way to post events?

[Sledgehammer]

So can we call the Calender a "useless function" now?

[fisetdavid26]

It's always been pretty much useless tbh.

I'll ask W if we can do something about it if he doesn't reply here first.

[Sledgehammer]

Useless because users have tried to post but events never shown up? Or because users have never tried?

Sounds good man.

[fisetdavid26]

As far as I can work out the calendar is used for birthdays and events that were added by the admin account.

[GCe]

Hi,
I can share some photos from Hockenheimring Historic on 25th April 2009. I have them on picasa. is it ok to post the link in the events forum (instead of attached photos)? .
Kind regards, Robert

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Hello,

We would always prefer you to Post photos and reports onto our own website simply as broken links and images can clutter up our forums and render your hard work unusable.

It sounds like a wonderful event and I look forward to the photos.

[medanum6298]

I'm new in here, Hope to enjoy this forum.


Edit: You can stay if you don't spam....

[Annagyijjk]

Ok, I'll post more about them tomorrow, and as far as I can remember at least.

EDIT: as above. You can stay if you dont post SPAM

[linhely]

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth

[jack16]

Hello everyone，I am a new forum users.My name is boby,my favourite sports is basketball，I hope we will take a good time in same forum and look forward to make more friends here ,thank you.

[thebrochureman]

Wow, this thread has had a lot of spamers.
