Default MCF Shirt V2 a trip to it's members

Hello all,
as some of you may remember back in 2010 we had taz's trip around the world,

Pic thread from taz's trip

I would like to bring V2 to to everyone
I have a MCF shirt that was made up by a member and it sat in my back window representing the forum, now I would like to send it on a journey, I have set up a dedicated email for it I will roll out rules and procedures for it in the next few days to get the ball rolling, so who's in?

Too bad it wasn't started a little sooner so you could start it at the Michigan meet!!

If this is going to start again, a couple additional ideas:
- Time limit as to how long members could hold on to the shirt before passing it on. Some people held on to it for weeks, maybe a month+ before moving it on. If you are not ready to take pics with it, let someone who is take next in line. When I got the original shirt I tried to do something with it within a week and then find the next person to move it on to.
- When shipping the shirt, post the tracking number!! This way it is confirmed that it was shipped and if it goes missing there is a tracking number to contact the shipper.
- Keep in mind, the idea is to try and move this item to as many members as possible and allow them to sign it. Don't consume large portions of the shirt signing it.

Not sure if you were a member at the time, but a MCF.com member years ago got a Taz T-shirt and the idea was to send it to other members. The next member to receive it would sign it and get pics of it with their car or at local land marks, then either meet with another member or mail it to the next person.
The idea was a lot of fun, but came to a sad end when it got lost in shipping somewhere.

Pretty cool idea for sure, I have been a member here since 2008 but disappeared for a bit probably when this was going on the first time. Would be very cool too see this happen!

Completely agree, this is part of my plan and part of the reason I set up the dedicated email to it, I wantedi to get them up and get this going sooner but work all weekend which im working more than my normal 12hr been 16-18Hr shifts so I get home,shower and usually try to relax, then I have monday/Tues off so plan on getting pics with it and on a computer so I can easily set up threads for both pictures and discussion/rules/procedures/issues /tracking ect becuase on a phone just isn't the easiest

I'm game to try this again. I agree with Barbara. Too bad it didn't get started a little early. It could've made the rounds at the MMCC meet last weekend.
