Thumbs up NATS: Flyers for dealers & to give other 8 owners

Ok, I have put together two simple flyers, in Acrobat format, for people to print out and distribute. One is to leave with your friendly neighbourhood dealer (or other place current and pending RX-8 owners might congregate); the other is to keep in your car, and give to other 8 owners you see.

Spread the word!

PS: Yes you can give me a hard time about the artwork and design, but I have to say trying to put this together AND stay under the Forum's 100k attachment limit was....er ...challenging :o

EDIT: have revised the flyer -- should work better now

Nice flyer however very hard to read , with the red RX8 as background and the black small typeface.

You should be able to download it by right-click save as... then it is an A4 sheet with 2 copies per sheet that can be cut and left....or doesn't it appear that way??

As per your instructions i have succesfully downloaded and printed two copies .

Two problems arise because of the colour we waste ink , second problem the background being dark its very hard to read and i know whats in the text .

I am not being difficult but its extremely hard to read .

Good work Timbo.

Hymette has badgered me for ages to do something like that for "the products".

Cheers,
Hymee.

Boys and girls,

Print the flyers for the recall... people WILL go to the dealer in the next months or so. Time to get them on board, particularly NSW.

Good luck ;0

Maybe we should make it a condition of our docile reaction to the recall that our dealer undertakes to give a flyer to every owner?

Maybe we could help solve the logistical problems of the recall, and have get Mazda to have mass-recall service tent / workshop at the Nats. Mazda can encourage all the 8 owners to go to the nats for the recall to be done there. That will save them heaps of money!

Cheers,
Hymee.

good idea though.... but not really, that means the dealers wont be abel to do it at their pace , and just imaging the overtime and associated costs to have their "people" they have to fork out over the weekend for that..... as well as the equipments they needed and OH&S thingy :D
