Hi All,

Good afternoon folks !!!

I worked hard to prepare the international section inside the italian forum. The only allowed language will be english. After the international meeting, we (italian mods) decided to offer a "service" to all Panda Drivers from all the parts of the World !!

I prepared different sections for the most common purposes. -The Welcome section describes our story, who we are, and it gives a warm welcome !!

-The International Meeting Section is reserved only for the main annual meeting of Panda 4x4 Off Road Club Italia.

-The Tech section will be used to translate in english the most common modifies that we use in Italy to make off-road. It will require some time to translate hundreds pages

-The Foreign Contacts section is open to all links, partnerships,twinships, meetings and invites from european Panda clubs !

Remember also to use the original nicknames you have in this forum, please.

Re: Panda 4x4 International Forum

I came out with such a proposal to Mirko but for 2017 as if we are want to gather all the biggest Panda Scene nations accross Europe in one place, lots of talking and negotation will be involved followed by chunk of logistic and organising the event place. We have managed to get closer with the Panda Germany Division - guys there are wide open for 2nd International event.
Possible location depends mainly on the variaty of nations involved, as how far they are willing to travel. My concers are the Spain and Portugal, both have massive Panda scene but distance wise it might be problematic. 2016 is definately not enough time to do it right.

True, somewhere in Germany would be good for a meet. Love that country.

Re: Panda 4x4 International Forum

Although if they're up for a big road trip to an international meet, the obvious place for most Panda owners in any country is still Italy just because that's taking the car home.


..or potentially Austria I suppose for a 4x4.

Re: Panda 4x4 International Forum

I'm browsing pottential location in west of Czeh Republic for obious reson - much cheaper then else, cheap best beer (lager). Plan is to find location interesting for 2wd and 4x4 pandas. German and whole Benelux is mainly 2wd same as many of our fellow forumers here.

We will announce it in the first weeks of September , as a "twinship/partnership" between our 2 forums !!
Please guys wait for that period to start posting

Yup that's correct Jacob, I know that 2016 is too close for crossing again the whole Europe.
I'm not expecting to see you here in few months, I know it's not easy to plan !


I created a thread called : Next Year Meeting - Free Questions
The reason is that the international section can be used by all European panda drivers , not only by british ones.


Right now I'm in contact with French panda drivers (mods of french forum) and also with 1 italian guy that attends the national german meeting since 2014.
If some of them are interested, that thread is available for them !!


It is a service that we offer, you ask, we answer.


.

Well done Mirko, I am very impressed with your hard work on this. I hope other members appreciate what you are doing for the partnership and what it will mean for them in the future. I am looking forward to the grand September opening

This will be really great to converse on your forum!

I already have some rear light clusters saved to bribe the members

I'm looking forward to attending another international meet but next time I'm cutting through France

All sounds good, already looking forward to the next massive Panda meet up

.


Good morning people !!


The international section is almost ready , few days left to use it !!


Stay tuned for updates !!




.

Just to let you all know kestrel4x4 has advised me the section is now officially open so please feel free to head over there and sign up and say hello

.
Please guys, another thing :


Remember to fill up the field regarding the place where you live, it will become compulsory in the next days !

Even if you live outside Italy it doesn't matter, just fill it.


Thank you guys !!

.
Guys another advice please !!


Remember to open 1 thread for each user (inside the welcome area) !!

I'm saying this because some users are posting in other user's thread - LOL




Thanks for your patience guys !!

Hi Marko
I've registered on the international site but when I try to post in the welcome section I get the message "The file you have tried to attach is invalid"

What am I doing wrong please?

.
Good evening Andy !!


You attached a picture.


Usually that message means that there is something wrong with the size of your file..........


If you cannot upload pictures, you can send them to my e-mail adress.
I can upload pictures for you inside your messages (I'm a mod )




First of all open your thread with the text, and then I can do it for you.

Ahh thank you. - That one was 3.74 mb so maybe too big, what's the size limit?

.
At the moment the maximum size allowed in the forum is 2 MB.


My advice is to download a program called : PIX-RESIZER, it works nicely and it is available for different purposes.
It's free & super fast to download.



p.s. Andy I added some pictures for you in the presentation thread

Good evening folks !!

Some days ago Northernchap asked me to get some stickers of PORCI club.
I had a talk with the President and he fully approves his request.

We will donate the Panda 4x4 Off Road Club Italia (PORCI) stickers to the british Panda Community !!


Jimmy had a wonderful idea, he will receive the package and then send to each member in UK who would like to have a sticker.

Guys, if you want to have some stickers, plese talk with Northernchap (Jimmy)

Thanks Mirko

We must get our finger out and sort a UK sticker design for the Fiat Forum Panda (classic) section!
