Default Mobile car weighing

Hi guys, I came across this guy in Sydney that does mobile corner weighting. It was really interesting and informative and cheap! Thought there would be a whole heap of people interested in this for their own cars. Im not sure what the rules are about promoting other companies work but this service was awesome! PM me if you want some details.

Help people around the place in threads,donate or just spread the word quietly in appropriate threads untill you become a bit more of a regular bloke,we dont know you/friend from a bar of soap

Ask the track if they would like to work out a deal where you do some weighing on race days/test and tunes to get the buisness out their.

Thanks mate! I thought this was spreading the word quietly. Could you suggest who to contact to speak to about track days or what the process is to advertise/donate?

Cheers!!

You've joined possibly 6 or more forums in the last week and your posts are about your "mate", except the ones defending yourself, it smells of spam, sorry if it's not, but if you or your mate are serious, most forums will happily take sponsors

im not pretending to be a company in hiding, nor trying to spam, just letting people know of a cool service that may be of interest to forum members, im a member of a few forums personally and joined 3 others to let people know about this service. i have been advised where to look for sponsor/donating info (thanks FreddyDUZ747) so sorry if this seems inappropriate but im just letting people know whats out there...
cheers

my take on all this is I wouldnt even entertain employing the services of a person who's only posts on a forum is to spam their or their mates business, if the poster was a regular contributor and wanted to drum up business for themselfs, thats cool in my book, but then again a regular contributor would also know how to sponcor the site

just my 2c

Actualy advertising your business is not what forums are all about

Do you have any interest in Fords? As that is what this forum is about.

If so contribue in other threads aside from this spam thread (that I can't work out why it's even still open) if not don't let the door hit you on the a$$ as you leave

he knows (albeit even if it is his) of something that might be useful to some car enthusiasts......

Not everyone has the coin to start a business, and then pay for sponsoring a forum or dropping a bucket of more money to get the word out....

If you disclose your allegiance to a product or service that could be of some use to forum users and doesn't interfere with existing sponsors' business ...... surely you are allowed to tell us about it?

Perhaps, but this is being posted for business reasons and we have very good sponsors here doing the right thing.

Imagine if everyone started threads on businesses that might be beneficial. Lets not be to naive.

So yes it is spam, but as far as spam goes his been polite, others are usually more blunt.

Lock thread, then if someone searches for weighing then they find it and the user and PM.
