Just emailed them to see about getting a VX shirt made... if they can get at least 20 committed members then there is no charge for
the artwork... it would be a stock one, and all the colors will be available! Looks like the shirts are around 13 bucks.

Too cool... I'm in.

Cool, I'd probably buy one too. Maybe someone with a business license could get the wholesale price on these.

I couldn't find anything on the website about the quality of T-Shirts and printing process they use. I'd certainly be most interested if they use quality materials that will last for a long time.

I recently was looking around at these and turned up a handful of good sites, but I think they were all in the UK. The Trooper pic from the link given is exactly the same as one on a UK site called Koolart. I knew I had seen that Trooper drawing before. Hmmm.

I found one site with a lot of them with that "droopy" look to the wheels that I personally didn't like, but maybe some of you do.

For a few other options to consider, take a look at these three I had been considering a while back:

cartooncars.com
koolart.co.uk
scribblymotor.co.uk

Oh, and by the way, when I was looking into this a bit ago, I got inspired to do a bit of it myself. Sort of a surprise project really, but then someone went and decided to rallycross a Merkur instead. :-) You can see it was done shortly after the ERS rally sprint in Starke because I depicted the new wheels. Anyway, here's what I had started on...

Dude! That's awesome! Hey, I never said I'd stop campaigning the Dragon. I just wanted something a bit more competitive for the more serious venues. I've got to drive my VX everyday. ;Do;

Heraclid
11/09/2004, 06:12 PM
Yeah, same here... kinda does make me wish I had a car to thrash around. Haven't worked up the nerve to ask to use the Saturn wagon (don't laugh, it's a peppy little thing) yet, but my parents barely drive it anymore since Dad picked up a Honda Pilot. Mom does run a few errands in it only because she let her 3000GT sit around and now it's practically ready for the scrap heap because of neglect. I don't want to see another perfectly good car go to waste. :-(

Odd that they didn't already have a auto toon of the TAZmanian-devil of vehicles (with its horns & fangs) It will be interesting to see if they can capture the lil beast in their toon. (please post pic)

Is it 25% off from the $12.99 they have the shirt priced at? Which would make it $9.25, or no? Also, If I got the white would it show up well on a white Tee?

CSTYLES
11/17/2004, 07:18 AM
Just bought mine.

Yes, it is 25% off of the 12.99 (so $3.25 off).
$3.85 shipping so its a wash, free shipping.

I was wondering about other color t-shirts too.

johnnyapollo
11/17/2004, 07:20 AM
I ordered 2 and the 25% does apply on top of the sale price. I wish they had 2x sizes - I would order more if they did.

Will there be any custom text along with the graphic, or is it simply the graphic on a white shirt?? It says you can customize it, but then has no option to do so, or at least not that I've been able to find.

Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to the site but have been reading up on the VX since this past January. I then bought my 2000 Ebony in april of this year and I absolutely love it. 34,000 miles and debadged. No other mods. Probably 95% of the info I've received has been from this site and a few others that are very good as well.
btw-please count me in on a couple of those T-Shirts.

I asked for dark colored t-shirts...but from what I'm hearing only white tee's are available? It's not that I hate white shirts...its that I can never seem to keep them from getting stained in some manner! I got a great looking John Force "white" T-shirt that try as I might seems to get a step closer to being ruined each time I wear it!!!!!!!!!;eekb;

Cyrk, hope you dont mind that I used your base design to create a footer myself. I want to swap out the footer I use on all the other forums I browse. I see it as publicity for the VX anyways. ;)

Of course, I changed your design quite a bit to match my VX more, so it's not a direct hack. :p

Once I upload it to my site I'll post it. Got bored at work today so I thought I would do a little something ya know.

Got mine this week.
No discount, but no xtra shipping charges as well.
Bit disapointed about the quality though.
1/ The fabric is a bit on the thin side.
2/The Pic wasn't as sharp as expected.
3/The pic was a bit high on the shirt to my liking.

I wonder how many times you're able to wash it before the pic fades or the shirt looks like a dress?

Anyway, the wife was certain in her judgement: "It's not worth $5,00" she said.

I'm afraid I agree.

If I had a really sharp pic, I'd buy my own T-shirt and make one of my own with the inkjet and some special paper as I've done in the past.

The result would be much better.:(

geshaw30
11/24/2004, 02:53 PM
I might suggest you turn it inside out then cold water wash. Line dry. I threw mine in using warm water and then into the dryer. It faded and cracked. A couple more washes like that one and I'm afraid it'll be all done. Disappointing

Yep, got my shirts as well. For the price, I think they are great. I missed the discount post, but no worries. I like them a lot. My little lady is a total designer clothing buff and ONLY wears expensive "crap". But, she is such a big fan of my "cute car" that she wants the other shirt I bought. It will be her "pj shirt" she says. That's cool though. I wanna roll over in the morning and see a cute face and a kick *** car staring back at me. ;)

I'm not a T-shirt wearing guy, so instead that toon would make a great tatoo.;eekb;... j.k. I'm a little VX crazy (not VX insane). Wish they printed them on sweatshirts. In my opinion the VX is autoons best design and may increase the interest in the VX, but then I may be bias.;) BTW, the yellow is the best lookin toon, what happened to the black :confused: (looks more like dark gray)

11/29/2004, 07:39 AM
Washed mine inside out w/ cold water and dried on warm, and it still cracked and faded. I personally won't ever buy an autotooner t-shirt again, and wouldn't recommend any more members here buy them.

WormGod

Use it as a workshop shirt. Only wear it when doing VX care and then handwash it in COLD water, hang dry. It's drying that tends to tear up colorforms/iron-ons. I have gotten a shirt from them before and it still looks pretty good (not perfect).

I never got my stupid shirt.. not the one I ordered from the 8th or the second I ordered two weeks ago.. I sent them a nasty e-mail.. anyway.. I was looking for some more contact info.. and in their FAQ section is says:

How do I wash my shirt
Wash cold water,and for drying use hang dry.

I guess avoid the dryer

Hanalei
11/29/2004, 11:38 AM
Your best bet, if your not crazy about the t-shirts from Autotooner, is to make your own. Buy the photo transfer paper, print YOUR VX on it and iron it onto a cotton tee (I'm gonna do my yellow Proton on a black tee). Care wise, inside out in cold water and Woolite and hang dry. No guarantee that it won't fade eventually but it'll cost next to nothing to make and you'll have your truck on it.

If you try yellow on a black shirt look carefully for ink jet iron-on paper for dark shirts. I just did one on black at it came out great with this paper. It is new I think and harder to find. If I remember correctly, with all the shopping going on, I got it at Office Max. (route 1, New Brunswick)

I got my shirts about three days after I ordered them! I couldn't believe they could physically get there that fast! Now I am afraid to wash them but I sure do love them. Thanks!

I really love the look of VXR's pic. I would go for a shirt with this on.
