Would like to see userboxes for Chrysler

edit

Anybody have any thoughts for making userboxes for Chrysler cars? I don't have too much time in my life with making userboxes for Wikipedia, so someone please help me by making and posting a few.Chris Batchelor(Byankno1) 23:02, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see any Chryslers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph507357 (talkcontribs) 00:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

MGB and MGB GT

edit

Would it be possible to include the above models, please? Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sure it would be no problem to make a couple of those up in quick order. Do you have an image that you would like used, otherwise I can see what is available on Commons. - Ahunt (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your prompt reply...(within an hour!)... I would be delighted if you would. Sorry, but I don't have any images. For what it's worth, my own car is a 1970 white B GT, which I have owned since new. Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 23:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
No problem, I try to be punctual. How do these look? Please let me know if you would like any changes as they are quick and easy to do:

Excellent work. What a service. A white GT as well. You are very kind. Would it be possible to alter the MGBGT box to read "... owner"?
Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 08:59, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
It didn't take much sleuthing at all to find a white MGB GT! The wording is fixed! - Ahunt (talk) 12:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
I opened up my page and there it was already with the revised wording.
I am very grateful. All the best, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 14:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
No problem - userboxes are easy and fun to do for other editors. If you need any more just drop me a note! - Ahunt (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Good to know that. Should contact be made on your own talk page in future or an appropriate subject talk page? Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't matter, I watch them all! - Ahunt (talk) 16:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lamborghini Countach

edit

I really would like a userbox for my favorite car, the Lamborghini Countach! Allen (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

How is this?
Code Result
{{User:Ahunt/Countach}}
 This user's favorite car is the Lamborghini Countach.
Usage
Let me know if you need any changes to the picture, colours or wording! - Ahunt (talk) 13:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Could you add the fact that the Lamborghini Countach is the favorite car of the Wikipedian? Or, make an alternate version?
Speaking of alternate versions, could alternate versions be made for each kind of Countach (LP400, LP500, Quattrovalvole, Anniversary Edition, etc.)? Allen (talk) 03:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
No problem, I fixed the wording above. How does that look? I can do those variations without any problem. Is that a complete list of them? - Ahunt (talk) 14:03, 15 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. It looks great. I'd appreciate those variations. I don't think those are the only ones. I'd check out the Lamborghini Countach article for the complete list.
Also, even though I don't have one, I'd think about starting this variation: "This Wikipedian owns a Lamborghini Countach." (or something like that). Just use your imagination for any others. If I think of any, I can let you know.

Userbox

edit

@Ahunt: Can you add this userbox to the gallery I don't now where it goes. The company that created this car merged with another company, then the merge company broke up after this car stopped production. User:WaddlesJP13/Mini. Catfurball (talk) 19:25, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Kind of arbitrary, but I put it at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Automobiles/Models_A–L#Austin. - Ahunt (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion

@Ahunt: Can you please separate the automotive industry userboxes onto their own gallery. Catfurball (talk) 21:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
