Evening all,
Been floating around on rx7club.com and found a thread regarding 1st gen calenders 2011 so thought I\'d see if there was any interest on our side of the pond to get a load sent over together and then get a price based on the quantity in question. I believe the gentleman has done these to a high standard for the past few years and there seems to be strong interest
So anyone who\'d like to express they\'re interest in these please add yourself to the list. Please note you are not signing yourself up at this point just want to get some numbers together. I\'ll start.
Tim
Well I do need something to replace my Cheryl Cole calender.
Keith...
Haha cool...
Tim

or how about we submit photos of our cars to a site like Vistaprint, Kodak gallery or something similar and do our own? There must be 12 of us on here who could submit nice photos of their cars to make a collective calendar
Thats not a bad shout Ian-I\'m up for it.
me too..... we need 12 of us to each put up a nice pic of our cars....... and perhaps a collage for the front cover?

That snapfish site run by HP is quick-I had the wife\'s book in 4 days from them having all the photos. It\'s quick because you do all the hard work with picture placement and designs etc, they just print what ever you come up with.

Okay, so the deadline to be determined by us so we need to gather all the appropriate photos together and collate them into a presentable format to preview proposed layout - perhaps subscribers might have an option for preferred \'month\' for their chosen photo or perhaps the optimum month would be judged by the content of the photo?Photos to be submitted no later than ...... date?Can we have a volunteer to organise this please? - me, I wouldn\'t know where to start, who to contact etc (never done this type of thing before).
I don\'t mind tranferring the pictures onto whatever site we use etc-what I\'ll do is set up a dedicated photobucket account then PM/email everyone who is involved the password so that we can get decent resolution pics for it. Unless anyones got a better idea?

Good for me Tim - thank you.
On second thoughts-just email them to my email address
captainbizzaro at aol dot com
And I\'ll just use my personal photobucket to transfer them to the site that\'ll be easier. Make sure all photos are in landscape and are fairly decent resolution. Once it\'s done I\'ll send you all a link to look at the proof to ensure you\'re all happy with it.
If everyone could do it asap that\'d be great-there\'s some people not popped up yet (Stu, Steve!) so come on!!

i\'ve sent a Pic Tim. We\'ll have to talk about how we pay \'cos I\'ll want perhaps 5 copies of the complete calendar, 4 at least.
Pic was taken in August time so around then would be great. Thanks for taking it on Tim.
Dave....Committed now.
I\'ll happily buy a calendar, but I can\'t see a merit in having Rexanne featured as no-one wants a calendar featuring a car in bits :P
Quote from: David Nock;730762i\'ve sent a Pic Tim. We\'ll have to talk about how we pay \'cos I\'ll want perhaps 5 copies of the complete calendar, 4 at least.
perhaps we need to find out how many copies each person will want as we may get a discount from the printer if we can state a total required?

If we are struggling for an S2, I will offer the car I sent to NZ a few months ago - no particular month is needed.
Naturally this would only be a space filler, I don\'t want to be greedy :) but it is a nice example - here is a refresher:

A good pic of the S1 would be great Stu.
Keith still need a picture of yours if you don\'t mind? Ramon we also still need a decent picture of your S3! Bonnet off!?! mmmmm engine pornography.
Thanks Stu and Daverey for your recent submissions....
Lets try and get all pictures in by this weekend.

Cheers Paul-I literally have the memory of a siv so please anyone don\'t feel excluded if you haven\'t been mentioned or whatever-just bung us a picture and state interest/quantity etc.
Also doesn\'t matter if we have more than 12 different cars as you can probably do collages.

Ah that takes me back to when I had my yellow S1 - that car was my pride and joy, happy days. Cheers for sharing this with us Stu.
I loved that S1,if only i had a double garage i\'d of kept it.
Tim my titty calender runs out end of year,so i\'m sure my girlfriend will be delighted,she was always dropping hints to grow up & get rid of it!
Thats art i replied,she just rolled her eyes!
ta stu..
Haha-we\'ll see what happens when the 1st gen calender goes up in the kitchen! That SA was seriously cool though.
Ian-do you have snow again today? Was wondering if you can get another pic of NFX snowbound because the ass end of her is slightly cut off in the original.:Thumbs-up
surrey now has over 16" of snow,no work for me today!
I\'ve tried to track the S1 in Ireland to see what owners done to it,but no luck,probably just sitting in a garage i hope,worst case sitting outside being neglected.

That would be a shame

I\'ve got one pretty much the same but with snow all over the place? Was thinking I might try to take a long exposure photo this evening, whilst grinding/welding which would make for pretty light trails and be a good winter restoration photo with the snow etc?
Well, these are the ones I\'ve emailed...feel free to use any, all, or none of them, and crop or edit away as necessary :) (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/220520102142-1.jpg) (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/220520102141-1.jpg) (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF4222.jpg) (http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF5220.jpg)

@ Steve I think the shot of Rexanne in Resto is more to the point - owners are so dedicated they will dig up mum\'s garden, get a gazebo up, work on it in sub zero......and that missing headlight is great.
Also your idea about another shot with spark trails in the snow hits the spot for me Steve.
Just my opinion...ignore me.

No worries Dibs-that picture may have to be in a collage then as it gets grainy when expanded. Do you have any other pictures of her that you like but are higher resolution

I\'ve just emailed photo to you Tim and then looked at this thread - quite a number of seasonal pics so I\'ll look through again and probably send some more for optional choice. Here is my thought for November our even earlier in the year ??

@ dave,
Sent u pic,it\'s the best i can do,i\'m afraid.
ta stu..
Thanks again everyone for the stream of pictures coming through.
Here is a rough idea of what I\'ve been doing-a couple of things to note....
-There is purposely no January as I\'m waiting for the right pick from Keith
-This isn\'t final proof as a couple of pics missing so keep em coming
-Picture of Tim\'s Purple Peril needs to be okayed to use on final product (plus that one is low res)
-Picture of Stu\'s car is for reference so I know that month is sorted-photoshopped version of that picture to replace it.
Apologies for the "DEMO" encryption-this is because a mac screenshot is in .tiff format and I used a demo software to convert them to jpeg. For the final proof I shall endeavor to find a bit of software that doesn\'t do this, it also only converted in 72dpi so it won\'t be grainy either.

Please feel free to make suggestions or whatever-I don\'t know what you guys want but you can caption each page so if anyones got any ideas for that (or leave it blank) then come forward!
Fine Tim. Looks like a great job.
Thanks David-it\'s important everyone is genuinely happy with the finished article and is something they\'d happily spend they\'re hard earned dosh on so please please please if anyone is not happy with anything just say so, I won\'t be offended! Likewise though is you are happy with the concept then state that too just want any type of feedback good or bad.
that looks fantastic Tim.... top work!!
I prefer it with out captions, but that\'s just my personal view.
Well done mate, that\'s the b****cks!
Cheers Ian I\'m leaning towards no captions too. Glad you like it.
Tim looks OK to me, well done mate ...
Looks good to me Tim :) I like the mix of montages and large photos, got a nice balance.
Caption wise I, like Ian, don\'t think it needs it.
Only comment/crit I can think of is the crop of Jaz in the 4th page down looks just slightly odd to me? To me it could do with being a fraction wider, so you don\'t just miss the corner off the bumper, or a bit tighter, so it looks a more deliberate crop?
But its a nice photo of Jaz, and I\'m being mega picky there. I\'m also aware how much compromise of concept is needed with these things sometimes to make it work!
Yeah those portrait gaps have been a pain in the ass-I\'ll try making it looking a more deliberate crop I know what you mean.
Looks good to me Tim.
I\'m struggling to find decent pics of my car but have been mucking about today.

Excellent stuff!! It\'d be nice if we could squeeze Keiths jet car in somewhere?
Top draw Tim well done ................
Hi Tim - firstly well done mate, you took on a difficult task and finished with a very good product. It must have been a daunting project in itself without the added pressure to try and keep everybody happy and not being seen to be bias with individuals.
Me - I\'m unhappy with the cropping off to the front bumper on JAZ and hope this is something which can be rectified for the final draft and proof reading.
I thought there might have been an evening/night shot of a car with headlamps on - after all they are driven at night too.
If I were to criticise, it would be with the large photos - if they fill the space that\'s fine (see Daves and your own pics for instance) but where the rex is a lesser size, I think it is wasted space - can they not be zoomed in?
Oh and Keiths photo is a stonker - surely there will be a place for it somewhere?
Almost forgot - no captions needed, the cars speak for themselves and their proud owners!
All credit to you and a pat on the back.
Cliff
:cheers:Thumbs-up:Thumbs-up
Thanks guys
Cliff-I\'ve moved JAZ to a landscape \'hole\' as I wasn\'t particularly happy with that either...
Keith-I agree that photo needs to go in the calender which is handy as the pic of your car I have at the moment isn\'t high res enough really. Can you email it to me please?
Fantastic job Tim, I love it.
Dont worry about the flames pic, would be a shame to start swapping and changing, I think you have done enough work already.
Well done.
Keith...
edit: Just read your post will mail you...
Overall looking good Tim :) Think your right about the JAZ pic needing a landscape place, but I\'ll certainly not complain if the finished calendar is as you\'ve posted just there!
Thank you for putting all this time in on our behalf :)
Right-had a shuffle about so final(ish) proof inbound.

that looks spot on to me
Bloody marvelous ! :D
That\'ll do I reckon.....okay next step is to see how much these\'ll cost-I\'ve got a 50% off code too so will report back then once people know cost we\'ll have a fresh list of people who want one and quantities etc.
what size are the calendars Tim?
I presume demand will be high as this is the 1st edition and set to become a collector item!
They are A4 size Ian
With the 50% code they work out at £7.74 each to my doorstep so if we can include another £1 or so to allow for seperate A4 envelopes and stamps that should cover it if everyone is happy with that?
Oh yeah and I\'ll make sure mine has a spelling mistake so it\'s worth more.:chat:chat:chat:chat:chat
Thats G8 Captain.
I\'ve emailed my pic to dave again,so he can chop it about.
Calender pages look best with a couple of Fb\'s to each page.
Seems to of taken off this idea!

Very happy with that:guinness

Stu, Dave did send me the cropped and shopped version of your pic but unfortunately because of how it was cropped it didn\'t fit properly so I just shopped it at standard size and it fits fine-hopefully you are happy with that.
Oh ok Tim,dave sent me an email saying pic attachment failed,so i\'ve just tried again.
Dave, on this thread did crop my pic,he managed to get rid of the manhole cover in front,is it not possible to use that pic,if it\'s too much hassle or won\'t fit,don\'t worry about it.
Calender looks like a pro job.

sounds fine to me....
I think the current mix of 1 car per page plus others with 2 or 3 cars per page is perfect.
I reckon you\'ve done an ace job getting them all to fit.
Do we need to pay / order by 07.12.10 to get the 50% discount?
Do you want us to paypal you the money?
I tried the manholeless pic and because it was long and thin when transposed onto the calender template it chopped the nose and arse off.
Yeah the code is only valid till the 7th so we\'ve got to get our skates on when it comes to getting this list together-paypal is fine. I\'ll start the list.....anybody else just add to it lets say deadline Monday night.
Paypal too captainbizzaro at aol dot com I don\'t mind issuing proof of ordering before you pay.

Silvers are both Nick Nock cars Stu. The back one is \'Flash\', the front one is \'Gus\'.
\'Flash\' was up for sale that day. We actually had \'Gus\' coachlined to match \'Flash\'...Me and t\'missus are a right pair of saddos eh?
So you had 2 identical fb\'s with red stripes!
I thought maybe it was some photo trickery.
Is Flash still around dave?
Cheers for work on my pic dave.
ta stu..
No, fraid \'Flash\' is presumed a casualty....He was B883 SEH ..Gone off the DVLA database by 2009. Never mind, he made the supreme sacrifice so that \'Gus\' might come to live with us.
Hope there\'s time left for the Revised Pic. Gone round the corner first thing this morning to check on youngest Daughter\'s Rabbit when I should have been rabbiting on here.
Thanks Dave-I can swap the pic of Stu\'s car no problem so all good! Email returned.

Hi Ian - thanks for the link to the \'other\' 2011 Calendar.I have looked at their latest edition and am trying to be as independant as possible. Yes, the american version is very professional (as would be expected from a group whom have previously printed 2 other calendars) and the pictures are sharp and clean lined yet, I feel there is something missing from them - not to sure what it is.Perhaps it is that I too am biased or maybe there is no seasonal adjustment but either way I feel we have the better issue - so I second you on this point.:mmmm

They haven\'t got that raw edge quality that we\'ve got....real life feel to our calendar. Helped enormously by people\'s late sucess in getting cracking reality shots in the snow and ice. Best of it is, that\'s how we are.

Nah - you wouldn\'t have enjoyed it Stu. Lots of skimpy dressed models with tanned flesh glistening with body oil, hot sun beating down on your brow, tongue dragging across the sand with camera shutter clattering away at 100mph.No you\'re better off with dirty finger nails, the rain bouncing back off the floor/earth soaking you legs, the wind blowing grit in your eyes and wearing wet weather gear.I know which one i would have chosen ...... :rollin:rollin

Quote from: myatt1972;732377Tim, you could send Ians and mine together if you wanted (dont think Ian would mind).
good idea!
Rei99 using the euro is gonna do well,since the £ plummeted against euro in recent years.
In 2007 1.45 euro to pound.
Now 1.19 euro to pound.
Well done capitano for organising.

Quote from: captainbizzaro;732263Davide, when they arrive here I\'ll take the package to the post office so I can get a true price so I don\'t ask you for too much-watch this space!
No worries Marc.:Santa
Sorry Captain, I\'m too excited to wait the 2011 :rollin

Haha no worries Davide....
Well the two that were ordered separately arrived by regular post, I guess the big batch must be coming by parcelforce so will be a day or so behind. Really pleased with the quality of them-good weight glossy paper etc so good times.

Looking good Tim
Does look really good Tim - perhaps Christmas will come twice this year?
ohooohhhooo!!!!! Good Stuff Tim.
Have they arrived yet Tim?
Evening all, been a bit off radar as we\'re doing a christmas holiday fire alarm in a school so silly hours. Anyway, this greeted me when I got home half hour ago....
(http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt79/captainbizzaro/3c69121e.jpg)
So will package them up over the weekend and get them on their merry way on Monday!
Cheers Tim, great job!

yeah, I had a car like that once!
I\'ve had more than enough cars like that! It turns out Nissan Primastars are horrendous in the snow.
So, all jiffyed up last night and got them to post office last thing tonight....

As long as there is not another load of postal service depleting snow they are promised for christmas.:Santa:Santa:Santa:Santa
Couple of things though-Paul (Ossie) I still don\'t have your address mate and Davide I\'ve got postal price will email you.
Well done Tim, now lets hope you can enjoy your xmas.

Paul:Thumbs-up
Cheers Tim,i got the calendar this morning!
ta stu..
Got mine when I got home...and can I say a huge thanks to Tim, firstly for taking on this task in the first place, and also for doing such a damn fine job :D
The calendar is nothing short of awesome, the layout is great, the quality is excellent, and if I may say so myself, what a great line up of cars that grace the pages :)
Thanks to all of you that took part, for taking and sending pics, and again, big big thanks to Tim - I really appreciate your hard work fella :)
Just like to wish everyone a good Christmas while I\'m here - won\'t be on much for a while, picking up my kids for the holidays :D :D :D
See you all in the new year...calendar firmly on the wall :D
Cheers Marc-twas a pleasure so glad you\'re happy.
Just for my peace of mind can everyone mark themselves as received on the list when they arrive.

Wooo got mine. Looks great Tim. Thank you so much!
Happy Christmas everyone!
Hmmmm,looking at calendar pics,my red fb is probably the worst pic on there,too much road & manhole cover,my fault,i\'m a poor photographer!
Quite right to put davides italian fb on front cover,best pic with the beautiful old historic italian buildings in the background.
A fb outside Asda would\'nt have the same effect!
Well done Capitano,well pleased.

We are still snowed in and have not had a postal delivery since last week, so in desperation (calendar needed as a surprise Christmas present for she who must be obeyed....) my sons and I fought our way down the drive and up the hill today and went hunting for our postman (in no. 1 son\'s Ford Focus with snow tyres....). Our luck was good and we soon found him and his van - no cat - delivering (on a ploughed and gritted road...) about a mile away. A quick chat and we came away with about 20 christmas cards, a play.com DVD present for a nephew, some contact lense for no. 1 son, a couple of bills and 2 calendars! Easy Peasy!
Thanks for everything Tim. Much appreciated.

Hi!
Well done...
Is possible to get two calenders sent to Sweden?
If, how much would it cost?
/Lars
Hi Lars,
2 x calendars were sent to Italy,CaptainBizzaro is in charge of this.
From memory when we ordered we got 50% off,i don\'t know if this deal is still available now,i paid £10 inc postage for mine,captain will let u know.
Stockholm,beautiful place,been there a few times,swedes are a bit nuts,all naked in a sauna,then jump into a freezing lake!Haha,good times.

Hi Lars, I\'ll see what I can do about getting a couple sent over too you. Like Stu said-our batch was made using a 50% off code but as we have had a fair few they might do the same for a few more. To give you an idea, the two that are going to Italy will cost £7.00 to post plus the cost of each calender but I will investigate getting more made first and go from there.
Merry Christmas all, glad you like them.:Santa
Davide-(Rei99) Did you get my email regarding total price?
Ops, I forgot. Sent now, check the email ;)
Thanks.
Received thanks Davide.
Thanks to you, sorry for delay ^___^"
Mine arrived Xmas Eve - what a fantastic time to arrive - great job Tim.
Happy New Year.
Cliff
Mine arrived too :cheers:p
The first page are a little dirty in both copy, but no problem :Party
Captain, how much I must pay for the copy+shippin in UK to Crissy?
Hi Davide, not sure how they both got soiled so apologies for that-price of calendar including delivery to English address is in an early post on this thread I can\'t remember off hand, something like £8.37.
