FS: Club VR4 2005 Calendar

[Spirit]

Thats right ! There is going to be a Club VR4 2005 Calendar :-b

The calendar will be A3 (297mm x 420mm) size and will feature a picture of a full member's car on each month of the year. The full members will be voting on which cars make the calendar in the next few weeks....so yet another reason to join up if you want to get your car in with a chance ;)

Anyhow, there is an example below of the layout of the calendar and these will be on sale at £14.99 (£15.99 if paying by Paypal) as long as we get 50 orders - if not they will be £17.99 (£18.99 by Paypal).

Please post here if you would like to order one of these - there will be a deadline for orders sometime around the 20th of November to ensure delivery by Xmas.

Pete,

A couple of points come to mind.

1] I am guessing that the printers want a fairly large resolution photo to work with .... 240 dpi +. Otherwise they may look cra*.

2] Given the above, members may need to take new high res photos and send them to you?

3] Could I suggest that if you (or members) send me a copy of the photo they want to put forward I could do a (Photoshop) montage of a load of cars for one or two of the months. This will allow more members cars to be featured otherwise it will just be 12.

Yes Please - Also where do I vote?

In reply:

1: Yes the higher the resolution the better - one would hope that the members votes will consider the quality of the images/location/artistic flare rather than the persons list of mods etc - considering this is a calendar and should be pleasing to the eye

2: I hope they do, it would probably be in their best interest to have pics people may not have seen before ?

3: Sounds a good idea - maybe this could be penciled in for December's photo ;)

[Spirit]

Yes Please - Also where do I vote?

A thread has been started in the members area regarding entering your car and the voting process (which starts on 8th November)

Somebody put your name down as a definate, but thought would wait for you to confirm upon your return ;)

Yes mate - see the rules in the members forum - all Galants/Legnums are welcome not just VR4's, and any FULL member is welcome to submit an entry

[Spirit]

Surely there must be more interest than this for such a work of art ?

[enigma]

Had a similar problem selling a calendar this year at the swimming club. Seemed like a good idea at the time...............

Hunks in Trunks

but after personally buying a colour laser printer and printing 100+ copies very few were actually sold.

Wanadoo are offering custom calendars for £15 at the moment, then you can have whatever photos you want. Perhaps we should get a huge repository of photos and let people choose their own???? I know its a bit more effort, but you may get more interest if people can gaurantee their car will be featured!

[Spirit]

It is a shame and I take your point Dave. Would be a shame if we had to go down that route though as people may as well just make their own calendars online and then they are not a Club item. I agree it would be nice to guarantee your own car would be in it but thats not feesible hence why I thought the voting system was the fairest way.

Let the people decide..........wanna make your own calendars - no skin off my nose so to speak and don't mind either way (less work for me :-b )

[Lurch]

Any bikini clad women posing ? ;)

Ask Interlec - his bonnet has seen some action in that department :-D

[Lurch]

Hope he had a chip guard installed ;)

[Big Ian]

would it cost more to have 2 car's on each month's picture? then maybe ther's more of a chance of getting most member's car's on it.

[The Vee]

Does it really matter who's car is in it as long as it's a good pic. OK I'd like mine to be there but if it's not then what the hell? Still a nice calender (with all sorts of Galants/Legnums), still useful and SUPPORTS YOUR CLUB. Come on get your names down !!

Here, here! My thoughts precisely. :)

How many takers did we need for this, Pete? If we're struggling to fill one last berth then I'd be more than happy with two of them.....my brother is a fan of VR4's too, so I can always buy one for him.

[HJM]

Totally agree - we want a CVR4 Club Calendar :-b

And we're not even going to enter any photos of our car :lipsrseal

Oh yeah, we'll have two, as well :-D

[Spirit]

Well the higher price is guaranteed as a maximum, to get the price down to £14.99 (£15.99 by Paypal then we need 50 orders ;)

[Spirit]

And we're not even going to enter any photos of our car :lipsrseal


Why not guys ? :sad3:

[HJM]

The car is too dirty and the weather too wet to get any decent shots :)

If it's sunny this weekend, I might be able to kick him in to giving it a proper wash :laugh:

[SGHOM]

My high res pics will be winging there way to you, ASAP !!

Only problem at the moment is I have my original 16" wheels on !! :lipsrseal
I sort of "damaged" my tyres last weekend. :$

I'm due to get them fitted on 4th Nov, & then I'm straight down to 'ROM' building the day after, for some tricky shots of the car !!
It's a disused, huge, derelict building, in the process of being refurbished, & will make a great backdrop for photo's. :-b

Myself & Dave are hoping to get a professional photographer to take some pics of our cars, before we remove the graphics. I only wish we had more hours in a day !! :rolleyes5 :rolleyes5

[Spirit]

Any more orders for the calendar ???

[enigma]

You know I will have a couple :p

[Big Ian]

:D i took some real-good one's on sunday,with my new digi cam...got home and looked through them with my daughter....i went to bin one of the photos..and.....ehh!!.......ohh sh!t!!.....ohh well......i did say it was new?... :rolleyes5 :sad3:
:rolleyes: i'll take them again (now i know how to work it)

[Spirit]

Sorry to hear that Ian.....what a bummer :sad3:

First entrants pics were received today from Andy (The Vee) - just 5 days to go peeps to get them in.....see HERE (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5760) for more info !

[triplexke]

You got me convinced! Write me down for one!

[Spirit]

You got me convinced! Write me down for one!

Have done so mate, but suggest you get a Paypal account sorted out now or you will have a hefty bank transfer bill again !

[triplexke]

found a mate willing to pay through his paypal account ;) If you get me all the specifics this week then i an already sort it out (give me the maximum price if you havent got prices figured out yet, if the calender would go any cheaper than that later on, you just send me some stickers or something like that for the money) Need to know it this week, as i don't want to bother him to much with that kind of stuff :-D (he's paying my side repeaters and supsension with his paypal btw ;) )

[Spirit]

Well it looks like it's going to be £18.99 as we won't reach 50 orders, and if it's ok please add another £1 for extra postage to you. Therefore please pay £19.99 by Paypal to pete@clubvr4.co.uk please and make sure you clearly state it's for a calendar. Anyone else wishing to pay now thats also fine too - £18.99 by Paypal for UK delivery.

[NevGroom]
