Bit early for a 2010 calender isn't it?

Is the 2009 one already sorted?

We havent done a calander for years, so we are just giving outselves plenty of time to prepare for the 2010 one.

Trust me, these things take a lot longer to organise and collate than you imagineŹ

What about naked members (boom boom) with their cars in poses with things strategically covering their bits like that WI calender that caused a fuss.

ie:

helen with her saph
lorraine with her focus
me with the reyland escos


see what i mean?
i dont think it would be that bad, all you have to do is group the women with the nearest car to them

r5ford - highly unlikely.

there has to be some sort of 'twist' to the calendar rather than just cars!

JB - the only thing is dude, she has been banned from here..... and as a generic kind of rule last time, the girls as a group decided that only members who post on a regular basisi could partake.

BUT

we'll bear it in mind .......... just in case

For example, car doing a burn out, power slide, flaming exhaust etc etc

Didn't mean NO girlie pics, but some variety so it's not all the same theme throughout if you get my meaning.

I think I would prefer a calander of really good shots of the top cars off the site tbh. Not too bothered about there being girls in it really.

Maria, wasn't just thinking ladies. If you look in the body building section i think you will find plenty of chaps that like to show off their guns.

I'm sure Stu would be up for a shot of him in his birtday suit in a cossie with his det cans on and a laptop keeping him decent!

PS. do work in that BM garage opposite the mazda dealers?

I'm not gay or anything but why does it actually have to have girls on it? Is that not abit MAX POWER ish?

I'd much rather just have a calendar with 12 good looking cars along with a very brief spec of them in a box to the side of the main picture.

Keep it car pictures only.

Give each trader a page (Oh my god bring on the politics).

Split the cost by 12 and make the traders pay for it.

Leave the girls out of it.

E.g:

What about a group shot of say some Escort Cossies?

Franco (if its finished by then ), The Talented Mr Ripley, Damo V, Reyland Esc Cos, Mr Rainbird, Neil etc.... A Monté in each colour?

And yeah each month sponsored by a different trader?

Point well made IMO.

Fair play for resurrecting this idea though, especially after all the grief you got.

I would suggest maybe 6 static shots and 6 action shots, alternated?

There are some amazing action shots of cars like the Reyland EsCos, FMS EsCos etc....

Iconic cars too - not just some bloke off the board's average S2 RST.

I think the trader sposorship is a good idea, All traders interested put in a private bid to say maria, and the highest 12 go in
Sorted

Trader idea is a good one, and it being not static car pics is good too, so drifting and racetracks etc would be cool

+ 1 for that !!

I think the odd ladie thrown in for good measure every 1/4 is a good idea !!
