I really dont see the need for them at all.

I dont come on PF for ladies, I come on here for cars, so why would I want ladies on a PF calender?


Surely the calender should reflect a little something about the forum, which other than a couple of people chatting each other up in the muppet room has nothing to do with birds or what they look like AT ALL.

I know you're blonde, but I can EASILY think of twelve cars off this forum that would be good enough .

In fact, I bet you could do it so that you had the 12 best RSTs, the 12 best Escort Cosworths and the 12 best 3drs (I'd probably struggle with Sapphires ), so that people could pick the calender that interested them the most .

Agreed.

I am sure lots of people on here have some awesome pictures of their cars in the snow! Each picture should relate to the season. I'm sure it can't be hard to get the pictures in time for 2010

So basically you dont care if it is what people want, and you dont care if its in the spirit of the site, you just all want to get your skimpy costumes and attention whore it up a bit?

And then you complain when people comment on how the girls look

what about 3 pictures per page, one large on and 2 smaller ones, of 3 different cars, so there is a 3 door an escos a saph and a rst etc on at least every other page, so if you are into rst's there are at least half a dozen on there etc?

Seasonal related action shots or poses sound a good plan to

Im sure there is some demand for it, so maybe do two calenders then?

Girls of PF
Cars of PF


If you do, put me down for a cars one, I'll buy one

There are female members of this site too ya know that may want their cars or them to be involved!

This will be a generic calendar for everyone, and no chip, we're not doing two calendars.

At the end of the day if the general feeling is that the majority dont want the girls to be in it at all, then so be it!

I know there are female members of PF, just like there are male members of PF, what I cant understand is the need for the girls to be in the calender and not the blokes?

If its a "people of PF and their cars" calender, thats fine by me, quite happy to have martins ugly mug next to his escort or whatever, but I dont see why it needs to be only the girls doing it if it goes that way?

Personally after laughing at the last calender - honest truth...

Car action shots are defo the best option rather than a static show with birds off here bent over them....

Sorry if anyone finds that offensive but the last calender was just hilarious....

Unless there getting naked then i'll shut the fuck up.... hey mike - u bent over peggie LOL

You could put it to a vote maria - Cars, Or Girls.

I'd be happy with either personally, sales will be better with some ladies at least IMHO.

I'm just gonna keep flying ideas in here as & when i come up with them

It would be nice to get the mebers more involved in this one, so it is a little more personal i think?

Indeed, to me maria or helen or sassy are just my mates, to me I dont care that they are birds or not, they are just other petrol heads I enjoy talking to. Im not going to knock one out over them in an outfit, and I dont care what they look like any more than I care what Lee or Dave or Matt look like. So I dont want pictures of them on the wall.

The forum cars though, I have a great deal of interest in looking at.

I know this would be a bit of a task to say the least, but how about, vote for which style: cars vs girls, then vote for cars to go in, then traders auction for the sponsorship pages, then vote for the best designs. It will never, ever please 100% of the people, but if if there are public votes at all of the big stages, you *should* end up with a bloody good product that keeps most happy, and more importantly, SELLS!!

EDIT to say: this is blowing the cobwebs right out, I used to be in graphic design and print production

Should never have left

The thing is, I think you are mising the point a bit maria.

There are 3 main opinions on the birds being in there as I see it from reading this thread:

1) Those people who see no value in them being there and think it detracts from PF

2) Those people who want the girls to be in the pictures tastefully

3) Those people who want shots of the birds naked, with things stuffed up them



As far as I can see from this thread so far, most people want either 1 or 3.

Personally I would want type 1 only, but from a marketting point of view, 3 would probably raise the most money, lol

Like i said Chip, though it would be a mission, i think these should be put to a vote at certain stages of the production to ascertain the main feeling of how it should be done
