Exactly, also the main difference to me is, the cars in HMW on the calenders are NOT cars that interest me generally, but the cars of PF though are.

So to me, a PF cars calender is something id be more interested in, than any other calender.

Maria, please note the manner in which people want the girls in there, may not be quite the "appreciated from an artistic point of view" the girls themselves are thinking

I was going to say turn the calendar over hold it up to the light and you can view them from another angle.

After thinking about it though that just won't work will it?

I also think that the pictures should be vetted, so if you want to start the ball rolling with a nice tasteless topless shot, I'll give you my honest opinion .

*The only way this would be relevant is if they were the owner of the car and were stood next to their own car (along with the male owners by their cars as per normal magazine pictures):

your talking over a year away, you just know a good percentage of the nice cars on here putting names forward will have been broken by then

On a side note.....there are deffinately 12 nice cars on here I would buy a calendar for.....think we need a few /nomination threads/votes closer the time of publishing. (1) for nominating cars (2) users voting which cars to go in (3) for nominating birds (4) vote for birds in calendar.

Good idea though! Just hope the girls dont spoil the cars j/k dont kill me

Just had a thought regarding my auction idea for the traders (thats IF they want to do it!!)
How about they all privately put in money, as opposed to a bid, then the whole pot can go towards the charity?

My idea was to split the cost of printing equally between the 12 traders. It saves alot of hassle. If traders want to choose which month they will be on then they should be amongst the first to volunteer to sponsor it.

what about each month having a specific car, as in
Jan - Series 1's
Feb - Mk2 Escorts
March - Saph Cossies
April - Focus Rs's
May - Series 2's
June - RS 500's
July - Focus ST's
August - Escort Cossies
September - 3doors
October - Mk2 Xr2s
November - Mk1 Escorts
December - Fiesta St

maybe a few pics of each type of car with each month

Very good idea, and perhaps the fairest way to do it.

I was thinking if they were interested, basically all of the traders pay something (maybe have a minimum amount suggestion?) then the top 12 get in, dunno how many traders are on here, it would be a case of how generous they are prepared to be i guess.

I think there is probably space for two calendars to be made and sold. one with just cars and one with the girls and cars. I think the problem with the girls calendar like the previous one is "image". Now the girls obviously done the best they could, but they are not models and I am certainly not putting them down, but I dont know any of them personally so I dont have an incentive to buy it.

If it was 12 top cars then I could buy myself copy, buy my two young nephews a copy each, so that makes 3 sales and I presume other people are like this. How many blokes would be able to stick a calendar full of pictures of non celebrity women on the wall without the wife/girlfriend commenting or giving grief. I have a Keira Knightley calendar, but thats not an issue with the missus since I am obviously not going to get anywhere with Keira (bloody restraining orders) but a calendar of girls I met on a website would be a different story!

If its good cars like the Reyland Cos, with detailed pics, specs and times etc.. then I and many others would buy it. I bet the cars calendar would outsell the one with girls in it as people could buy it as gifts for others.

Good Luck

I'm genuinely surprised that people are wanting more cars and less girls, but if it'll sell more calendars then so be it.
Also depending on the cost the bigger the calendar the better, my only criticism of the last one was it was a tad small.
At the end of the day I'll buy one regardless but it would be nice to have some girls in it, somewhere.

Cars only IMO.

No offence birds, but I dont think there 12 mint enough birds on here whod wanna do it, considering the level of birds that you would normally get in a callender.

Certainly 12 really lovely Fords tho.

Two calendars would be a bit daft, may as well just do a car one and then do a nice girly (tasteful/sleazy-delete as applicable) picture set for screensavers etc. Keeping it purely electronic would keep the costs right down and prove popular in my opinion.
