the last one was sold from my house.this one will no doubt be maria's house.



i really dont think people realsie the costs involved in this to be honest.people were border line whinging about the price of the last one and look at the size of it.it seemed like most people wanted to pay fook all even though it was for charity,saying that the price of a proper calendar in the shops was similar for better

just for a start you have the printing costs,envelopes,stamps etc.

I think you have totally missed the point here!

Its a FUN calender to raise money for CANCER research.... not a 'professional' one!..

& i wouldnt class myself as 'rough' ta, just weathered lol!

Oh and btw... its gonna probably be cars only anyway.. so you can breathe a sigh of relief that you're not going to see us 'rough' birds anywhere near your wall

Yeah, printing aint cheap unfotunately

Can anyone give me an idea of what the last one cost and the specs please? ie....
Finished size?
was it 4 colour only?
Cover: thicker paper, varnish, 5 colour etc?
Paper gsm?
Was it 12 leaf one side or 6 leaf backed up?
And the total run?

PM if you like

Right guys, i know you are all eager to get this moving.

BUT i dont particularly have time right this split second.

SO what i will do is sit down, and collate all of your ideas, and get a selection of polls up for you, but this wont be until next week.

Once the polls have had the results then i shall start to crack on with it all.

I hope this is satisfactory, if not, i wont be offended at all if anyone else would like to take the bull by the horns and crack on with it themselves.

I completely agree. You wouldn't buy a Hollyoaks calendar and expect to see Dot Cotton and Noris Cole in it.

The forum cars though, I have a great deal of interest in looking at.
erm, chip, did you not see that race suit lee bought?

seriously tho, know what you mean and agree, would rather stay just cars

I think the calender should represent the people of passionford as much as the cars, and it should not be specific.

When I think of Matt and Sassy, I see the family unit.. them and the kids what would be so unreasonable about having a family pic with the cars, that's how they enjoy them and sometimes go to shows as a family

JB fletch should be an action shot going sideways as hes known for this, or at least dressed as the grim reaper standing over some rear axles

Maria and Lee should try to borrow the Reyland Sierra and deck it out as a wedding car, complete with just married on the back dragging empty can's of oil behind it, get race suits with a veil, better still get Martin dressed up as a bridesmaid with his car as well... its a fun way to show a romance which started because of the site and the cars.

Rod should have a picture taken driving past a 30mph sign or gatso for ironic amusement

That luke fella can do a skit from Shameless in his fezza

I think it should represent some of the characters on the site imho

That's actually a really good idea. Maybe not those exact examples but something along those lines would be cool

Trust you Leeroy to bring this up! i was hoping everyone had forgotten!

Ive been looking into this a fair bit over the past week or so.... and to be fair the initial cost is going to be quite a lot! and i cant see people paying for a calendar a) before they actually know whats going inside it, or b) before they know they are printed!

I think it would be a go idea to do I have had to relations past a away because of cancer and one in on the mend from having it so I would be interested in a calendar if you do go a head Maria and it should be just Fords as this is a Ford forum and may be the owner of the car.
