I'm in the process of putting together the 2005 calendar. Here a few questions for you guys: a) How many would you like to order? b) Would you like to have your name included in the legend for your car's picture? If so, real name or FChat screename or some other nickname? c) Last call for anybody who wants his car's picture included. Most of you have submitted a picture or I had one already. So if you feel left out, send me a PM/email or post here.
Hey Andreas, Did you get the full picture of my car and the F4 ?? I dont remember if i sent it to you or not. Also, are you going to post a preliminary layout, like you did last year with all the pictures???? I would like June... You can use my real name too. Hey , that page in this months FOC newsletter for our LSD drive would be a good collage of pictures to use for a month in the calendar... You can put me down for 4 calendars.... Tod
I got your Phantom picture and it will be used together with another one for that month. But it'll look kewl, trust me. I'm keeping this one a little secretive, at least for now because I want to keep my options open for what goes where. We are also going to have an ad in the next edition of Pilota and I'll see what the response to that is. After that, the design will be finalized and I'll show you guys what we got. The months are tied loosely to the events depicted. Some of the pics about the LSD trip in Pilota will be used in the cal as a collage. You're right on the money there.
Here is the current lineup of folks and cars: - Erik's 330 on the German Autobahn - Frank's, Skip's, Dave's and my 308 as a montage - Daryl Adam's 246 in Monterey - Jack's 328 at Wrigley Field - Mike's 360 in WI - Bill's 365 at Oak Street - Rocketboy's 575 at Veteran's Hospital - Tony's 355 at the Planetarium - Tod's 328 with the Phantom - Aerial shot of various Ferraris including Chasking's Biturbo - The Schulz's in their 328 at Monroe Street - Dave's BBi with the leaning tower of Pisa - Norbert's 308 and 166mm on their way to Monterey To recap, the types represented: 166MM 330 365 2+2 246 GTS 512BBi 308 GTB 308 GTSi 308 GTS QV 328 GTS 355 Spider 360 Modena Spider 575 Maranello Maserati Biturbo Please correct me if I got some names/types/data wrong.
When will this calendar debut? I'll be down for one but I want to change the photo. I like the 575 pic from Hooters but the pimped out minivan is too much. Any good photoshop peoples in here? I will have to wait and see how the pics Dave B took turned out the other day. That was a great location, good idea Frank and Dave. RocketBoy
You sure you want just one calendar? These things make great gifts for X-mas etc. Besides: Your car has an entire month to itself. Also I'd like to keep the picture I got as it is from Chelle's Veterans Hospital event. Part of this year's calendar is also to show the events we had in our region over the year. That particular shot has also a reflection of Skip's roller in your window. Also it kinda juxta positions itself with Erik's 330 on the German Autobahn in the sixties, which is another 12 cylinder Ferrari depicting the dashboard etc.
Good decision. The price will be somewhere between 15 and 20 dollars a piece. It all depends on how many orders we get together, which is why encourage everybody to buy a few of these.
That's very kind of you, especially since your cars are not in it. But rest assured the legend will mention the Veteran's hospital event. On an almost related note: I was struggling whether to add one page just with replica cars, since by now we have about 4 of them in the hood. Of course I'm no purist, but I didn't want to offend anybody, so none for this time. Maybe next year we'll get them somewhere into the background of a picture. Your GTO after all has already made it into a picture of Pilota, hehe.
Well I want to make sure I get a couple for Haley as the VA show was her first ever attempt at organizing an event of any kind And I want to support the group as well.. All the replica's and other italians in a collage or something might be neat someday as well.. that way we see the everyone's other toys.. the Lambo's, Chuck's Maserati, etc.. but since we primarily are gathering for the friendship around the Ferrari's maybe pics of non Ferrari are like added on at the end, not hoarding a month... hmm, or here ya go - have a picture of all the replica's be just for April first... then the 2nd through 30th get's a real Ferrari Chelle
The way the calendar is organized is, that each month has one picture plus one front picture for a total of 13 shots. To stretch it further on some months I create composite shots otherwise we end up with a 308 calendar.
Check out what Las Vegas people are doing for a calendar... I may want some of thiers... http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28033
I hear ya. Did you notice that the white 308 has the same wheels as I have? I said, did you look at the wheels? No, the wheels Tod, the wheels.
Great news: I got already enough orders to lower the price to ten bucks a piece (plus shipping if you can't make it to the X-Mas party on December 4). So: If you guys want to increase your order based on that price, let me know! BTW pricewise it matters no longer to get additional orders, we got the bottom price at this moment. Size of the calendar will be 11" wide by 17" heigh when opened. I picked a better and somewhat smaller paper than last year, where the calendars started to flex a bit.
