2017 818 Calendar Ordering Thread

[Taz Rules]

Hi all

My name is Taz, and over the past several years, I've done a calendar for the GTM owners featuring their own builds. Its become an annual tradition. I do it for essentially the cost of production and shipping, not for profit. (There's a story there, but its a long one and I won't bore you.)

Anyway, this year I have been given permission to do a calendar for each Factory Five model's ownership group. I'm curious if there is enough interest in the 818 community here. I'm attaching three images from previous GTM calendars so you can get an idea of what I'm doing....

Also, please feel free to ask your GTM bretheren on the forum whether or not they have been happy with previous calendars.

In order to start, the first thing I need is pics of your cars. 12 owners, 12 cars.

Lets, get them in, boys!

Requirements:
Minimum 3200 pixels wide, decent quality

Requests:
Car photo - multiple photos from different angles.
Engine bay photo
In the past on the GTM calendar, each month has featured an automotive quote. This can be your own "catch phrase" or saying, or a quote by someone famous. (Example: "Its not a throttle, its a detonator" - Jeremy Clarkson)

Information:
FFR chassis number
Engine type (and horsepower number if you like)
Owner Name
Owner location (city/state)
Does your car have a name?
anything else you want included (featured in magazine? special build features? unique stuff?)

Please send info and images via email to [email protected]

Ordering will be done on a different thread.

Love this idea, my pics will come soon

[Taz Rules]

Looking forward to it, Lumpyguy! Don't forget the info!

Need 11 more!

FYI, in the past, calendars have cost $25 shipped to the US (Europe adds a couple of bucks). I'll keep them at that price. This covers the cost of printing and postage. (As I said, I do this for reasons other than profit, which is good, since there is none! LOL)
Ideally they are finished, ordered and printed by the end of november, paid orders are shipped in the first week of december so they arrive by Christmas.

I sent you a Private email

I'd buy one, but definitely can be in it yet.

[Frank818]

If you do it next year too, I'll be in with pictures and would buy one (or more).

[Edgeman]

He also has put unfinished cars in so don't hesitate to send your photos in.

Yes I have...and had them look pretty good, too!


I don't mind build shots...these are cars we build, after all!

[Pearldrummer7]

Taz- just sent you an email with my car stuff. I'm in to buy one, too! This is awesome!

[RetroRacing]

OUr stuff on the way to you this week.

[Taz Rules]

Currently sitting on 3 submissions.

Not really enough to do a calendar, so I need 9 more guys who are proud of their ride to step up!

[Lumpyguy]

I think this is neat, it's a good way to show off our cars.

Hey Brian! I'll ask again, what are those rear side reflectors, or are they side markers?

[brian b 36]

they are rear lights out of a 97-01 crv
the mirrors are delsol the wheels are hydro dipped candy apple red carbon fiber

[Frank818]

Tnx Brian, I thought so, I had those in sight for a long time but went with Challenger's markers, wanted all the same in 4 corner but those CRVs look cleaner and are smaller. Good move since you don't need front markers.

[Lumpyguy]

I just sent you a bunch more pics, thanks

[Taz Rules]

Sitting on 6 818 submissions. Thank you.

That's enough, as I can do two months each if need be. But I'd love to get some more guys!

As an aside, the 65 Coupe is a go, with a similar response to the 818. Cobra calendar is already full with spares, and GTM has 3 open spaces.

I'm in!!!!! But I need to add a couple more parts to the car this weekend before I can get you the pics. Cars not 100% but it's darn close

[Taz Rules]

Look forward to it SoCal!

Still got 3 openings.......

[Pearldrummer7]

If we get down to just one opening and can't find someone else, we could throw FFR's prototype car up for a page. That said, I'd rather it be community members!

[RM1SepEx]

I'll take some photos tomorrow, I want to show the oak interior too...

[SoCalK61000]

Look forward to it SoCal!

Pm sent. Need a week for pics and on track pics

[Taz Rules]

[Wayne Presley]

[nkw8181]

UPDATES....

Over the past 3 days I have managed to get all the invoices out!!!!!! (Finally!)

If you placed an order, you should have an invoice in your inbox. (Thank you, btw, to those who have already paid so quickly!)

If you do not have an invoice, then I do not have your order. If you have ordered, but I missed it, or somehow you don't have an invoice, shoot me an email at [email protected] so I can get you sorted out.
I've had a couple of people say they've had problems with Paypal. If you have problems, you can try the Paypal help line at 1-877-569-1116 toll free, or you can contact me about an alternate payment arrangement. (A couple of people have mailed money orders)

ALSO>>>
VERY IMPORTANT


Check your invoice to make sure it is correct!!!! My fat fingers are not perfect, and I'd rather catch mistakes early! Pay special attention to the type of calendar (Coupe vs Roadster vs GTM, etc....caught one mistake I made there!) and also to the shipping address. I want everyone to be happy with what they get, and when they get it, so just go over your invoice before paying it so I can fix any flubs.

Calendars go to the printer on Monday, and should be shipping by the end of the week.

It's not too late to add your name to the list! Though the later we get, the less likely they will be there in time for Christmas.

Sample month:

[RM1SepEx]

I love the sample! It's my new wallpaper too

[Taz Rules]

Hey SoCal

Sent you a couple of PMs, I THINK I got your email, but I'm not 100% sure, so I want to confirm some info.

[bbjones121]

Can I get calendar?

[Taz Rules]

Can I get calendar?

PM on its way

[Coolspot]

Interested in buying one too

[Wayne Presley]

I got a preview of the calendar and he's doing an awesome job

[Bob_n_Cincy]

send me an invoice
Bob

[Pearldrummer7]

Looks great so far, Ash! When about should we expect these to show up?

Thanks for putting this together

[Taz Rules]

Coolspot.....sorry for the delay....
check your PM inbox

[Taz Rules]

Printer had a slight delay (!), but calendars should be shipping on Tuesday.

If you haven't paid your invoice yet, best hurry! Only paid orders will ship. There's still a couple of invoices sent that people haven't paid yet, so please check your inbox.

Also, the good news from this is that there's still time for a last-minute order, if you want one, but haven't sent your request to [email protected]yet.

[CU9DZ]

Hi Taz. I just sent you an email. Hopefully it's not too late to order. CU9DZ
