For anyone who did or did not see the thread I posted asking about the RPR calendar, I wanted to revive it and give us all a chance to have one again. Now I didn't even realize until recently that for 2011 it is waaaay too late, but here is my thought/idea. What if we did a 1/2 of 2011 and all of 2012 calendar? Basically it would go from June or July of this year all the way through December of 2012. We would have a much longer calendar, much "cooler" if you ask me, and more people's cars could be included. The price would probably suffer a bit this route, but I can't imagine by much. I'm going to go around to a few places today to ask them about pricing, and I will report my findings.

Even if we decided to not go this route, I am still willing to take the torch and make just a 2012 unit that looks even half as good as our amazing 2010 one. This gives anyone interested a few months to gather some photos of their ride and we'll talk about submiting them to me. If there is enough interest for a 18 month unit (and enough photos) we will go that route, if there is less interest or if money becomes a factor, then we can go the 12 month route but go ahead and get the ball rolling.

We will have voting for the photos that should be included, and voting for the order in which the photos should appear.

This IS just a feeler for now, so if you are interested I NEED you to respond to this thread and say whats on your mind. I need to know how much interest we are talking here. And just an FYI, I am NOT interested in making any money off of this, so the prices will be per unit and shipping to your door, not a penny more.

Lets get another great RPR calendar to enjoy all year long!!

I would really love to see the calendars continue, maybe not every year, but regularly to keep the idea alive. It is nice to see good looking cars each month and all year. I think it it gives me inspiration to keep after my build project.

[Old School REX]

Just a little bump to see who would be interested. I found out today there is NO minimum number allowed, so if only 5 of you wanted one we could do that. lol Even though obviously we would need more that 5 pictures submitted. lol

Also found out that we can get a great wall size with full glossy photo quality paper calendar made for around $25.00 Just to throw that out there.


Just think about it guys, you have until this summer basically to get your projects photo ready and get some great snaps in of it this spring. I think there are plenty of cars that are finished now or have had enough changes made to them on the board that would make a GREAT calendar. Think Ballade's new car, OG's latest project on his 1G, ArenD has a schweeet pocket rocket, Lymitliss has been wrenching, even Kaka has made some changes. Thats just to name a few!!

I have the first two, and I'll take whatever comes this time. Can contribute pictures again as well

[OG Wagon]

Cam, great idea!

The wagon lost out by one vote last year, so I'm looking forward to another shot

I'm in, regardless.

You forgot to add your sweet-daddy CRX to the list!

Cam,

Hey buddy, it's been awhile. We are gonna have to meet up sometime soon in between these darn snowstorms. I would definitely be in for a calendar whether it be a cheapo one printed on toilet paper or the HD Blu Ray photo quality paper version with exclusive RPR 3D glasses!!! Hmm...now theres an idea..... Definitely in for one though buddy, regardless of the quality.

Sounds great to me . I would like to get two or three of them . Where do we send pics of the rides?

[Old School REX]

I have to see if there is any interest first. We're talking high quality photos though here guys. Take your time and get a few of your FAVORITE photos of your ride. I'll set up an email account soon to collect photos. If some of you want to go ahead and start sending photos I'll already have them for when the interest comes up enough. You don't have to have show cars to submit your photos though guys. Some of the best looking cars on RPR haven't seen a paint booth since 1985.

We will start with low resolution images to speed up the process of me getting them up here to start voting on which ones to use. Then I'll need the high resolution versions later.

Any car could be worthy my friend. Its up to the community to decide. When I open up the email for the submissions, I expect to see yours in my inbox.
