Autoshite: The Calendar 2012. Suggestions?

[dollywobbler]

Actually, making a bit more effort, how about this?

 

Or this

[Spottedlaurel]

Seth proposed this one as a calendar shot when I posted it earlier in the year:

 

1992 Toyota Camry 2.2GL Project Car (Pt 1) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

Thats a great one! The crunched front wing is an ace touch.

 

Some class photos here, will make an excellent calendar.

[trigger]

I'm sure i have others but this one spring to mind first.

 

Austin Maxi 1750 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

I think we have to include Wat's "brochure shot" of his new 460...

[Cavcraft]

Right oh, plain background (like the last one) or something abit fancier such as this...

?

Suppose the only 'problem' with the fancier one is that although the background looks pretty good (and is car related) it makes the subject picture smaller and might take the eye off it a bit?

Any thoughts?

 

*Edit: tried it, looked crap! Perhaps as we were last year is better?

[eddyramrod]

Plain. The PCVC 2012 calendar is on plain black, and the cars (including, modestly, a certain Miami Blue Granada) stand out really well.

It was suggested that my Lada ought to appear; here's my mate Pat the Tractor" standing next to the Lada! Perhaps a summer month, as the sun is shining?

I agree it should feature Autoshite contributor's cars. Put me down for a couple already. It's gonna be ace.

[TimothyClaypole]

The Kromer one but with the paw, looks better.

I'll have a couple, too! A reasonable price with any profits to a vehicle-related charity. Thoughts?

[Cavcraft]

Charity idea seems a corker. I reckon actual costs will be about £4.95 for the calendar and about £1.75-£2.00 for postage.

 

The Lada pic is brilliant but would humbly suggest the one from the original thread without your mate in view!

I want to throw votes at Barrett's Allegro and Bentley pic, Pete-M's Kromer Cat pic (the one Lufthansa posted), and Wat's brochure shot.

 

Also submit this summertime fun with the great dictator:

 

I got praise for my illuminated garage Herald shot in the photography thread, so I shot a new version:

[R9UKE]

This picture sums up Autoshite for me.

 

 

A few others I have....

Each month should feature increasingly blurry photos of the alternator in scooters' BX.

[Rusty Pelican]

My heap

 

[meggersdog]

Although I don't own it anymore may I suggest this

Or perhaps in typical Fiat fashion

[lovejoy]

Can I suggest, as no-one seems to have "spotted" that it's a CALENDER....

 

that almost anything full of holes would be most appropriate.................

 

(prefereably not with decapitated cats peeping thru,dekuli, Pete -Erm)

Just drifting ever so slightly o/t, who are the folks in the R4/Sud/Herald shot? Who owns the Sud? GR8 pic BTW.

Seth (i think), Mr H Sceptre, Electric Leyland, Barrett and Mr_Lobster, the Alfa (which was all kinds of awesomeness) belongs to The Liberator.

One thing i will point out, I'm not sure if all these photos will work as calenders are normally in landscape and many of these photos are in portrait they they won't fill the page right.

Mrs Trigger will kill me for this!

You are so dead!

 

I'm no so brave, so have one of my ugly mug.

Absolutely brilliant, certainly gets my vote!

Maybe in keeping with the spirit of the forum software the calendar should crop the last third off each image.
