Autoshite: The Calendar 2012. Suggestions?

[worldofceri]

I don't know. I R probly rong.

[Louise2cv]

Mainly because it's an ambition of mine to be in every Autoshite calendar, but also because I loved this car, it was utterly shite and mindblowingly cool...

 

I'm going to be naughty and nominate a pic of me

 

 

 

Shame about the stupid cut away rear wings

 

And a not owned by:

gets my vote!

[worldofceri]

That Chevette should definitely be included.

[Craig the Princess]

This has all gone a bit quiet, is there anything I can do to make the calendar's happen, ideally I'd like to give some as Christmas presents so time is getting quite tight.

[Cavcraft]

If we can get 12 pictures sorted by Sunday I'll order the calendars this weekend. Peter has been brilliant organising pictures/quality but obviously as we hadn't selected 12 pictures his hands have been tied. He deserves our credit for what he's done.

 

Anyhow hopefully I can order them at the weekend, will let you know.

I fully agree that you and Peter deserve credit for what has been done. It wasn't a critism, just as things had gone quiet and I didn't know they could be sorted that quickly it was more an offer of help.

 

(Says more about me that if it was me trying to do it they would be ready in mid-April 2012 )

[Cavcraft]

No criticism taken me old teapot! Hopefully we can get organised this weekend and get em done. Last year the quality was a bit shite as had no idea how to make picture quality better. Do people want captions under each picture like last year by the way?

[trigger]

I like that Chevette one of Louise's but u fear that the quality of it is a bit low so it will end up looking a bit naff when printed.

 

I think you should just go for the ones as chosen by worldofceri above.

Sounds good (I wasn't here last year). If it's sweary I may need to censor one as Mrs the Princess wants to take one to work but I have a marker pen so it's all good!

[Cavcraft]

There wasn't (and won't be) any swearing. I think this year though we should not have Watanabe spread eagled over the bonnet of a C4 or Ashmicro outside McDonalds in his Nova.

[sporty-shite]

Not a full set of twelve, but maybe a couple to choose from!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Autoshite can do to the young and easily influenced!

[Pete-M]

No swearing other than every page having autoshite on.

[trigger]

Is Mark drinking Coke through a pipe there?!, I tried smoking a unrolled fag in my pipe, i was nearly sick.

 

The frontal photo of Billy's Cortina and Wat's 305 would look good in the calender as well.

[sporty-shite]

Yes. It was the coke/pipe pun that made me take the photo!

Notice how on the cover the Allegro's bonnet partially covers the word shite? Autoshite cares.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Okay, it's now December so we gotta get this moving.

[cms206]

I was entirely unaware that there was a vote ongoing as my head was up my arse; for that I apologise.

 

Sure it'll be as bloody awesome as this year's is, though!

[Cavcraft]

Top bombing Peter. How do I make the picture printable size please? Cheers.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I just need the biggest version you have, eg, straight out of the camera. If there isn't one, I can try and enlarge the little one but it will be a bit blurry/muddy.

[*]7: Len H's 2CV in Barn

5 Votes. I do not have a copy of this in printable size.

 

Is this big enough?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

That's not bad, thanks. About the minimum usable size.

[loserone]

Crikey, hadn't realised there was a vote on either.

Coalnotdole's Rebel 2 Votes (No specific picture)

The first one, of it being picked up behind the scimitar, or the last one, outside the greasy cafe. Either would be astounding, but it would be a shame to miss out /something/ from this thread.

[M'coli]

I hadn;'t realised there was a vote on either, nor how to vote (fuck me, don't let the current shower of cunts in government ever find out the secret of hiding this! ) but am glad the decisions have been made.

 

I have contacted Torsten regarding his Saab photo.

 

In the event that an Autoshiter wishes that their picture is not used in the calendar, is there a reserve list?

[dollywobbler]

I'm impressed that my Chumlee photo got 4 votes given that I wasn't even there! Either it was a Stondon or someone else's shot.

 

Quite surprised to top the voting. Wat's 604 shot was a much better contender I felt! I missed the voting thread as well.

I agree. We could replace whatever ends up being the lowest quality image with this beauty:

Good point, I'd best ask everyone who I haven't already been in contact with. CraigPrincess wanted his plates blanked out, if anyone else does best contact me now.

[M'coli]

Oh, by the way, where do I pay again?

[Minimad5]

Is it to late to add a picture or two ?

Might be crap, but thought i would share ....

 

[Pete-M]

 

"Dogging, the Autoshite way".

[eddyramrod]

Actually yeah, that deserves a place!
