Title: Do you want a 2013 Golf calendar?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 19 September 2012, 22:50
Basically, I have no Internet for over a month, so organising it is going to be a pain for me. I can do it but I want to know if it's going to be worth it or not.

Many of you will know what the quality of these are like and the process of selection for users cars to be featured, so with that in mind, vote and let me know!

Would be a shame to stop these as they are so popular and help out with the Charity. :afro:

Of course if you can't then you can't :sad: I myself won't be purchasing one as i have no need for it next year. :wink:

Pardon my dickheadishness but are there different mk calendars, or are they mixed mk's. And how do you get lucky enough to get a pic of your ride in one of these calendars.

Done done and done. Will there be a specific voting poll coming up soon then for each mk?
Title: Re: Do you want a 2013 Golf calendar?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 22 September 2012, 01:36
I still need to decide what I'm going to do as like I said, theirs a lot of work involved, I'm not really sure how I'd distribute it to someone else either though as it's a bit of a tricky thing to sort out.

I will await the final results before making up my mind on what I want to do.

Post by: MS1COYS on 22 September 2012, 09:26
Has everyone who is saying they want one, actually voted on the poll? I presume that Shady is going to make his final decision based on the numbers in the poll?

I've blanketed the forum with links to the poll, hope it pays off!

I managed to get in two years running, what photo of my mk6 to use this year.  :undecided: p.s the quality is great.

Shady... why don't you do just one calendar for the whole forum.. covering two of each mk in it? job done then... less design work and a better quality of entries as only the best two from each mk will make it in.. so it will have more kudos making it into the final calendar?
Title: Re: Do you want a 2013 Golf calendar?
Post by: Mr Blue on 22 September 2012, 13:19
Last thing I want is a mk3, mk4, mk5 and mk6 on my wall  :lipsrsealed:

Kind of agree with both of these comments. It would be nice if Shady didn't have such a big workload and as I understand it, delegation isn't a possibility. But at the same time a various mk calendar doesn't really work for me  :undecided: I bought a mk5 because I fell in love with them, so I'm not interested in staring at a mk3 or mk4 for two whole months....
Title: Re: Do you want a 2013 Golf calendar?
Post by: LowlifeDubber on 22 September 2012, 14:46
Is rather not look at ANOTHER mk2 on bbs either.Yawn.......
I guess I could skip a month or buy 2 calendars and make every month A mk1 or 3 month. :whi

forgive me for making such a silly suggestion... I thought this was GolfGTi forum and not Mk1 OC, Mk5GTi.dot.whateverthehellitis.. etc...

heaven forbid that you have to look at a different mk for a couple of months... you poor souls. i mean.. its not as though you get ideas for different modifications that way.

when I go to shows I ONLY look at one mk of Golf as I cannot stand to look at different models.. it really makes me shudder and does my head in.

instead.. just follow the sheep and keep looking at the same cars all the time, thats a great way to keep inspired  :smiley:

"Listen to something someone tells you. Now twist it into every horrible way possible. Congratulations!

Now you're a woman."  


Maybe some people don't need to look at other avenues for inspiration and are happy with one particular avenue. After all, aren't people entitled to their own opinion without being branded a 'sheep'.  :whistle:

So are we entering our own pictures for voting in each Mk section as in previous years?

Post by: Shady Pioneer on 22 September 2012, 18:54
Not sure what's happening just yet. But think I may end up just doing a single calendar with all MKs to make my life easier. Might not be to everyone's tastes but I can't really think of an easier way due to my timescale and what not. I know not everyone will want that but I can't please everyone.

So less than 40 pro votes. What's the lead to close ratio? Ie; 40 in favour, 30 purchases? O are there private sales on top of this.

I think another poll needs to be created to ascertain exactly who wants a calendar and then all those who commit, place a 50% deposit to Shady's PayPal account immediately.

Surely we can't let numbers dwindle like this  :grin:

2010 - 100+ sold.  2011 - 70+ sold.  2012- 60-70 sold.  2013 - potentially only 30 sales.

That ain't enough!  :smiley:

I'm in the same boat as a lot of others here in the sense that I don't know what's going on, if indeed anything is going on? I've got a friend is a pro-photographer and would love to get some decent shots together, but I'm not going to waste my time unless there's a guarantee that the calendar will go ahead....

My Internet kicks in on Friday next week. I will put together everything I need and will just run with it. If people like it, brilliant, if not, bummer. But I can't be fannying around as there's a short space of time for me to sort everything out now. I'll keep you all posted. :cool:
