Right just sticking a post up to see how many people would be interested??
Knightriders propersition is a calender with "standing members" of golfgti - I.E. no people who do not post often/not very regular to the site.
12 months, 1 car each month, maybe a members mug, a little box of mods and general car info. All entries will be whittled down to 12 cars then months picked at random for each car.
I would be willing to run it, if someone has contacts to make the calender on the cheap and then retail it at shows and within the club as an extra bit of merchandise maybe??
All thoughts welcomed. :smiley:
-
can help with lots of printing things but calendars i think we may need some help here......
will have to have catagories drawn up as to what you want your car entered into...
mk1
mk2
mk3
mk4
mk5
i think take the best pics u can, and post em up here for a kinda vote...??? leave it up for 3-4 weeks and see how it goes, once down to fianl 12 easy, but if no printing available how about the screeensaver/calendar idea jv suggested?? i do get bored of lookin at this mk1 rocco storm... a change once a month would be good if the printing thing didnt come to light
:smiley:
-
i would be up for buying a calender! well buying one and a nolverty item wayhey a mug for my house at uni that awesome  :grin:
-
yeah the d/l sounds good aswell if printing turned out to be a problem.
If you really wanted to push the boat out you could have a mk specific calender, although i think a mix would be better. Maybe even some group ones I.E. all mk2 lined up together, then all models of mks, but we shall see.
I can work some magic on pictures if they need a bit of playing with, but other than that i think gaz is onto a winner.  :cool:
-
i am up for the printed idea if we can get it done very cheaply but i think it will be another one of those things where the money gets paid up front and it then takes forever to sell the things. in fact, with a time dependent product like this, that could get tricky  :undecided:
(off topic alert: mk1 rocco storm - see the mint one with the bahn brenner charger got wacked into?  :cry: )
-
welll we do have a rather superb place for pics round here... not that peeps would wanna travel for a photo shoot... but im sure some of us easterners can drum you lot up a few nice pics to add to the calendar spread....but wether they would get chosen would be another matter...
as for timing... gotta be right for calendars.. most sold in oct/nov/dec then the cheapskates buy them in jan/feb......... so hmmmmmm
:undecided: :undecided:
id be prepared to spend £10-15 for the right calendar... something that looks cool on your wall like... better than the dolphins job ive been lookin at this year... :rolleyes: (not dolphins noses either :evil:)

www.cafepress.com :smiley:
-
aye, maybe we are cutting it a bit fine here then to get a calender out.
Perhaps if we got a load of pictures sent to an account, then i will knock out a few wallpapers although i will need some webspace to save them too full size.
Members Cars, Members cars and women (be them random or people they know), members cars and men (for the female viewers)
if we can get that ticking over for the best part of a year then it gives people a bit of variety and might whet appetites for a calender to be started on during show season next year??  :smiley:
-
erm...and women? wot about men... :rolleyes:
Dinx :kiss:
-
yup a printed 2007 calendar to flog at show/online tis good...
see how the online thing will go... well id better get old lard @rse washed and dropped some more and some piccies taken on thursday at a disused airfield.....
not that she'll get voted cause theres some fine ones out there
:laugh: :laugh:
-
erm...and women? wot about men... :rolleyes:
Dinx :kiss:
Read it again ya bloody geordy mare :wink: :laugh: :laugh:
-
probably not too late if you could collate all the pics in 4 weeks, pushed perhaps?
$14.99 at cafepress + anything you want to make the site profit. Bargain I think!

Right here is the deal, I have an e-mail account ready to roll, so... send your pictures of your cars to AlexDCooper@gmail.com i will start making an archive and then begin shopping some stuff together.
Cars accepted - All varieties of VAG group. (so dubby get your camera out) - sorry for the narrow range but it is a VW site afterall. Pictures of suitable women/men you want on a picture with a car then please let me know in the e-mail and i will try to incorporate it.
:cool: :cool:
I personally think 4 weeks is bit of a push to get a entire calender up and out as it will look like a complete rush job, best to get everything planned then get some new shots in summer for a fresh 2007 calender as gaz says.  :cool: :cool:
-
alex, what prgrams u using? photoshop, freehand? or illustrator? im running photoshop cs, and freehand mx atm, so could poss give you a hand?
-
Photoshop cs2. :cool:
Aye sounds like a plan han. :smiley:
-
just photoshp.... no design program too.... wouldn't do a calendar in just photoshop really... is only good for images, can do proper text ayouts quick and easily... but i can always convert the layout into a .psd for ya to insert images in photoshop?!?
-
Nah everything i need is in cs2. Can knock a picture, txt and everything up in a about 15mins.
-
thats against my religion....:(
-
Can we have a picture of my shoes as a joke :laugh:
-
all that computer stuff.....*whoosh* right over my head :undecided:

i sent some photos to the e-mail address :smiley:
-
eager beaver fielder!!
-
eager beaver fielder!!
Im always Eager for beaver Han :wink: :grin:
-
I'll send some alonng some time soon, just have to polish the car first :wink:
How long do we have to get the photos in?
-
lol fielder... :wink:
get pics in a.s.a.p please! the sooner the better, need to get cracking!!!
-
I live just 5 mins away from some great places to take photos and im fairly handy with a camera, If anybody is local to london i dont mind giving them a hand taking there photos.
-
I got yours fielder. Toofunkys aswell.
There is no date for these to be in as i think we are giving the whole calender idea a bit of a miss at the moment as it would be silly to try and get everyone to rush things in and then the calender to look like a mess. So the plan is that we will get cars sent to the e-mail address over on other page and then i will start making some backrounds along with han, various themes and things then they will be hosted for you to pic and choose from, for your own pc.
The calender will probably go ahead for 2007, then we can get fresh photos over the summer at all the car shows and start to put together a really good package. :cool:
-
Good idea. I'm liking the enthusiasm here so hope it comes to fruition. :grin: Dont bother waiting for a photo of mine as I never take photos cos I'm a lazy tw*t. :smiley:
-
we will prob have pics from phil when he's settled in guernsey.... and has tinternet

Perhaps all the people in aberystwyth would like to meet up for a photo shoot, i know theres a few of us??
-
Everyone is welcome in the backround stakes, its the calender when i will be getting more selective. :cool:
Errr i am around the midlands more north midlands but my car is buggered at the mo so won't be going anywhere for a while. :cry:
-
shouldn't we sticky this topic so we don't lose it in the depths of the fourm
-
I think the non golfs but red dubs should have pride of place tbh
I think you'll find dubby will agree wi me so that means we right :evil:
-
nah....put my shoes in it as a laugh
-
iam a bit confused.. is there going to be a calander of just mk1's then mk2's etc, or is it one calander with a mixture??? :huh:
-
At the moment its going to be a mixture, but if there is enough demand i will see how much it will cost to do one of each specific mk.
-
just got back in from fookin about with wheels/spacers/coil overs... got the look im after now but have an occasional rubbing issue....new skinnier tyres are needed to be stretched on rims i thinks.. :cool:
got about 6 pics if just taken ill send you em slick very shortly...
:evil: :evil:
-
how many cars to a month?? or will it be one month one car??? sorry about the Q's lol :smiley:
-
will try and do 2-3 a month as backrounds. :cool:
-
cool, was gonna go out and take some pics today, but the weathers sh!tty and i had to stay in and wait for the plumber to look at the boiler and he is only just left waaaa
-
yeah il get some pics in to you soon slick, want to get some more done to it first so if theres no rush il leave it for a bit. Maybe a few of the black mafia mk3 woners could get pics in an have a month to themselves!?!
-
Just spotted this thread - Sounds like a good idea, chaps. I'm sure we can muster some support in the mk4 section eh Gaz? I'll need to take some decent piccies.
-
I only just seen this thread too, i must be blind :undecided:
Just sent you some pics slick, if thats ok
-

I emailed my picture a while ago...
-
yeah its being put together, will throw a few testers up in the next week
:smiley:
-

-
umm, whens the deadline for this an whas the ol qualification on selection?
-
no deadline, qualification..... that you have a VAG group car.

-
whats the score with the calendar, is it still carrying on or what???? :huh:, seems to have come to a halt...
-
yeah its a shame that aint it! are we still havin one!?! Is it too late to get pics in for it?
-
Have dropped it personally till after show season, then going to compile something and see if people want it sent to the printers, or kept as html downloads.
-
cool, thanks alex. Il send u a couple of snaps of mine when its all cleaned up and hopefully has its new grill on if thats ok. html downloads seem like a good idea but if they were goin to be printed id have one anyway!
