The official MK5 Calendar Thread :)
« on: 11 September 2008, 15:45 »
Hello guys.

Continuing from another thread I figured we should perhaps create our own MK5 Calendar for 2009.
I know we are still a while from 2009 but the nothing wrong with going early and getting a really nice one.

So here is the task:

1. Post a picture that you love of your GTI. Basically give us your best shot. Please resize the pictures to a lower resolution or the thread will become really slow.

2. After the pic give us the full info the car so that if the pic is chosen we can include it in calender.

I dont mind doing this as I need something to keep me busy. And it fits in with the business I am currently running and own which deals with this sort of thing.

Photoshop is allowed. Purely because it can give images a really nice touch.

This thread will close at the end of November. We will choose the winners for each month by posting these pictures in the Chat Nonsense Section (Which gets the most attention other than the MK2 Section) and have a poll so the entire forum will be able to vote for the pics they like.

Once you have posted pics you may post more if you take some others or find another one you like.

Lets see what everyone has. And dont forget that today us 9/11 so remember those that passed away.

Mike

Here is my small contribution to the world of GTi photography  :evil:

This was taken after the car had its first wash. Was a lovely evening too.





Yes... The days before I learnt what resizing was...  :embarassed:
