Thank you to Neil and Robin for your efforts once again.


Don't like it = Don't buy it. Simple as that really. :happy2:

As above.

Sales figures as always will tell you if people like it!

Plus those photos mean different things to different people - some people love wheels, lowered or whatever.

If it helps the forum put me down for two!

Well done to those members who put the time and effort in. :notworthy:

....Thanks, your encouragement is very much appreciated  :drinking:

I'll post a link for calendar orders once Neil has started that thread.

Trying to support the very differing loves of forum members for their cars is exactly what we have attempted to represent in our choice of fine photographs and snapshots.

I think you cannot win on this, yes sometimes they are not the best quality pics but then again they capture atmosphere, this year we seem to have had less submissions so the choice is even harder

other years there have been votes on this and quite frankly that had very little to do with the quality of pics or cars included

end of the day Robin does this for the love of the forum, whilst we don't always agree with the choices we should respect that and he is old enough and cantankerous enough to take it on one of his chins  :happy2:

...."had very little to do with the quality of pics or cars included" is exactly why I have not wanted to be involved if choices were down to public voting - Then it really might be ALL 'snapshot-tastic' and furthermore photos which reproduced poorly in print.

I must go and look in the mirror - I didn't notice more than one chin when I last looked!  :laugh:

.
As richwig has now decided to withdraw his previously given permission to allow his photograph of Thor's car (submitted by Thor and then selected), we have made another selection.

This is the withdrawn photo....



And this is our substitute photo submitted by jonm....



I make no secret of the fact that unfortunately I find richwig's behaviour in this matter to be selfish and petty, even spiteful and not at all helpful to the forum producing a calendar which will donate its proceeds to the forum itself.

I expect that having submitted the photo of his car, Thor will be disappointed but I have no doubt that he won't lose any sleep over it as I know him to have a broad perspective on life. Still, richwig clearly didn't think to discuss his intentions with him first.

....So you realised how you had behaved and had a change of heart. What changed your mind? Or should I say who?

The result of your behaviour is that we now have to lose a photo.

Yeah got to agree with the above... Don't think it's the place to argue.. People aren't going to take sides to back anyone up...

Do as you pwease Robin. I messaged chris this morning and told him that the photo could be used. I realised that I would be pissing off the wrong person if i wasn't to allow it.

You rubbed me up the wrong way last night so toys were thrown out of the pram.... I have since collected nearly all of them.  :happy2:
