As I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of high quality shots of the Tuscan Challenge series this year, I was thinking of doing a calendar. It would be 1 or 2 dramatic images of varying cars per page as an A3 size(I would make sure that most, if not all, the cars are featured). A rough cost per calendar is £15 plus P&P

I could also offer the same format calendar with your personal or company name on each page but this would require a minimum quantity order which, I think, is around 25-30.


I thought I would post this to see what interest there is. If you have any ideas or questions let me know. I can only do this if there is a big enough response and it is getting a bit close to Christmas to sort it.

Here are a couple of samples:

Landscape format with 2 images per month means more shots showing more cars




Portrait format with 1 image per page which means only 12 cars or some shots with groups of cars

Thanks everyone for the excellent responsesmile I think judging by the several and few, it adds up to the minimum 25 to go ahead. I've spoken to the printer and they can do the design as I want it. I agree that the portrait/single pic looks better BUT I would like to get as many shots in the calendar as poss so that everyone has their car featured so, I'm gonna go for the landscape 2 per page option. There will be action shots in the line-up too. Hope you'll still have a copy Leigh?

What I really need now is a precise quantity required by everyone that has said, a few and several.


As its going to take 15 days turnaround for proofs, printing and post. The closing date for this will have to be 7.00pm Tuesday 20th Nov. Please email me the exact number of calendars you would like and I will reply with an acknowledgement. I must have a minimum of 25 orders so, be generous to your friends, family, work colleagues and pets, oh, and don't forget your bank manager, you may need his help next seasonwink My email is on my profile next to name.

I know its short notice but I only thought of the idea a couple of days ago and had to check it was possible before posting on PH.

Thanks for the interest everyone. I have worked hard on this and thought you'd like to see the front cover. I have put the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners of the series on the front and have included 24 different cars in the calendar pages.

Just thought I'd add that there's still a few days left to order.

Hi Tracey

I have been promised that all the calendars will arrive tomorrow. Once I get them I will be packing and checking postage cost, I will then contact everyone with the total price inc' P&P and vat.

Ummm, I have you down for 3


I'd like to thank everyone for their orders, final total is 80 biggrin Pretty good considering the time constraints. The delay was getting the proofs, due to Royal Mailrolleyes
