Hi Peeps..I thought i would try to set the theme for next years calendar now so that it gives you plenty of time to get snapping..I would like to get people in who havent been in one yet..Now i know the weather has been shyte so im thinking maybe an art theme..Could be something like Andy's 1st production 350i in front of a piece of graffiti..No tagging or stupid names please..A banksy would be nice...There are some wonderful examples around britain..I will monitor this for a month..Maybe two and if you are struggling to find such places then i will either help by googling or choose another theme..thanks for partaking..Ziga

Although I'm an interloper with a Griff not a Wedge, I just want to congratulate you for your tenacity mrzigazaga. After being metaphorically kicked in the nuts with your idea for BBWF I like that you've picked yourself up and got on with it.

Keep at it mate and I look forward to seeing the pictures roll in.
Though what the hell is it with all the censorship? It getting like a ruddy police state in here these days.
Thanks for your kind words..I censored the top picture just FFS but i think nudity is forbidden on the forum and i did push it a little but was duly rained in..Even though the naked parts were not directly in your face..Well not as much as id like anyway..hehe
No-one like's being kicked in the crown jewels but you have to pick yourself up and carry on..Even if its with a high pitched voice...yikes...hurl...Cheers...Ziga

Hi Andy..Thats a kind offer but i would like to reserve pics of the racer for a special type of calendar that i have in mind to either run alongside next years wedge desktop in either an A4 or A3 size...(Dont worry its cars only)...I will announce it soon, Im just hoping there will be enough entrants as it will be specific...Cheers..Ziga

Chris...You any good with a tin of spray..hehe...I will google to see if there are any places in your surrounding area...Cheers..Ziga


Update:..Chris there is the Fleetsbridge Underpass albeit a bit of a notorious place in the past but they have encouraged young talented people to illustrate graffiti there for the skate park..No tagging is allowed so thats one solution..I will contact poole council and see if there are any other places that they encourage street art...

Hi Andy..Thanks for the concern but although it might seem that im sticking my neck out to go overboard on the calendar front im only actually planning on adding one more to what i normally do which will be the BNG calendar, But as it will contain ladies posing with the cars, Clothed i might add which might not be everyones cup of tea there will be the yearly wedge calendar but instead of a wall calendar copy of the desktop i was thinking about a completely different theme and creating a racing wall calendar which will feature wedges at the track..However if there are not enough entrants then it will be the theme for 2014 and a copy of the desktop will be produced instead..I have some new printing options that will allow the calendars to be A3 in size and good quality but very affordable..The desktop calendar will always be a desktop calendar..there might be three different themed calendars but its a matter of choice and i will be careful not to over order...Even if someone was to buy all three it would come to as much as one calendar of the same quality if bought elsewhere..Last year just under 50 desktop calendars and 50 wall calendars sold..The BNG calendars will essentially be aimed at people who actually attended but obviously others are entitled to purchase..I also have the option to run more off if needed..Im aware that people are careful with their hard earned cash but when it comes to charity they always dig deep as is proven with monies raised and donated previously..Also if im totally honest i havent always made all the money back on them but i always give from my own pocket to charity anyway so its not an issue..Cheers...Ziga

Hi peeps..Its getting closer to the time when i like to start preparing the wedge calendar for printing but need another three entrants...Pictures can be outside old buildings..Countryside..next to statues or monuments or bridges or next to planes, Boats or by the sea..But please remember no people or other cars..All weathers needed as well..Frosty..misty..windy..rain or sunshine..Also dont forget i will need the original size for quality...Cheers..Ziga

Updated again...
