Definitely interested in a calendar. New in the RX7 game, but I'd love to have one of these hanging around

I'll also send a few pics for consideration, in support of the cause. I'd also pay regular price for a calendar, worth it in my opinion.

Quick update;

I havent really received many submissions this year and its coming up to mid-November.

I could always ask the old school rotary guys if they are interested and maybe do a combo calendar with them?

The nice thing is, the first gen RX7 and the other RX's seem to get a lot of respect from everyone.

Just an idea?

Fitting because I took it October 1st this year lol. I could throw up a pic of my engine bay too.



I'll get a more up to date picture if you want one of the engine bay. It looks a bit different in there now with the wiring cleaned up and an e-fan lol

Or...you could use more than one shot from those who did submitt......Seriously, what ever you do Chris, I know it would be a quality piece and you'd have my support.

i could pose nude i suppose. or i have these from my years of ownership.

rally car is still under my abuse and misuse. i have some good on stage pictures (i put one below), but since i wasnt the one driving during that time, i dont think i have "rights" to them. i can find out though.

Brain farts

Just had a couple of random brain farts...

I've always liked picking around junkyards and would be interested in a calendar comprised of junkyard 1st gens, as long as the pictures were decent-quality, good-composition. The first two attached examples are the best, IMO. Credit Charles Spivak (Flicker) for those.

Also, another option that I'd be interested in is a collection of 1st gen mod or in-process resto pics. Like Gravity Fed's carb close-up in the previous post. Again, decent-quality, good-composition.

Thanks!

There's a reason why Sports Illustrated doesn't shoot their swimsuit edition at the old-folks' home...

I jest.

I have plenty of 1st gen pics that would be nice but I'd have to find the owners and ask them...

I love this shot though:


I mean if I took the picture would it be okay? I'm sure the owner wouldn't mind, I just don't have his contact info.
