Gauging Interest: 2010 Second Gen Calendar

Hey guys -

First, let me give you some background information on me.

My name is Chris Glog, from NY. I drive an 84 GS, stock. I reshot the body a Land Rover orange roughly 2 years ago. I used to work at a print shop and started going to college for print. I realized it was way too expensive, so now I attend college for Heating and Air Conditioning. I still occasionally work for the print shop, where I got the 2009 First Generation Calendars printed at last year.

Now to the fun stuff;

I put on the 2009 Calendar for the first generation guys last year. It was a huge success and everybody loved them. The price was $15.

The link to the 2009 Calendar thread is in my signature.

So what do you guys think? Is anyone down for a second generation calendar?

Thanks,
Chris

{Mods, please let me know if this thread is okay, thanks}

I personally would love it. I would love it even more if we got our own second gen members cars in the calender.

Thats exactly what it will be; RX7club.com Second Generation Owners Calendar.

If there is enough interest, which I am sure there will be, people can submit their car[s] picture[s] to me, I will host it on my site, with some sort of voting system.

Last years 2009 calendar I had a little less than what I wanted, but it was the first time someone pulled through with it. There wasn't a voting system on 2009's simple because I used the highest resolution so it would come out clear.

sounds like a good idea, but a voting system will mean everyone will just keep voting for thier own car- thats what happens at the car shows around here, people get some kind of satisfaction for not legitimatly winning something but rather rigging the win.

@Rob: I still have a while to work on this. I'm beginning to program small things and am in touch with a big programmer currently to help do this. It will track via cookies and IP Address.

@Red: It is 100# Glossy paper. It's nice because once the month is over, you can rip off the top and hang it.

When it comes time for the actual design (mid october I started last year but I finished mid November to get all submissions), I will be discussing format, layout and cover image.

I want to build another site with car of the month, member, etc and get users very involved. I have yet to do this, but I did start.

Just don't ask for money in this thread, and it should be fine.

And as far as my vote, I'd say hell yes a 2nd gen calendar would be cool, but I would prefer that at least half of the content be of stock looking cars... if it is just a bunch of tuner cars, it might as well be a Honda street tuner mag.

I would be in, would be friggen wicked! Except I would want 50% of the pics with models posing on top of the cars.

The ultimate would be pics from this thread, on a calendar. Except it would require a decent amount of work getting the girls's consent and drivers's consent.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=girls+rx7+fc

This thread should be stickied to get a high rate of attention. Just in case it gets lifted, subscribed!

I would be in too. As far as preferences go I think clean FC's would look best.

I'd get one. As a matter of fact I'm PMing you about availability of the 2009 calendar.

I'd prefer mostly stock looking cars, as I am also not a fan of huge bodykits. Not sure what's in the 2009 calendar, as links seem to be broken, but action shots of driving down the road or autocrossing would be awesome.

all stock FCs would be super dull

drifter FCs with crap hanging off them and zip tied bumpers is even worse

Id say a good mix of tuned and stock cars in the calendar would be pretty awesome.

I say we have an official Voting thread on cars that get to be in the calender...OoOoo id definitely buy.

just a suggestion it should be with iconic fcs
fcs that are not just forum fanbased, but have some sort of historics or are icons in the tuning scene.










just an idea, of course you would need all new pics, unless you can get permission from those people.

Its gotta have exciting cars!!! make it exciting!!
