Its time to get cracking on this calendar idea. These will be the rules:

1. I will do my best to NOT have duplicates from last year. Of course, this is assuming I have enough good quality pics/cars.

2. I want only calendar worthy cars. I will do the deed of being calendar nazi. Why? I want this to be as professional as possible, and typically such calendars show the best of the best. I will be responsible for choosing which cars go in the calendar, but you can rest assured they will be the finest examples in our community. My car will NOT be in the calendar, this way no one can pretend Im playing favorites.

3. I do not want chicks, or anything cheesy like that. I want super clean thought out pictures. Cool backgrounds, action etc. just follow the basic rules of photography. For tips, look here: http://www.cobracountry.com/fototips/home.html

BAD PIC:

GOOD PIC:

Here is an excellent 'creative' pic:

4. Car can be stock, modded, whatever.

5. I am thinking just 1 quality shot per page. I am not into having inset images of engine/interior etc..when they are typically too small to appreciate any detail that may be there.

6. High quality (3++ megapixel) digital images / slides / 8"x10" prints are accepted formats. More to follow here.

7. I was going to seek a local shop to do these, or if all else fails go to Kinkos like Dupler did last year. His calendar looked great. Does anyone on here have any experience making nice calendars? I remember someone offering assistance, but I forgot who it was :( I want the price to be $20-24 to the members. This can be taken offline via PM.

8. This is a forum, so please reply with input. I encourage all input!!

Get your photographer caps ready, and go scout the perfect backdrop.....its time to put this bad boy together :)

[quick]

MkIIs only? ;)

[6M84MK2]

awesome, i cant wait till there ready, even thougn my car definitely isnt worthy to be sent in. :confused:

[Muchbzy]

Can't wait. :drool: It's always nice to see great Supra's in one place. :onfire:

[Dzone]

I still love Supras...Let me start again,... I still love MK2 Supras
but I must say thats a nice pic of the VW's.

[zank]

hey Malloy how about you give us a peek of pics of this years (2003) calendar (maybe the past months), for those of us that missed out on the GB last year :wink: :P

[CJSREDPRA]

WOO HOO!!!!

Another MKII calendar is in the works!!!! The calendar that Phil Dupler did last year came out well, for what was done with it. Can't wait for the next one. Although, I'm still slightly bummed that my car did not make it last year.

In my case, are multi generation pictures acceptable??? In this case, it would be the 85 Redpra & the 81 Silver Slug?? Will see if I can find a way to be creative about this.

[Eric]

Sweet...the first one may be worthy, I definitely want a calendar regardless of who gets their car on it.

Ok... Someone with a really mint car needs to let me toss it around the autoX a bit... I have some pictures, but my car's all dirty and the rims have 20yrs of brakedust accumulated. Not to mention the front corner is now bunged up a bit... (cries)

Oh well, maybe I'll have a nice car by next years calendar...

--BillyM
(btw, sign me up for a calendar)

[82Spearco]

Mike, what is the deadline for pictures to be submitted?

[SupraFiend]

Ditto on the deadline question. Also when you say no repeats do you mean the same car from the previous year is not eligilble or the same pic? What if the car has changed a fair bit?

For digital image submissions, I highly recomend you accept nothing short of a 3+ megapixel image (2048x1500 something). My pic that was in last years was printed from a 1600x1200 image and it wasen't enough, it looked blurry when it was blown up while the original image was crystal clear.

[Fray]

Ummm, I think that may have been me that offered help a while ago, I work at a print shop in the electronic prepress department. However on Aug 4, I am leaving for Norway and will be gone for 3 weeks...

We print everything here at 350dpi, 300 is standard for us, at the most and I'm not too familiar with megapixels, but I do know that some cameras just plain don't take pictures higher than 72dpi. They look great on screen, but fuzzy printed out, especially if blown up. 100%size = 72dpi, 200%size = 36dpi,really rough, etc. So you really need to know eventual output size (in inches, so you wind up with 300 Dots Per Inch when printed on a press) when you take the picture so if it is to be enlarged, there is enough resolution to support it.

So if you take a 4x5" picture at 300dpi and blow it up 200% to 8x10, the dpi goes down by half to 150 and will still look great on the monitor which displays everything at 72dpi but start to look fuzzy when printed. I you blow it up more the resolution gets worse and worse.

I hope I managed to explain this in a way that makes sense. It's one of my goals to inform the entire world why 72 dpi (like web images) will look like crap when enlarged. I'll step down now.

I also do all the scanning here and can output film, but it sounds like it may get printed on a DocuColor or something not like a traditional press. (Still need 300dpi!)

What quantity are you thinking of having done? I can talk to a salesperson here and see if it's feesible to keep it in the price range, but we normally do high quantity runs, but we have other locations...

I'm happy to help with what I can, but will be without continuous internet connection for most of August. How I will survive I don't know.

Oh yeah, I'll be on an island on the southern coast of Norway eating raspberries and enjoying the boats going by on those loooong summer days.:D

LMK, I have a week or so left before vacation, and I'll be back the 21st, and will definitely check the forum if AT ALL POSSIBLE from over there.
Fray

P.S. My Supra is NOT worthy of the calendar, but I have some pics from when it was new in 84!

[MikeD]

Hey thanks, Malloy, for the location of photography tips. I really needed that as I was doing it all wrong! :P
I'm looking forward to '04 calender.

[82Spearco]

Looking forward to seeing your car in the calendar Mr. Defonce!!!

[MikeD]

Hey Chad,
Thanks. But 1st I need to figure out where and how to take photos! That's one thing I ain't good at! I'm gonna have to work on taking a decent photo worthy to be in a calender. 8)

[rsdeo]

I'm in and I will submit.

Were any images from my site acceptable or do you want better?

Please let me know.

[dogstar]

my car isnt worthy, but im going to try and get my friends mint SDR shot a couple times, and artm should definitely send in pics of his car. :)

[trdmkii]

i would definitly buy a calender of our cars, i have a great picture but the background isn't that good.

[SupraWes]

Are you saying no repeats of cars that were featured or just repeats of pictures that were in the last calendar?

[Malloy]

chad/seamus: I am not sure of a date yet. Once I talk with a calendar place I will let everyone know. It cant hurt to get them in early though :)

wes: I will try to not have the same cars that were in the 03 calendar.

[dogstar]

would anyone be interested in seeing a grungy supra throwing dirt around on some back road?

my friend and i are going out to hurl some gravel next weekend and i can probably take a couple shots.... just depends what camera i take... either the digital if its just for personal use, or the film monster if any one would want something like that in the calendar.

[scarletlizard]

SL is a plain jane but the new paint, $moldings$ and $trim$ and refinished factory rims make her pretty. I'll send in a few and see what happens. Regarless, I'd be interested in at least two copies.
Kepp me posted
Thanks
DJ

[n_et_o]

Yea, I like to drive mine off-road (on th edirt) too. I like to drift in the dirt it feels great :D , can we send pics with dirt-flying everywhere. (Maybe I'll mod my car into a potential rally style car as opposed to a street machine :twisted: )

Im am trying my best to get a high res version of this image:

thanks :)

[pdupler]

Just a little hint, last years submissions included a buttload of red Supras including four or five Super Deep Red 85s, and and two Super Red 83s. For those with red mk2s, you'll need to use a lot of imagination to come up with a shot that'll compete for spot in the calendar. There were also more than enough white mk2s submissions. Not nearly enough black mk2s, in fact, only half a black mk2 last year. I really wanted to have a range of colors in the calendar but I had to work with what I got which was really pretty impressive given it was done absolute last minute. Thankfully Mike is getting this started with enough lead time that everyone can do some experimentation with the camera. Don't experiment too long tho. One of our members from England submitted some beautiful pics but unfortunately, he got his calendar before I got his pics so if sending from outside the U.S., get them sent early.

I will reiterate that the quality of the original print is of utmost importance. I did have to throw out a couple of pics last year because they were too poor quality to reproduce. It was a shame too because they were nice cars, rarer colors and would have given the calendar more diversity.

Phil D.

[pdupler]

Also, what about a cover? I did not do a cover last year partly because I only had individuals cars and didn't want to play favorites more than I already was by picking 12 and partly because I didn't have time to mess with graphics for the cover. I think it would be great if somebody could get a really great group shot of several mk2s, perhaps from a mini-meet for the cover. Some cool graphics would be nice too.

Phil D.

[Racefiend]

Can I use fotoshop to cover up the hole in my airdam? :D I think a cover would be cool. Maybe a group shot of this year's vegas mk2's

Christian

[Malloy]

Thanks for the tips Phil! I have an idea for the cover....I need to work on that also ;)

[Dzone]

I really would like to see one with Phil's Garage with the three Supras inside
That is way cool, and has the cleanest garage, Its like a Speacial MK2Supra tune-up place. 8)
Just an Idea..

Hey Malloy...

Some info of the picture... The picture is taken from an Annual event that happens in Australian Motorsport called the Targa Tasmainia. It is a race over a week or so on an Island. This Picture was taken in 2000 and I believe the car was written off in 2001. happened during the high speed of the course and it skidded off the side of the road in excess of 200Kph into the ditch. I can't remember the details because it was broad cast over TV awhile ago.

I just e-mailed the group and is waiting for a responce.

Cheers.

More info about the race is on http://www.targa.org.au

[Malloy]

Thanks for the info, I am sorry to hear that the car was wrecked :( Please do FW any info you come up with. This is even more the reason to get that pic in the calendar :)

[kicknsupra]

i am in check out my web page i might have the sub wall done soon it will look sweet how many mk2 supras do u see with a sub wall not to many
i am also getting a mint 84 with 90000km i might have it done in time let me know i will have new pics up this week from my trip to van there is some nice ones with sweet backgrounds :wink:

[lgrata]

What do you get for $25.? If it' very good photography I would Spend it.
Also, have you picked a Theme? I must say, I LOVE SUPRAS.

[Malloy]

You get a calendar full of Celica Supras for $25. :P

[lgrata]

Great!, I'll Take 2, one for each time , but not the third.
This must be the Mk5.

[RobMK2]

I'll wax mine up after I polish up my rims (or borrow a friends polished rims)... MAYBE it will look good enough to be in a calendar, If I find the right angle.

[ZZT231]

If you will accept photos from Aust. count me in... I just have to get more Supras in the photo to make it look better...

Cheers.

[Usagisama 83']

I don't think I'll have my new paint job soon enough to submit a picture, infact I prolly won't be able to get it painted till next summer (sigh, poor paintless supra, so much work, so little money :cry: ). Well, to any one with a mint MkII in the Eugene/Oregon area I have a 5 mega pixel digital camera. Also I'm pretty good at taking spiffy pictures. So if any one wants me to take some cool shots of their car, I would be happy to do so!

[Supra GTR]

Malloy, I have a good shot I should submit for your consideration for the cover.

Back when no-one knew about the 86, you had asked to see a pic of my car. I sent you an "art" shot of the car where everything was blurred except the very center. Remember?

[rsdeo]

Malloy

How do you want the images submitted, perhaps on CD? Is there a limit to the number of images submitted? When is the deadline date?

I think one picture George took of Dean Andersons L-Type on the road would be perfect for the calendar. july5-kids-carlo-supra 074 from

http://www.hpphoto.com/servlet/com.hp.HPGuestLogin?username=karaki&password=19021258

[RaptorRacing]

Raj...i must admit...i can't take credit for that shot, Ryan took it from the passenger seat on the dvp. It is a great shot, but unfortunately the resolution won't be high enough for the calender. If i knew there was going to be a calender i would have taken all the pix in high-res mode and brought the laptop to transfer when the card fills up...oh well, maybe next time.
http://www.hpphoto.com/servlet/LinkPhoto?GUID=43b762b7-62a8-6592-7b77-4073596a6a7c&size=lg

[runningincircles]

Boy, I sho' would like one o' them calendars!!

[lil'devil]

You definately can include me in this year. I'll send you a pic on my black beauty as well.

Later
Mark

[dan12771]

i'll take a calender won't be able to submit a picture as for mine is all rusted and nothing special about it yet except for the fact that it's an mk2 restoration project. well how do we make payment? and also when we have to pay by. i'd love a calender maybe 2.

Dan

[Dean]

Count me in for a calendar.
I'll send you some 8x10's too. I sent some to Phil last year, but they arrived too late.
What is the cutoff date for submitting pics?

[Malloy]

Still working out specifics, but please get working on your pictures :)

Again, ultra high res digital images: 3+mp, 8x10 prints are ideal. You can send me slides or negatives, but I will have to possibly charge an additional fee if I need to put it to paper. I should have definite facts in the next few days.

Here are some other cool pics ideas:

[SupraFiend]

The new SCC has some awesome pics in it. They have an article on the best under 30k cars on the market. Almost every car has a beautiful pic of the car in some rural setting with the old version of the car parked in the background. neat stuff

[quick]

Hrm. I have some decent pics like that of the MkIV. Wish I had taken some of the MkII. only 2.1 megapixels though.

I eagerly await the results. :)

[Deanfun]

how about i get some ultra sexy driver-side shots of the silver/black L-type?

there's no rust on that side, so it looks good.

http://timber.rbss.net/efavideos/images/supra1/supra1_062903_happyface.jpg

[azn86mkii]

Can some1 do a Wet-Look on a black mk2? the car always looks clean when its wet.

[Malibyte]

What's the deadline on these...? I just took the Redpra into the paint shop today and it may be another 3-4 weeks before I get my wheels. The car will look great once everything's all done.

Bob

[RaptorRacing]

Call me blind and dumb, but i've read this thread from top to bottom and still have no idea where to send the pix :confused:

http://www.hpphoto.com/servlet/LinkPhoto?GUID=33fb54bc-165c-429b-7332-50ddff554af2&size=lg

Please send CDs / 8x10 prints / slides to:

Suite 3
Telford, PA 18969

I still have no set details....as it is really hard talking a printer into a run of <250. :( Worst case, I will do a Kinkos deal.

[85SUPRA]

what is the deadline for the pics??

[Malloy]

Send them to me ASAP. I did not post a deadline since Im working with a printer who is unsure of a date.

Let not wait for a deadline...just take some badass pics and send them to me ASAP. :)

[dogstar]

for what its worth, my cars in horrible condition, but im going to take a pic of it during bath time....

all wet and with big soapy headlights and sleek curves... might even get a car in the pic too. ;)

if anyone wants to steal my idea and use it on a nice car, that might be a better result, as i highly doubt mines calendar quality.

[Tanya]

Grrr, I wish I could afford to have my car painted right now so it would be calender worthy, but.....maybe if I can HIDE the fact it's practically primer black...hmmm
Anyway, I live in a great spot for awesome pics, we have thunderstorms almost daily, and I would die to get a pic of the Blackpra w/ lightning in the background! I'm going to try to get some neat pics. And maybe, if it's acceptable get pics of the car drifting down a dirt road or something neat to mask that my car isn't mint, lol
I almost thought about going out to the gator hole and teasing some gators to get in front for a pic, it's just the problem of getting the gators back away from the car, heh :twisted:

Tanya

[MikeD]

Hi all, I'm still working on getting a good pic. None of the pics I took a few weeks ago turn out to my satisfaction. It's really hard to get an ideal pic without any blemish/mistakes. There are a couple that turned out great but there's reflection on my 7mgte mk2 of poles/signs/trees and also unexpected light poles on background, etc. grrr. Will have to pick different spots. Not easy to do with a regular 35mm camera as you can't check out each pic instantly like you can on digital.
Anyhow, once I get decent pics, should I scan the pics to put on this forum like I did under "Braid wheels" for all to see or should it be a "surprise" if it makes it to the calender? :P

[Malloy]

Make it a surprise ;)

[SupraFiend]

Mikey, we got your calander pics right here baby :D The meet this last weekend was a big succes. We got some killer group pics in a very nice green field, on film with a high quality manual camera no less. I'll get them developed tommorrow night, then choose the best of the bunch and get them blown up to 8x10s and send them in. I think we have the cover shot taken care of no prob and theres another 2 or 3 in there that will be more then worthy for various months.

[Malloy]

Badass man! I have not seen anything yet, so this is a great start. I am expecting some killer shots out of NJ also ;)

[Flyin' Hawaiian]

but you did get my pic on my webpage, right? If not, I'll resend the link to you in the morning!
I'm still trying to get in touch with my printer, he's been out of town on vacation, so I'll try him on Thursday when he returns.
I'll keep ya posted!
Chris

[Malloy]

Yes I got the pic. Please LMK what you come up with :)

[MikeD]

Make it a surprise ;)

OK, then as to keep my cost down, should I scan some pics and send them to you via pm? It won't be for awhile (2-3 wks) as I'll be on vacation for a week (without my car) :(

[Malloy]

You can try, but I am not 100% confident with the scan. What scanner are you using?

[MikeD]

Malloy,
I was thinking of first scanning some pics, once and if you pick a pic for the calender then I'll have 8x10 pic made and sent to you. Is that OK?

[82Spearco]

Unless Mike sets up an FTP site for pic submission, you will not be able to send him pics that are high enough resolution for the calendar, his ISP will block emails that large.....I just tried sending Mike pics last night, and they didn't go through.

If you don't want to get photos made, you could burn the pics to a CD and mail it to him.

[Flyin' Hawaiian]

Just an idea, but if your pics are under 10 megabytes, why not set up a free pic-hosting site? I use Pbase(actually paid for a membership after a few months). This way you can put all of your pictures up for Mike in a smaller size, give him the website address, and he can view them and tell you which one he'd like a full-res file of, then delete the rest and post that one image in full resolution!
There are a ton of services like this out there, Pbase seems to be one of the easier and higher quality than others...

http://www.pbase.com

It's just a thought...
Chris

[Malloy]

Actually Chad, they just made it to me. Ill make a page, thumbs etc. for you guys, Ill PM you with details

[82Spearco]

Very Cool 8) Thanks a lot Mike :!:

[dan12771]

i was wondering mike if you could make a site up with all the pics you've recieved for the calender and stuff like that. also maybe we could vote on which pic's should make it. just an idea don't know if it's a good idea but just an idea lol.

Dan

[Malloy]

Hi Dan,

Im going to pick them. You can call me the calendar Nazi. Typically, it will be a 1st come 1st serve deal, assuming the pics show and will print well. This is no different than how any other car club typically prints calendars.

Keep the pics rolling!!

[SupraFiend]

yeah I like how Phil D kept it all a suprise untill the calender actually arrived in your hands. Its like seeing the same trailer for a movie 30 times for a year before it comes out. When you finally see the movie, your like, ho hum, I saw that stunt coming a mile away because I've seen it dozens of times in the last year in trailers.

Mike, got the pics back last night. Theres some really good ones in there but I didn't have the light settings quite right on the camera so the reds and greens aren't as deep as they should be. I can request them to adjust that when they print the 8x10s but last time I did that they didn't asjust as much as I was hoping. I think I may try some crazy high res scans and then adjust them myself to get it perfect. Plus I can crop them right and fix the odd imperfection then. If its like a 5000 by 5000 pixel image that should be pretty good to print out at 8x10. If the scan isn't high enough quality I'll get the 8x10s printed and adjusted. How do you want me to get the digital images to you Mike?

[Malloy]

Put em on a CD and send here:

[82TURBOSUPRA]

http://hometown.aol.com/ttsupra/images/k.jpg
How about this one :roll: :with the 4 A-10's flying by.

[SupraFiend]

nice shot. Theres a really nice AE86 here with those same rims, I have a pic of it around here somewhere

[Usagisama 83']

Just wanted to say WOW! :D I love your car, those wheels are great, very 80's! The graphite silver paint looks real nice. Well thats all....(sigh)....wish my car had paint..... :roll:

[Usagisama 83']

Quick thought. Any one here at celicasupra.com own a two tone red and black 84 (I think, can’t remember year). Also happen to live in Eugene OR and live a short distance from the U of O?

I ask because there is this really nice supra, one of the most finished and new looking ones I have ever seen in Eugene. Either this car spent the last +19 years protected and never driven, or some one spent a lot of time fixing her up. A superb example of “MkIIness” that should really be in the calendar.

If this person isn’t already a member I will have to tell him/her to check this page out and submit a photo. Guess that wasn’t such a “quick” thought…..

[82Spearco]

That has to be about the nicest looking l-type I have ever seen. Very cool! Is that your neighborhood?

What are those things hanging down between the wheels?

[82TURBOSUPRA]

The skirts between the wheels is made from a nylon reinforced belt material that is 1/4" thick that will flex on speed bumps but will stay rigid at high speed, very stable at 140 mph and keeps road debris from hitting lower panels. Not my neighborhood, mine is covered by to many trees for any nice pictures.

http://hometown.aol.com/ttsupra/images/08230007%20side.jpg

[supramad77]

Mike, have you got a deadline yet for the cut off point. I am still waiting for my iforged rims to arrive. Seems like this happened last year. I have taken some more pictures today and i can put them on a disc if you want.
I would prefere if I could have my new wheels on and my body kit finished. I am going to get on to my bodywork man again tomorrow to see if I can get my car in. I have been waiting for about three months.
Regards
Pat
:mad:

[CowGod]

Wish my car wasn't so ratty looking. I think this is sort of a cool shot:

http://binrock.net/cowgod/photos/2003/20030413-drift-day/scan0007.jpg

And it's from a 35mm SLR so it's got all the resolution necessary too. But the trim hanging off the sides of the car (and the severe body roll haha) sort of kill it.

[NiGHTS]

Yeah, my car needs a little work here and there...when I'm happy with it I'll take some pic's...but by the time I get around to fixing everything, it probably wont be ready until next year. So if you make a 2005 calendar, I'll send them in for that. :D

Good luck with the 2004 Calendar anyway...should be good!

[trdmkii]

very nice picture of an autocross, very tight, who cares about body roll, whoever took that is reallly good, man i wish that someone would take a picture of me when i autocross....

[supramad77]

I put some new pictures on my photos page yesterday. Check them out and see if they are good enough for the calenda.

:rockon:

[Flyin' Hawaiian]

Hey Mike, what's the word on the calendar situation? Just checking to see if its still a go for 2004!
Chris

[Malloy]

Please get all pics to me by Oct. 20.

Hi guys,

Flyin Hawaiian has an opportunity for us to get top notch calendars, but they will be almost $30 shipped. I will have to pre-sell 75 of these to make it happen though. I will barely break even at that price, so this will not serve as a fund raiser or anything for the site. Chris is pulling some strings to let us run off a small batch of 85 calendars (he is purchasing 10! for himself)

Please get all pics to me by Oct. 20. I have received pics from only 2 people so far.

If this option proves to be too expensive, I will go for the lower cost option that we saw last year. Still a nice calendar, and a bit cheaper.

Personally, I would flip for the $30 calendar ;) What do you guys think, $30 too much?

[RaptorRacing]

I would def. pay $30 for a top notch calender.

[SupraFiend]

Sure thing, I'll get those pics to you pronto!

[MikeD]

I'll pay $30, also. Sorry for not submitting any pics! I think the ones I took are too boring. I'd thought you would have way more than 2 people who sent pics you mentioned!

[RaptorRacing]

I try to round up some pix and fire'm off by the weekend.

[Muchbzy]

(Personally, I would flip for the $30 calendar ;) What do you guys think, $30 too much?


I'm in for the $30 dollar price. Having our own calendar is worth it to me.

[Supraluva]

I'll try to get some pics this weekend too. $30 is definitely cool for a MK2 calendar...

[SupraFiend]

Hey, the original SupraLuva returns. You should hang around man and make your presence known, we have at least 2 people here now with the same handle, its confusing as hell! :)

Mike, cd is burnt and packaged, I'll get it into the mail tonight

[Malloy]

Hey Jehan, nice black 85 :shock: :D Glad you are on the forum here.

seamus: good deal

[82Spearco]

I am definitely in for the $30 calendar. I will burn some pics and send them to you next week!!!

[Malloy]

Bring it!! I need pics :)

I like that color Cheapower82!
Mike, I've got the full size tiff of the one you wanted, Not sure if I should send it to you, or just wait till you send me the art and have me drop it in here (that is if you even want my car in the calendar!)

Nice ride man. That looks real cool. I can't see why your car would not make it to the calenda. I should get mine back from the body shop in a couple of days and it will be the total oposite of yours being completley white. I just need my iforged rims to finish it off allthough I think it will be to late for the calenda.
:D

[cheappower82]

Man, I love the wheels! Wish I could find a deal on a set of those.

[Draven]

not a serious one for the calender, but one to bring a tear to the eye. was a perfect example, less than 80 000 genuine kms on the clock

:crying: :crying: :crying: poor poor supra, that really hurts, kind of makes me sick to my stomach.......what happenend? was that yours?

it was - building another one up at the moment.

blew a tire on a corner at 90km/hr. lost it into a rock wall. :(

uhhh, ouch!! not to notice something strange or anything like that... but, if you'll look at the front wrap around turn signal there...

my US spec doesn't stick out like that.... This another Aus spec car difference?
BIG pic, but take a look.... http://www.masupras.com/mikew/DSC02022.JPG

Mike

[Dean]

Mike Malloy,

I sent you some 8x10's yesterday by air mail. You should get them in 5 or 6 days. Hope you can use one of them in this year's calendar. Maybe my car can represent the L-types! :D

Mike Webber, that front turn signal was on European Mk2's as well. I 've seen that little bump on a local member's 84 that he shipped over from Germany. Unique!

[Black Dawg]

So call me uninformed.......

but how does one go about ordering this calendar?

[Malloy]

One would have to wait for the person creating the calendar to:

1. receive enough pics from forum members (looking good, should be ok in a few days)
2. wait for ordering details

:)

[CJSREDPRA]

Yep.......

And pictures had to be in Mike Malloy's hands by today (see page 6 or 7 for deadline announcement). Or it's possible that Mike will wait a few extra days. I sent my pics in last week, he should be getting them today. 3 pics of the Redpra & 3 of the Silver Slug. Will have to see if they are calendar worthy this year!!

[supramad77]

I did not send any off mine in as I want to have my iforged wheels fitted to finnish off the look of the car. They are supposted to be arriving this week but I guess it will be to late again this year.

I have been trying to post a picture here but I can't get it to work. :confused: :whutthef:

[suprasrock]

I've just found this pic of a mk2 with some really aweful bodywork mods. The sideskirts look like they're stolen from a BM, and that white paint all over the black bits, aaargh!! :throwup: ............nice wheels though!
http://www.yellowsun.plus.com/start+point+4.jpg











:rotfl: :joke:
only joking Pat

[supramad77]

Nice one Graham, Not to sure how you got the picture to work but well done. I spent about two hours last night messing about with that with no luck. Dam my lack of computer skills.

[suprasrock]

Pat, I think your problem is that the Yahoo site is not really suitable for this type of linking. I'm assuming that you're getting the tags right - should look something like [img ]http://www.yellowsun.plus.com/start+point+4.jpg[/img ] (without the spaces)

Most ISPs (you're with freeserve?) provide some free webspace and you don't have to learn HTML just to be able to store some photos on it, you just need to be able to use FTP (which is just a file manager that works across a network).

To post your picture above I downloaded it from your Yahoo album, FTP'd it to the free webspace allocated to me by my ISP, then linked to it as above.

Nil desperandum, it's all character building :rotfl:

[supramad77]

Yes I think you are right Graham. The link from yahoo was really long to type in. I have tried before without any luck and put it down to where the photos were stored. Its strange that you picked that picture as it was the one I was tring to load up. You must have read my mind.
:D

[82Spearco]

Mr. Malloy, did you get the 3 pictures I sent you?

[Malloy]

Hi Chad,

Email is probably the most effective form of communication for these kind of questions. No I didnt. When did you send these pics?

I have received pics from:
Dean A -white and red cars
Karaki -black car
Seamus -red car
Eng -red mk2 and mk1
rsdeo -red car
Greg G -blue car
Supraluva -black car
CeeJay -silver 2 tone
Sidman -TC car
Webber -blue car
Solo1Supra -race car
FlyinHawaiian -blue 2 tone

[supramad77]

Hey Mike is it too late for me to submit photos. My iforged rims will arrive tommorrow for sure. I have spoken to the shipping company and they are in Plymouth about 35 miles away. I had to wait for them to clear customs today otherwise I would have them now. I could send them over the internet for better speed, unless you want prints.
:hail: :rockon:

[CJSREDPRA]

Hrmmmm.... Mine was the only Silver MKI submitted???? (awaits to see if the Slug makes the cut...). :D

[Supra Bob]

Chris... I saw your pics at Mikes house.. easily the best looking MkI I have ever seen around! The Redpra is no slouch either ;)

[Supra GTR]

No all silver MK2s?????

Wait a minute? Dan not representing?

[Speed Racer]

http://www.internetmediastudio.com/supra/web_pics

Mike...

I'll probably send you a couple of the above. You should have them in a day or two. Pretty large files...and you wanted hard copies (prints) right?

Steve

[supramad77]

Does anyone know if Mike has cut off the deadline for the calendar?
I want to send him a couple of pictures but don't want to waste my time if it is to late. I don't get a reply from emailing him.
:?

[Supra Bob]

I don't think the dealine has ended yet... Give Mike a day or two yet to reply.. He's been away on a business trip.

[CJSREDPRA]

Bob & Pat,

Somewhere back on page 6 or 7 of this thread, he did establish a entry deadline of October 20th. However, there is a possibility that he may still be taking more pictures, he has not said much else about "no more" pictures, this is it" yet.

As others have mentioned, Mike was/is in Las Vegas attending this years SEMA show (Specialty Equipment Manufactures Association) at the Vegas Convention Center, thus he is not answering any mail. Just sit tight until he gets back.

[Flyin' Hawaiian]

and Mike, when ya do get back, I've sent a link to the full-sized pics in a PM!!! Not sure your email can handle 20+mb of images...
Chris

[Malloy]

Im back :) I have enough pics, assuming some of the ones that were sent in the wrong size can be used.....I have an appointment with the calendar guy Friday, so I will have all details soon.

[SupraFiend]

Wrong size? You mean someone sent in vertical shots? All 4 of the ones I sent were probably not the exact same aspect ratio as the calander, they probably will have to be cropped just a bit if used.

Let us know the shots that are going in when you pick them!

[supramad77]

Hey Mike do you want me to send you a couple anyway incase you can't use some of them? I have put mine into the printers today and should have them back by Wednesday lunchtime.
I am having a bunch done 8*10.

[CJSREDPRA]

Seamus,

Except for 1 of mine, there might be problems w/ the rest of the ones that I sent in. I sent in 6 pictures, and originally I had them all done in the requested size of 8x10"s. On 5 of them, the ends got cropped off (not too cool looking, when the front & rear bumpers have been whacked off) when I got them back from the developers, so in order to keep them from getting cropped off, I had to redo those 5 in 8x12" size instead... Thus the "size" problem... The ends of the pictures have been retained (thus the bumpers are not cropped off), but the pictures are now in the wrong size....

So I'll have to see if any of my pictures makes it in...

[82Spearco]

Mike, I am not sure what happened to the first batch I sent you, but yesterday, I mailed you a CD with 3 high-res pics via Federal Express overnight mail. You should get them at B&M today. Hopefully it is not too late.

[Malloy]

Got it today. I like the pic with mark!

[82Spearco]

Cool, glad you got it!

[fjb]

I'm in, I'd love a MKII calendar!

I also have some pics of my 84 P-type on my web site, with some nice backgrounds - Pacific Ocean from Santa Cruz Natural Bridges Beach and Park, plus some old (taken in 1985) pics of my Supra buried in the snow in Minnesota!

If any are acceptable, please let me know, or if I should just post links to them here in the forum?
The pictures are online at http://imageevent.com/frednet/supra/ ... especially pics number 1, 2, 6, 8 (this is the "medium size", visit the link above for other available sizes):

75. http://photos.imageevent.com/frednet/supra/websize/1985_11_01.JPG (especially)

Hopefully these aren't too cheesy, but I really like the winter shot (number 75 above) of just a lone Supra in an emtpy snow-filled parking lot (possibly perfect for a December/January calendar page, at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere).

Enjoy!

[fjb]

Oops, I hope I didn't miss the cutoff date! :oops:

[Eric]

Love the snow shots...I'm from MN!

Eric

[SUPRASLAVE]

Count me in for at least one calender ? When will they be available Mike?

Dominic

[fjb]

Love the snow shots...I'm from MN!

Eric

Yeah, I love those shots too ... even though I got very tired of the snow.

Those shots made me look at red cars differently: bright red paint is actually a safety feature! It may actually prevent your car from getting bulldozed when it is mostly submerged in a snowy parking lot! :roll: :mk2vroom: (But YMMV.)

[SupraFiend]

That could be debatable. Some belive red cars are magnets for accidents. I had a friend with a red prelude who was hit (always hit, never his fault) 7 times before that car was written off :lol:

I've heard that story before. Perhaps that is an indicator of being an "ambiguous driver", more than a problem with red being an accident magnet?

[fjb]

Yes, did we miss the cutoff???

[CJSREDPRA]

See page 6 or 7.

At the moment, Mike says he has enough pictures...... "Assuming" that he can still use the pictures that were sent to him in a somewhat different size...... :?

Okay, I just hunted through the pages for the link: Here is one with the Oct 20th cutoff date highlighted in red:
http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2218&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=86

There are still a few posts after that one asking if enough pictures were had, but it looks like the answer is yes, we did miss the cutoff date ... but there's always next year!

[scarletlizard]

Yes, did we miss the cutoff??? :pat:

Mike, I'll take 3 or 4 for sure.

[RaptorRacing]

DJ...don't worry you didn't miss the cut-off to purchase the calender...just to submit pix to have your car in the calender...how's the car coming along...will she be a 7m sceaming shkank next year?

[scarletlizard]

Why yes she will George.
Gotta butt some heads with Joseph and Mark.
Later

I'm in for 1. Any Idea if they'll be ready for christmas? :x-mas: Just wondering.

[Malloy]

PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD ASAP:

http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=40444#40444

We are going to take payments for the calendars starting 12/1/2003. Price: $32.00 shipped (via check or money order). $33.75 (via Paypal) Please order ASAP, this will ensure prompt shipment. :)

Why so much $$? I will be working with Chris (Flyin' Hawaiian) on a high quality calendar that rivals the nicest production calendars you may see in book stores. Since we are printing a small number of calendars, the prices are elevated somewhat.

Why this is special: Chris was able to swing a deal with his local printer, to do a run of only 100 calendars...where most printers would laugh at such a request and demand 500 or more. We have the rare opportunity to have a small yet high quality run on these calendars. We must all thank Chris for putting this together at such short notice. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I need to presell 50% in the next week or so to ensure I will not go broke financing this project. I will then front the remainder if need be. Hopefully these puppies will sell right out ;) We will not make 1 penny on these calendars, it will be a challenge to break even @$32 shipped. I think its worth it, since we will have an awesome calendar to hang in our homes, offices, garages (wish I had one of those) etc :)

Payment Options:

1. $32.00 ( via check or money order)
