Bristol Kit Car Club and Forum - BKCC

Now that showtime and track days are here again and the sun is starting to shine, I'm starting my search for pictures for next years Calendar.

All 100 I had made up for 2015 have now all gone. And I'm hoping this time, to be able to get them done this year in plenty of time for next year. ;D

So get that camera snapping and send me your entries. :P ;)

8)

When would you need them by Bri?

I thought the calendars were great (I bought 4!!). Couple of suggestions if you are open to ideas?

I noticed there were no days of the week on the main month part on each page, quite handy to have them. Also maybe some info on each car featured, make, model, engine, interesting facts or stats maybe?

I know a lot of work goes into doing things like this, so well done Bri, I can't wait for my 2016 edition!

Thanks for the suggestions ::) I will see if they can be on the next one, Maybe along with Queens Square and club meets as well. ;D

Hoping to get all entries in by the end of Sept, (Oct latest) to get them printed in plenty of time this year.

So get your cameras out (when the sun finally arrives) and send me your pics :P

Great idea.

I have been promised a very interesting picture of my car with a certain blonde friend, we shall see if she is a girl of her word!!  :o

Is that a form of bribery to get your car in the calendar? ;D

I can work with that ;)

Whatever it takes Bri, whatever it takes!!!!  ;D

I've started collecting photo's now for next years calendar. So get snapping peep's and send your entries to me. :D

It would be good to feature Go Inspire in at least one pic.

No probs Bri, (October is my birthday month btw!!) hahahahaha!!!!

I'll bear that in mind. ;)

8)

Come on everybody! ??? I'm hoping to get the calendars ordered sometime in October, so there will be plenty of time to get yours before the new year.

If you've got a decent piccy of your car send it to me via email (full file size) to get it in the running for the calendar, hopefully there will be some more good weather before the end of this summer so get snapping guys. Some lovely scenery around Tintern Abbey could make for some great pics ;)  so far I have just 3 pic's, :'(

We've got some fantastic cars in our club, lets show them off as the calendars do end up nationwide. ;D

8)

Did you see any of the ones from Highnam Court?  :)

Bri,

Crash Test Dummy has taken some good ones but doesn't have the time to sort them - hoping to send you some over the weekend.

Ian

Yes I did, and I'm looking to possibly use one as the cover photo.

8)

Starting to get near the date I need to send the pics off for next years calendar ::) (end of Sept)

At the mo, I have 1 for the cover and 3 months sorted. so just another 9 pics needed. All those that have said they have some for me can you please get them over to me asap. so final decisions can be made.

Remember, I need files attached so I get the full file size. No links to pics or inserted in the email.

I have some but I think you have enough of mine by now.  :)

Took a couple on Saturday so will email them over to you Bri..

What email address do you want the photos sending too?

Mark

My email for those that need it is

brianvigor@hotmail.com  ;D

Looking forward to seeing those pics.

8)

Cheers Mark, Steve, Steve and Dave for you pics. Only 3 more months to cover.

Ian, Crash test and Ed, if you've got any track day pic's to send over that would be good. ::)

8)

Bri, I have emailed you a selection of photos to look at - or throw darts at, it's up to you ;D

Ed I've checked my email. Nothing through from you :( did get some from Ian. Thanks.

8)

Bri. I've sent it again to brianvigor@hotmail.com - is that correct?

If it is you might want to check your spam folder ;)

Bri,
Just sent you one of mine to your email address. Let me know if you got it.

Cheers,
Gary

Yep. Gary and Ed I've got the emails now and added them to the pile ;)

Wanted to send a couple of mine but still waiting for the Nose-cone to be sprayed and bonnet finished!! :( :(

Well hurry up then as we can't call you Paintman if that is the one thing you can't get done.  :D or we will have to call you "waiting to be paintman" instead.  :P

Call him primer man then. ;D ;D

It's being done by my son at his paintshop.....the insurance company has paid him to prep and spray it but he hasn't got round to it yet, he's been busy with a bare metal respray and restoration on a Ferrari 308 which has wrapped up the last 4 or
5 week.

I'm getting the Nose-cone sprayed in high gloss black with Holographic coloured micro-flakes incorporated in the lacquer
layers to match the wings and body. :P

Now that does sound good!!! Can't beat a great paint job.

I stumbled across a massive bikers meet at Cog Mill Farm near Frampton Cotterell earlier this afternoon. It's on all night, they are camping there. Hundreds of bikes some with really interesting paint jobs. I took some pics and will post them up in the next day or two as soon as I can. I half expected to bump into Lucky ed or Hairy Santa on his Harley!

It one of the few times I felt small!! I'm 16 1/2 stones yet more than half the guys there made me look small!!!

I've sent you a mail Bri.

The Hoods' going to Reef Paint Shop next week to get it done...... :o :o

Glad to hear it mate.  8)

Last call for any late entries, I do have a pic now for every month. But if you still have a pic you wish for consideration for the 2016 calendar, shout now ;D

Any that do not quite make it this time will get moved to the file for the 2017 calendar. So top quality pics please or they won't make it in ::)

8)

I'm hoping to take a few either today or tomorrow Bri ok.  ;)

Ok Peep's, here's what I've got already. ;D

Really great pictures Brian, this will be another fab calendar mate!!

Ref. Front cover.

Col is looking at me thinking "whats he crying for at least he made the front cover :'( :'(

Nice one Bri. Good selection. Will defiantly be buying some.

Thats brill Bri! Love that shot of ratbag, although have been out and had my haircut ;D

Looking good Bri.  8)

Gary if I remember that morning right we were all saying where's he going now?  :o before you finally saw us.  ;D

Dave did FHO cut your hair for you?

Thanks Bri - A nice balanced set. I really like the one of Dave/Ratbag as it somehow captures the whole essence of kit car.

I totally agree

Yeah they are all very good but I have to agree the one of Dave and Ratbag does have a certain something about it.

The lone ranger, the wind in his hair, the steely look in his eye, the road less travelled stretching ahead, the look of pain as his arse goes numb!! ha ha!! I'm kidding, it's a great shot that one.  ;D

Well done Bri and thanks for all of the work you put into this.

You've got me thinking about Christmas now!

Ian

Thanks guys. ;D there is still 2 weeks left before I take them down to the printers. Don't know which ones I may sacrifice but any replacements are gonna have to be good.  ;)

Is there room to put more than one picture per calendar page Bri?

Did think about this, if I had too many good ones sent in. ::) but it would have made each pic smaller to fit them on. ??? I did receive some good pic's but the quality wasn't quite there and were a little blurry when brought up to size. So I've kept it at the 12 for the year. And a few ready for 2017 ;)

I had a chat with a few in the Square yesterday about bringing the price for a calendar up to £4 each (with free P+P if needed), but with 50% of that going to our 'Go Inspire' Charity.
All were happy with this. :P

They all look great Bri.

Nice to see some non-yellow cars!!  ;D  Kidding guys, I love yellow. I think bananas for example are delicious. And I love a slice of lemon in my G&T.  And I like custard too.

PLUS I have yellow pipes on the ASBO. I am even about to put a genuine Suzuki yellow (and carbon fibre) GSXR sticker on the car!

£4 is still a bargain.

Mark

£4 is a good price mate.  :D

Okay.... It's all down at the printers now. Hopefully I should get a first print soon to give the go ahead. I will bring it down to the next Queens Square Meeting for viewing.  ;D

8)

Put me down for two Bri.  8)

Great idea. I'll give them a little nudge next week to see if they can get them done by then ;)

8)

Good news. The first batch of calendars should be ready on the 26th Oct, (I hope ::)) ready for the Nov & Dec Queens Square meetings and even the Classic show :P

Bri
Can you put two down for me please

Three for me please Bri.

Will be picking up the first batch of calendars Monday/Tuesday. Colin, I can drop some off at yours to take to the show on Saturday (that's if your going)

Cool, how many can I order Bri? Would be nice to give them away to some of my top customers :) I don't mind paying up front.. Cheers;  Steve

OK Bri just txt me when your on your way. You can dring your deposit money aswell.  :) Don't forget I'm out this Thursday.  :D

Thought you might be. Might get along there Thursday depending on what time I get away from work. Prob' be just after 9 if anyone will still be there ::)

8)

Got the calendars today. The guy doing the printing didn't get the message they were to be A3 and did them at A4 size. They still look great and I can have some more done at A3 size if anyone would prefer. ;D

8)

Does that mean they are half price :P  ONLY JOKING !!!

Can we pick them up at the show at the weekend or Thursday meet if you are there Bri?

Gonna try and drop in to the meeting on Thurs if I get away from work in time. Also dropping some of at Colin to take down to the show.

Great value for money with half of the money going to our "Go inspire now" charity   8) 8) 8)

:) Got my 10 delivered today.. Only paid for them yesterday.. A BIG thank-you to Bri for getting these done. WELL WORTH the money guys..

Did they arrive undamaged by Royal Mail Steve?

They sure did :) No damage what so ever, but being a pack of ten meant the package was nice and firm..

Just wanted to congratulate Bri on another great calendar - even better than last years!

Cheers for all the work that went into them Bri. I had 5 in the end as I know a few mates and garages that will love one on their wall.

If you have not got one yet they make great Xmas gifts for friends and family, hurry up and get one before they are all gone!!

Hi Bri is it possible to have two delivered to me please same as last year  :)

Hi Bri.  Are there any A3 left, let me know and I can send money and cover post just let me know via PM.

Sure Garry. I'll get them sorted this week. Sorry, Seem to have lost PM with your address, could you resend.  :-[
