Hi all

My name is Taz, and over the past several years, I've done a calendar for the GTM owners featuring their own builds. Its become an annual tradition. I do it for essentially the cost of production and shipping, not for profit. (There's a story there, but its a long one and I won't bore you.)

Anyway, this year I have been given permission to do a calendar for each Factory Five model's ownership group. I'm curious if there is enough interest in the 65 Coupe community here. I'm attaching three images from previous GTM calendars so you can get an idea of what I'm doing....

Also, please feel free to ask your GTM bretheren on the forum whether or not they have been happy with previous calendars.

In order to start, the first thing I need is pics of your cars. 12 owners, 12 cars.

Lets, get them in, boys!

Requirements:
Minimum 3200 pixels wide, decent quality

Requests:
Car photo - multiple photos from different angles.
Engine bay photo
In the past on the GTM calendar, each month has featured an automotive quote. This can be your own "catch phrase" or saying, or a quote by someone famous. (Example: "Its not a throttle, its a detonator" - Jeremy Clarkson)

Information:
FFR chassis number
Engine type (and horsepower number if you like)
Owner Name
Owner location (city/state)
Does your car have a name?
anything else you want included (featured in magazine? special build features? unique stuff?)

Please send info and images via email to taz-rules@shaw.ca

Ordering will be done on a different thread.

No Coupe contributions yet. Is no one interested?

FYI, in the past, calendars have cost $25 shipped to the US (Europe adds a couple of bucks). I'll keep them at that price. This covers the cost of printing and postage. (As I said, I do this for reasons other than profit, which is good, since there is none! LOL)
Ideally they are finished, ordered and printed by the end of november, paid orders are shipped in the first week of december so they arrive by Christmas.

No coupes contributed yet.

If I can get 6 coupes and 6 33s, I may combine the two.

FYI, there are 10 submissions in for the Cobras, and 8 for the GTMs, and a few 818s. These calendars will be available. But unless I get some coupes, and soon, its looking like no 65 calendar this year. Pity, I love the look of these cars!

Come on guys, great way to get a calendar for the garage!

I would like a calendar, but my car is currently in the unfinished state when it comes to contributing... Unless you would like a splash of red gel coat in there!

Taz is it looking like you will have enough to make a go?

Yes, its going to happen. So it the GTM, and 818. The Cobra calendar is already filled. With spares, LOL.

Five submissions in, four more promised. That's enough, though I may double up a few guys and give them two months.
I'd rather not do that, though.... Five for sure, tentative nine...that leaves THREE spots open

Let's see em!
