Whatever photos you need, just let me know.

Not trying to be picky or anything, but a running order of the pics selected would be nice to see for everyone.

I did not want to start a political shitstorm in the photo thread... so:




January - gmonkey (Black H Coupe)
Feb - CNBLU
March - Guy27 (Silver G)
April - Pauly - Orange/gold Corsa
May - Sooty (Silver H 5dr)
June - Poita (Orange Calibra)
July - Nurb (Nurb)
August - chrissn89 (Silver G)
September - SIMID
October - Hazrd (Red Calibra)
November - Cunnie10 (silver H coupe)
December - ??

to be brutally honest it looks like most of those you picked by who spams or is on your friends list... I'm not sure i've ever seen a post by one of the people you listed...

you missed alot of cars that would be better than a few of the menitoned ones... despite coming from a state where we have 95% astras, I 100% agree with shay on the below points




yet so far we have, astra, astra, astra, corsa, astra, calibra, astra, astra, astra, calibra, astra, ???
i think thats pretty shit...

main models on this forum:
astra G
astra h
vectra b
calibra
corsa c
vectra c
corsa b

so why not have 2 of each of the top 5 and 1 each of the bottom 2 (if any one posts them)


I wont be buying one if it comes out in that format, does not represent the OA community in its truest form.

I'll buy one as long as it has a Veccy B in it :P



Edit: After reading what Toby posted I'll have to agree with him. This is Opelaus, not Astraus.

For everyone thats winging, why not put a pic up that you want included in the calendar. That was the original point yet alot of people not willing to help!

Just for another pov, whilst this is not 'astraaus' it is a forum dominated by astras, so I agree that the calendar should have a representation of the afforementioned models, I disagree that there should be two of each, I'd say more like 1 corsa b etc and end up with like 4, maybe 5 astras tops. These sorts of ratios leads to a more accurate representation of the forum community

i think (for some of us, me included) its more the fact its been posted 1 or 2 days, yet already months are being lined up, no doubt ppl havent seen the thread or had time to post yet, or want new photos, the fact there is already a list of cars to months may be a bit of a turn off for ppl who would have put something in, but think its all taken

+1 if you want YOUR car in it. Get out and take a photo of it. Would be awesome to have vectra b's, corsa c/b's, and cali's and even the astra van people mover thingys. But people we need your photos. Just because the astra guys have uploaded there pics already doesnt mean it will only be astra. There is a cut off date, so get cracking :)

4th January 2010, 06:38 PM
just a thought


what about a 50 50 split ... 2 cars on a month???

sooty
4th January 2010, 06:40 PM
Nothing is locked in yet, just need lots of pics of all the models, then there can be a decision process as to what makes it and what doesn't. If it frees up another spot for someone who really wants theirs in, I don't mind if mine doesn't get used

12months per calender year = 12 cars with 2,711 Members should be intresting

Neeko
4th January 2010, 06:45 PM
i like the 2 cars per month thing

chrissn89

i agree, also means lower quality photos would be able to be used.

True, but right above where the months are posted it says "If there is too many cars i will number them and draw from a hat (i would do voting but that would take forever and ever, so its all down to chance)".

Remember this is a calendar, if we went into too much debate and waited for everyone to go out and get new pics, it would have to be a 2011 calendar.

As Ain said, i'm not fussed if mine gets used either if we can get some other nice shots in there, i'm still getting one.

guys ive just been working with what ive got... IF YOU WANT MORE CORSAS AND VECTRAS AND TIGRAS ETC POST SOME PICS THE DEAD LINE IS 2 WEEKS AWAY, i wont do the finished product till then and car selection will be by oppinion not bias, it will not be an astrafest!!

the months arent set in stone they were just prefferences..

I dont want my car in it, I dont like taking photos of it, I'll be honored if that photo I took of chris's makes it in.

but I would rather look people start looking at the members ride threads for some of the nice cars in there that have no mention (eg arden blue vxrs, black SRiTs, etc) before putting names to months prematurely.

it should be a broad variety of good looking cars, not just from the most active people (not saying they dont have nice looking vehicles)

I had a thought about submitting some of the shots I took of the OA cars on the track at wowb, but they're not allowed to be sold :(

you have to remember i have to acquire photos off these people, people who aint been on for a while or no longer come online and there photos have to be of rather large resolution.. taking photos from their build threads wont work...


my only solution would be is a make a page for a certain car and apply their pictures to a singular page, so maybe a front on pic rear view and engine bay pic..

something like this...

well pretty sure most people keep high res copies... eg. pauly will have them of the vic cars... even looking through previous cruise picture threads...

I'm going to sit now and see what happens
