EDIT: Follow this link to the store - https://zroadster.org/store/2017-calendars.html

Calendars are £11.00 each, P&P is calculated on checkout.

Calendars will be shipped mid December.

There is an option to collect your calendar(s) from me. Only choose this option if you are likely to see me, or want to travel to Newbury!

---------------------------------

Hi all. I know you've all been incredibly patient waiting for this, but we are now ready to make the big reveal! On behalf of Ian & myself I'd like to thank everyone who submitted a picture!

But first... The amount of effort that's gone in to the selection has been literally brain melting. There were a lot that didn't make the final selection, and that's absolutely no reflection on anyone - just that we can only use 14. There are a couple missing which may raise a few eyebrows, but sadly those original images just weren't high enough quality to enlarge to A3 size. One of my favourite pictures from this year had this problem.

As I say, a tough decision! This year I've put all the images in to a YouTube video (make sure watch in 1080HD) for a change. I will try and get time to add all the images to the second post of this thread this week.

I will be taking pre-orders for the calendar later this week. I need to sort out adding it to the store, which always takes me longer than it probably should.

The final photographers & images are listed below. Not listed in any particular order, or against any particular month - that's still to do! (front cover, back cover & 12 months)

@Rally - Hardtop sunset
@Mrs Rally (Beccie) - Lees Rollin' Coupe
@Twin Turbo - Santa Pod 4 vs 3
@Mnbrennan - For the drive
@Stevo7682 - Snow at Glencoe
@Antm72 - Meadow Fresh
@Mint - Glencoe
@Redline - Sunset over Z4
@Redline - Bozzy's Z3 and Worlds End
@billz - On top of Europe
@Andy McDonnell - Chilly Zed
@Norrbaggar - Z3 on Ice
@Ragtop - Zeds in New Forest
@Broads - Blue Z3 against derelict wall

As Gary said - Huge thanks to everyone who put forward images and allowed us to use them.
I started out with over 190 images to select from and it was really is hard to choose from them. I know there are some huge contributors to to site that entered that may not have made the cut. I hope that no-one is upset that theirs or their favourite isn't included, but, I think we've created a great balanced calendar that reflects all the varieties of Zeds as well as locations and cruises and that will keep everyone staring at their wall for the whole year. Looking great for a month was one of the criteria.

For the avoidance of doubt - I know that you'll see two images by me. The one of Bozzy's car at World's End was too good to leave out but Gary also insisted that my Sunset Zed was also included. I stepped back on the decision of these any of mine when we cut the short list of 30 down to the 14. I was more than happy that either was included.

Enjoy.

Haha, yeah I'm a complete derp. I honestly didn't realise Ian had taken the one of Bozzy's Zed. Rather embarrassingly I got through the selection process without knowing who had taken 3 of the pictures. I had to PM Ian earlier to check before I posted this thread... :bag:

Actually, in someways it's easier to judge the pictures without knowing who took them! Or that's my excuse... :whistle:

Very nice selection of photos - it's not easy as I'm sure there were many great photos over and above the final selection.

Looks to be one of the best collections you have put together. I am privileged to have been picked. Looking at my entry i never noticed before the reflection of @MAURICE THE MARTIANs Zed in it

I saw that on my monitor for the first time when I was editing the images - two for the price of one :thumbsup:
