NMS Calender 2015

[MINI William]

Early I know but we are going to have a club calender for 2015. The plan is to select a "Car of the Run/ Show" to go into the calender after most events. These will be selected by the members that attened that event. There will also be a selection for everyone to pick there favourite pictures for some other months in the calender later on that havn't already been selected.

Can I ask everyone that was on Stoneys run on Sunday to pick their car of the run please. Only rule to this is that it can't be your own car.

I'll start of with selecting Jonathan's Countryman

right so far voting goes

Robs run Johnathans car
HF run Clubvan and group tied
easter egg run all tied
loch tay run Digital lemming
car show Eddie JCW
Safari park Cuddles jcw
highland tour Andrews car (free space)
big mini show Davys GP

right so need a chosen pic from
Johnathans countryman
me clubvan
easter egg mods to pick
lochtay Andrews cooper s
car show eddies jcw
safari park cuddles jcw
mods to pick
bms davys GP

member vote
stoneys JCW
2 x GP
Craig convertable

[Eddie_JCW]

Jonathan's, he didn't have to slow down to avoid the puddles (lochs on the road)

[stoney]

I'll start of with selecting Jonathan's Countryman



2nd that :D

[DigitalLemming]

I've gotta say Jonathan's as well - all I could see in my rear view was him diving through every puddle in his way :thumbs up: while the rest of us dodged around them!

[weefossy]

great Countryman........and that's coming from me........think this would make a great calendar picture

4942

[MINI William]

Looks like Jonathan has it. Well done Jonathan

[Craig]

[badwolf340]

next car to be in the new NMS 2015 calander will be picked ( by the attending peeps) at the HF run on sunday ,good luck everyone ,:thumbs up:

[Jude]

I think the new van should go in the Calendar. Looked cracking today .

[DarnShiv]

Have to agree with Jude, the van is superb and should be on. Having said that, it could be the cover shot for the calendar, before you open Jan.

[cuddles]

Think the next pic should be Jude and me trying to get out lol xx

[Eddie_JCW]

I think either the Clubvan or the F56

[badwolf340]

keep your choices coming in peeps :thumbs up:

[Crombers]

For (in Karen's words "it's just a noise") sheer soundtrack (& also not bad looking for an R56 'fatty' :rolleyes:) I'll go for Williams GP, looking & sounding superb young sir :thumbs up:

[Neil - TXJ]

Considering it wasn't easy to identify the NMS cars today and we can't have a Mini calendar without a GP my vote goes for one if the GP - but which one? I will go with Williams simply as I prefer the black light surrounds.

[ELFMAN]

Either William's GP or Stavy's R53 for me... still deliberating :smilewinkgrin:

[Stavy]

Picture of Williams gp

[Sideways Steve]

I liked elfmans car, the black stripes work great with the white.

[weefossy]

As said on another post, I'd go for the Group picture with all the peps by their cars and put the Clubvan on the calendar front. Williams GP will be sure to make another month as it always looks stunning.

[DigitalLemming]

I'd have to go for Elfmans, close call between him and Stavy but Elfman just edges it this time :thumbs up:

[Gez]

Stavys r53 with ELFmans and eddies close behind.

[Crombers]

Group photo is a good call :yes nod:

[badwolf340]

well we allways could do that or make the group pic the front cover ..but its up to you all :thumbs up:

[Eddie]

I take it there is individual photos of each car. Who was the man taking pics as we left multi and where is his pics lol


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[badwolf340]

The old guy as we left was just a random I think

[MINI William]

I think there has been some confusion re the selection of a car for the calander after each event.

It is ment to be an NMS car selected by the NMS memebers that attended that specific event.

We have plans to have group photos in the calender etc along with some other bits

[Sideways Steve]

Well I'm sticking with elfmans car in that case :)

[ELFMAN]

Well I'm sticking with elfmans car in that case :)

£5 in the post :smilewinkgrin:

[badwolf340]

forgot to vote Eddie with the GTT :thumbs up:

[MINI William]

Looks like the group photo wins as a once off.

Can an the people from today's run please vote.

[DigitalLemming]

Close call between Eddie's GTT and Steve's R53 but this time Eddie edges it because I got to follow it for a good chunk of the run today :) and Steve got an egg anyway so doesn't really need to win this as well :lol:

[Eddie_JCW]

The Clubvan, we wouldn't have made it without coffee, biscuits/cakes and of course Easter eggs! ;)

[Sideways Steve]

I'm voting eddies jcw as I watched it change colour throughout the day ending up a lovely shade of brown ! Lol

Seriously though looked awesome even in the fog :)

[Eddie]

I vote David's wee red rocket :)

[Duncan Stewart]

I think the water splash should make a great photo and based on biggest splash I vote for Steve.

[Eddie]

Can I vote for Stoney's car to be added, if that car isn't in the calendar it just isn't right :thumbs up:

[Eddie_JCW]

I'd like to vote in the GPs, Williams car has been teasing me into buying mods all year and I don't think we can have one without the other, it's not the same :). I'm like Andrew I'll need to hunt for a great pic of my car ;)

How have I missed this thread ... I feel totally humbled !

I think had there been one I'd have picked one of the winning NMS stand at BMS or maybe that could be arranged with the trophy in front of the cars ..

Can I add that I think the big fellas car from MMM be included in this too don't think it's mentioned anywhere and the one with the storm troopers appears to be getting used all over the place.

Do you need me to supply a photo of my car is that correct ?

[Eddie]

Yeah I vote Craig and the troopers

[weefossy]

Guys, do we need to think about the format of the photo's? When I've made up the calendar of Neil's girls each year, I always keep the picture dimensions the same, usually 6' X 4' as this fits in with the formats used by Vistaprint etc. I normally crop each photo to that size, otherwise a lot of the photo space can be wasted trying to get it in. Just a thought.

Rob, whar about this one? I can e mail Brian a full resolution copy if needed.

I'll take 2 Brian - one for myself and the folks can have one for their Christmas :thumbs up:

That's the earliest I've ever sorted a christmas present in my life :lol:
