E30 Zone Calendar

[E30Adam]

Tech 1 rightness for sure... proper old skool.

[Dominitry]

Oh i have plenty pics of a tech 1

[Geeman]

Craig... tell you what, is there any chance you could either e-mail me some decent hi-res pics you've got of E30's to 'giles(at)gr-media.com' and I can put together an example or two of a calendar / desktop image for November 2005 or something... just as a taster

[Dan318-is]

email him some of c76jons evo 2

deffo a tantilising taster

I like this idea very much but i have noticed that it just seem's to be M3's and Sport's. Maybe no-one want's a picture of a zoner's 318i but it would only be the fact it's a 318i not that it might look good. Someone said that they would like to see their car on the calender but this won't happen with a vote choosing Sport's and M3's, very nice car's i think there should be a calender of meet's not just Zoner's Sport's.

For example.........

A few zoner's at a day on the roller's



Parked and ready for the roller's



One of the Drift King's, aka Davetouring



Old Skool badboyz in service's for Gaydon



Cheers,
Jon

[Dan318-is]

very good point dude

drifting i like especially

maybe this is where we need to take chaos' idea into practice with having more than one motor in a photo?

[Geeman]

Agreed... one of DaveTouring spinning the tits off his red beastie would be a good one!

[jonbuoy]

I also like the fact that even with age the E30 still look's just as modern, if not better than the car's of today................

Going onto Race track at Donnington Park

Giles, the file with a couple of high res pics ended up at 15mb and wont send via e mail, keeps failing, you got MSN?

[Geeman]

yup... gilesramsden(at)hotmail.com

[StefanReindl]

I'd buy one.

Be sure to include some ladies in the pics

[Lizzie]

I think that there should be a broad spectrum of E30s. I have always expressed that there shouldn't be any modelisms. I think that each model should be displayed from the 316 up to the M3, including convertibles and tourers too. Just because a car has been given a bigger engine does not mean that it should be included in the calendar. It needs to look good too. After all it is all to do with visual rather than performance.

I also think that the highly modded E30 should be included too, which would mean that Bootyman's prize possession is in the list.

As long as my car is featured...

[Geeman]

Okay... for a first attempt at creating an E30Zone calendar, I would like to submit the following for October at different screen resolutions:


Please bear in mind that a desktop calendar is different to a normal calendar!



As you can see, I've had to do very little to the images as Craig's photography skills are bloody good!

If we can get images of E30's that are this good all the time, then I think we'll have a great collection of desktop images. We could release them without the calendar bits after the month is out...

What do you all think?

Giles.

[Dominitry]

Giles, that's a work of art mate! i love the sky effect!!

[Geeman]

Cheers Craig... I had to extend the sky upwards a little as it wasn't quite tall enough, so had to add an 'effect' to mask it as I couldn;t quite get it to look correct... but like I said, it looks really good because of the excellent material I had to start off with.

Turned out okay though... it's on my desktop right now!

[Dominitry]

It's my reserved desktop for October

[Ceeman]

Awesome Giles....... that looks fantastic.....as they always do.

I think this idea is top class

I will have to get some good pics of mine when its finished having its make-over!! Maybe i could get it featured!

PS. We need to bring our business to a close, i will drop you an email sometime soon.

Keep up the great work.

[Geeman]

Phil... yeah, ok. Will await the e-mail fella.

[Ceeman]

Just a small point though, the font for the days seems a little small and blurry or is my eyesight

[Geeman]

will check. might have to shorten the day's names to make them a little bigger. Did think about this last night...

Edit: Images have been updated to include new 'readable' days...

[Ceeman]

Purrrfect

I'll cancel that sight test...

[Dan318-is]

absolutely genius guys

amazing photography as usual and love the effecs

deffo the best way to lay up the calender i think

[Geeman]

Phil... I know a good spectacle type person if you need one...

[Richy325iTouring]

one thing
if we have a definate line up of the cars that are going to be used then we need to arange a photoshoot for those cars if craig hasnt all ready got some decent pics of them.

[c76jon]

[Dominitry]

Only thing is i can see a bit of dirt in the pics....kidding lol, ty for the comment jon

[gazm3]

Very good Giles, and mine's behind Johns!.

[woodysjw]

We would have to have the photoshop'd pic from the Motorsport cab meet in there that photo is awesome

[Geeman]

I wouldn't mind seeing the 'un' photoshopped image... hang on, I'll see if I can get a hi-res image from Craig, along with a few other pics of the Motorsport meet and put a design together for the following month...

Giles.

[gazm3]

Slightly off the subject. I would say your mum's wrong Giles!.

[Geeman]

No... I am special. Got a back seat on the 'special coach with my name on it... there's lick marks on the rear window that I've made too...'

[gazm3]

Are you ok Giles?.

[billgatese30]

sounds about right to me gareth

[Geeman]

Yeah, I'm fine. Under a lot of pressure at the moment... I think the straps are too tight.

Busy busy busy as usual. Got 3 jobs on the go ATM... interview for a 4th on Friday... a support teacher for Technology... see how it goes. Short term thing to bring money in while the software development takes off... won;t be long now and I'll have a decent E30 back again...
