Viper Calendar - IT'S ALIVE!!

Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Greetings! As the previous thread was getting heavy, I decided to close it and start a new one here. For those that have missed it, this is a Viper owners project brought to you by Viperclub.org (this website). It is a custom calendar featuring the best pictures of the best Vipers: <u><FONT COLOR="red">YOURS!</FONT c></u>

Yep, the finest GTS's and RT/10's on the planet will be on this inexpensive custom calendar. This is a NONPROFIT deal: It is by owners for owners. Nobody makes a penny, except perhaps the calendar company. YOU will choose the images that appear in your calendar. You can even choose the month that they appear. This is YOUR calendar built to YOUR specifications. How about that!

Jon McGuire has been tirelessly working on the images sent thus far. His work is phenomenal! He started with some pretty awesome pictures and made them even better. Each is customized with the information about the car and it's owner. It also includes some nifty graphics from this site. Now, because we have been given permission to use the Viper logo, you MUST BE A VCA MEMBER TO ORDER THIS CALENDAR. Sorry, no exceptions.

So, <FONT size="4"> click here to see your Viper calendar project so far! </FONT s>

The cost for your custom Viper calendar will be $19.75 each, including shipping. You can choose from the images in the page linked above, or wait a few days for others to be added. If you haven't sent a picture and would like to have yours featured as well, please e-mail me a high resolution photo ASAP. The deadline for pictures is next Wednesday, January 16th. Hope you like what we have done so far!

You guys are awesome!! Chris and Jon, how do we even begin to thank you properly for all the work you guys are obviously putting into this. How fortunate we are to have such dedicated members, willing to put in countless hours, for something that is for the entire clubs enjoyment. A customized calendar, built to our own specifications...WOW

Thanks again!!!! The pictures look great, excellent job with the images. When it is complete, and you and Jon have decided on your own calendars, let me know, they will be on me

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

looks great, what an excellent idea, truly!

sad thing is, you know you spend too much time on the board when I can name at least 10 of the owners of the cars listed, sad............I gotta break down and buy one, enough of this 'research' stuff!!!!

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Sweet mother of Christ, those are some good pictures.

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

I just added quite a few more calendar pictures to the calendar project gallery page and hope you will take a peek to see the latest! There are literally DOZENS more pictures that will be available besides these. We are trying to find the owners names and locations (viperlarsen - your e-mail doesn't work!) and will post those thumbnails as soon as they are completed. I will be updating this page at least once a day, so take a look!

You know what Tony, I was thinking the very same thing. Chris...GET TO BED!!!!

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Okay, a couple answers to previous questions:

1. The deadline for pictures is Wednesday, January 16th. Now, that is NOT to say that you won't be able to submit a photo later than that and have it in your calendar. HOWEVER, it may not appear in the gallery and it may not get Jon McGuire's fantastic graphics.

2. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for you, the best way for payment will probably be through me, as I have all of the photos and can send them to the calendar company the easiest. DO NOT start sending me money now, but when the final gallery is listed I will post my address for payment. For those that have started sending me lists - WAIT! There are a few images you will want to see before you make your final decisions. Trust me.

3. You can start your calendars on any month you wish. I see no reason you couldn't order calendars for 2002, 2003 or 2014. However, I might suggest that you wait to order a calendar for next year, because I have this sneaky suspicion that you will see more of an "official" effort next fall.

4. It was actually 1:52 am before I was able to finish sending the latest batch of images to Jon for his artistry. And I started a new job this morning at 8:00 am. Rest assured that Jon and I are enjoying this and are more than happy to do this when we know some folks appreciate it. My motivation was poor Andrew and the fact he didn't know what day it was. I still can't help but shed a tear for those sad, lost Viper owners out there...

Chris, Glad to hear you found work. Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck in your new job.

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

So, Today is Tuesday. Even though I don't have the calendar yet, I am more aware of the days now.

Yep, I don't think any of uus should order for the next few years now. Chris and Jon will be hard acts to follow, so let's see how the "Official" guys will rise to the occasion. This should definately be a discussion for VOI 7.

By the way, I want 5.
Thakns,
Andrew

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Just a heads up, you

<center><FONT size="6"> better take another look!</FONT s><FONT size="1">(click here)</FONT s> </center>

There are some AWESOME shots to choose from (approaching 50 now) with LOTS more to come (at least another 15). Don't forget, the deadline for submitting photos is TOMORROW at midnight. Poor Jon McGuire has been burning both ends of the candle to add the graphics to these wonderful photos. Assuming he shows up in Nashville for VOI7, he should never be buying his own drinks!

Watch for more updates tonight...

Chris

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

OH, now this is really getting confusing, so many great pictures!! Maybe I could get calendars for the next 30 years or so!!! Great job guys, keep em comin'

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

I added seven more calendar images tonight: Click here to see them

Now, as there are 54 smaller images with at least a dozen left to go, would anyone prefer I break that page into two galleries? I don't know how many folks are on dial up and need to wait while all those images download. I don't want to be a burden on anybody, so please let me know if you are having trouble viewing that page. There are some real beauties that have yet to make an appearance, but will shortly. Thanks for your continued interest!

Chris

PS. If you are seeing less than 54 images, that is because your browser is looking at the cached (stored) page you viewed previously. Hold down your "Ctrl" button and then click on reload to get the fresh page. Works everytime!

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Awww-
Too many of those 97 red/black stripes with WING pictures...
and WHO is that RED 98 GTS with WA plates????

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Paul, I don't see yours in there or the dolphin viper either?

I think the dolphin viper is at a car lot in downtown Seattle. Why don't you run up there and snap a few photos for us Paul? I'm sure everyone would want it in their calendar.

On a serious note, GREAT photos everyone. Now I have to buy multiple calendars just so I can get all the photos I like.

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

looks great.... thanks for all the time you all have put into this....

I was ready to send my calendar request in, but then more pictures were added.... is there a point when all the available pics will be up for picking?

also, not to be a pain, but it would be nice know which pics are very high resolution, so I know I'll get high quality outputs....

I have set a deadline of midnight TONIGHT for picture submission. That will let Jon catch up on his real work and his sleep at some point. We are hoping to have ALL of the pictures posted to the "gallery" by Friday night or so. I am still missing information on some of these photos (e-mails sent to those in question), so some may appear without the owner information. There is no point in sending in your "order" right now, as there WILL be more pictures to choose from and you don't want to miss them.

As to which are high resolution, we have set the resolution on all of the photos to the exact same size recommended by the calendar company. What you see in the "thumbnails" is what you will get. That is why some of the pictures have "frames" - they were too small to be printed full-size on their own. The pictures should all turn out well, and I will probably send in a "test calendar" tonight to see how it turns out. Fingers crossed that the calendar company is as good as Jon McGuire!

When it is time to start placing orders, I will make a new post. I am not entirely sure how to do this the best way. The problem is that they require payment UP FRONT. I can use my own plastic to place orders, but will NOT do this until I have money in hand from those ordering. Sorry, but I cannot afford to "float" what will end up being over 100 calendars, especially if some decide later they don't want their custom calendar. I would enter in your mailing information with the order so that the calendar was shipped directly to you. The other option is to send you the 12 images you want and let you place the order yourself. My goal was to make this as simple as possible for everybody - except myself of course. Not to worry, I knew what I was getting into as soon as I opened my big mouth...

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

WOW! Jon has been working triple overtime and we have added TWENTY ONE new images to the calendar gallery page! And guess what? We ain't done yet!

Be sure to check it out and see some of these great new images, including Nadine's awesome "Dirty Viper" shot (probably not what you are thinking). See if you can read Jon's caption on that one - it's definitely on my "must order" list!

DO NOT send me your request list yet. There are more pictures that will be in the gallery, including one or two I think many will want. Enjoy, and be patient while all those pictures (76!) download...

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Getting closer! Two more nifty images just added. Ever seen a YELLOW Viper engine? Ed Rist was kind enough to send us a picture of his for the calendar.

We are literally just a day or two from the ordering process and the calendars will get started. I would strongly recommend you start your calendar with February, 2002, as January will be about over by the time you get your calendars in hand. Oh, and you can indeed order calendars through 2005! Your call...

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

sounds good.... my pic was actually over twice the required resolution...

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

When viewing those all those gorgeous calendar photos, I just LOVE the little colored Vipers that follow the cursor around the screen! I have the "Comet" Viper GTS cursor logo on my PC, but is there any way where / way please, I can download the little Coupes that chase after the cursor, they just tickle me pink!

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

Is it time to send money?

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Re: Viper Calendar - IT\'S ALIVE!!

It is indeed time to send in your order. Read all about it here.

As we have the new "order" thread open, I will close this one. Thanks for your continued interest!
