Hey David, the calendar looks great. All that's missing is a green beauty from Bahrain.

Wonderful work sir. I will take one of the simple versions ( assuming the postage from Bahrain to Newfoundland is less than an engine rebuild )
For those of us in the more remote locations , why not consider a price for a commercial quality PDF ? Then we could bring that to a local print shop and have it printed on our own.

Default PDF of A3 print for Flip calendar

Barry,

That's a brilliant idea. Not just the cost for printing, but speedier delivery, but only for those with a decent print shop nearby. Note that as it's a flip calendar so all the pages are double sided, and seem to be out of order and sometimes upside down.

This is how I wanted it to look, folded on the centre line.


I went with glossy paper 140gsm generally with a 300 gsm cover page. The PDF copy of the configured A3 hi-res print is too big to download here on this forum but if enough people ask for it, I'll make other arrangements.

Default Jaguar Heritage Trust - Donations via Paypal

Gents,

For those of you insisting on paying for the calendar, I'm was in correspondence with Jaguar Heritage in the UK to organize donations. Link to their website below.
https://www.jaguarheritage.com/vehicle-collection/

(quote) "Good morning,

Thank you for considering our trust for donations. All proceedings are put towards the work of the JDHT in its role of preserving the heritage of Jaguar and its predecessor companies for the future, so any help is appreciated.

Our PayPal account is finance@jaguarheritage.com

If you have any questions please let me know and thank you again.

Kind Regards,

Shihanki Elpitiya

Administration Assistant

Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust

Tel: 00 44 (0) 24 7656 4420"


So when/if the calendar arrives (Bahrain post is very slooooow!), please feel free to make a suitable donation to the Trust. I would suggest a figure of approx. USD20.

Count at the moment is 10 Simples and 12 Funnies.

Default Simple Classic Calendars .... posted

Quick update - 10 versions of the Simple Classic version of the calendar have been posted. Destinations included UK, USA, Canada, Puerto Rico and Italy.

Let me know when and where you received it, as Bahrain post is so sloooow.

Slight delay in the “Funnies” version as I found a photo of a “crashed” XK8 so am trying to put that in. Trouble is the photo is quite dark and needs photoshop help.

Will keep you updated.

David, If you need some photoshop work done on it, you can post it here. I can download it and fix it for you.

Hi David,

If you're looking for a photo of a crashed XK8, maybe I can help.
Personally, I wouldn't really consider it a "funny" but you're welcome to use it
After all, an XK8 is mostly just metal and glass...

Hope it arrives by Xmas. As I'm a bit late sending it, I've removed the Dec 2019 month and replaced it with January 2021.

Default PDF copy of the Simple Classic Calendar - Part 1

Gents,

Further to Barry's suggestion, please find attached the Simple calendar PDF copy (in two parts as attachments limited to 5MB per post) for home DIY printing. Please note it's formatted for an A3 portrait double sided print run, with the intent that it's flip style, folded on the centre line and stapled.

Received my calendar today in the mail. Bahrain to Kansas, USA. Very nice quality - much better stock than expected and the photos chosen are splendid. My teenage son saw it, immediately appropriated it & redirected it from my intended use, and it now proudly hangs in his room.

David!

When I arrived at home today I was surprised to see that I received mail from you. It was very thoughtful of you to include a copy of the calendar for me. It is beautiful and nicely done. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you for the nice Christmas gift.

David,

Calendars arrived today. Even better in real life! Especially like the July page, it looks just like mine.

As I said its a great job. Delighted with them thank you.

Hope you don't mind I have sent a donation in your name to one of our local Hospice's. St Michaels. They do a great job and always put their patients first. There is always someone worse off than ourselves.

Keep up the good work. Have a lovely Christmas.

Thanks again.

FrankC

Mine arrived this morning in sunny () Jersey. I think the postage stamps are the largest I've ever seen!

David - top job: thanks so much, and all the best to you and yours.

Mike
