My Ride: 02" Porsche Carrera 911
I think this would be a GREAT IDEA, we make a calender of some of the members nicely modded E60's, does anyone here know howto make one or have the skills to make it.
Members would send in nice high res pics of their cars, and 12 are picked.
charge just enough to cover the cost and small profit for the person who spent time doing it, and then the Rest of the money goes to E60.net itself!!
So what do you think?
i nominate my car ofcourse, Knighcoms, imsorofabigdeal,freedom...umm Lets just say we make it a Black E60 calender..lol

Agreed. I am already doing this for Bimmerfest. You're a few months too late for 2008 but now is the time to start for 2009.
See the write-up on the main Bimmerfest page at http://www.bimmerfest.com/
The problem is that there is not sufficient margin to really bring in a lot of money (to anyone) unless there is a LOT of sales volume.
Most calendars sell for under $20, many in the $15 range. You have to be able to produce a high-quality calendar at a slightly lower cost than this price point for this to work.

I think most members here would not mind paying $19.99 for the calender as long as they feel some of the proceeds goto the forum.
ps: i used to post on Bimmerfest, but i got sick of all the Muslim and mid east bashing that goes on there! Everytime i would click on NEW POSTS it would be some jerkoff degrading all Muslims in a topic, i could not believe it!! it got to a point where i didn't even have time to look at anything with the cars,had to just defend all the Attacks on muslims! it was crazy! anywhoooooooooooo

The only way to do this is to use an on-demand printing service that generates each calendar as it?s ordered. Otherwise whatever you don?t sell is unsold inventory and takes away from your chances of any profit.

I know people (well, some people) will bash others for no reason other than ingrained prejudice and that is very unfortunate in today?s world where we all have to coexist.

...being a foreigner myself having lived in austria for nearly my entire life, I know how things have changed and how prejudice now dictates daily life. with time, you learn to live with it and move on because you learn to appreciate all the good people around you...

As for payment, why not run it in the same way as we do the Contributions, i.e. via the E60.NET (-Lomag/Mark) or another Paypal account?
