As I'm sure you know, Axel Gerstl also do a Fiat calendar, largely for the 500 but they do sometimes feature the 126 and 600. I suspect some members may be getting the AG calendar too, so it might be worth seeing what sort of layout and theme AG have, and then aiming for something different, so that folks buying both don't think you've simply copied AG's ideas.

Sorry, I can't offer any HD resolution pix, only box brownie standard. but count me in for one too.

Thanks.

I wasn't aware that they do make a calendar, I will have a look, ours will be a more personalised Calendar which is good I think :)

Does that mean you would be wanting one Rusty? 33hours is quick?! Crazy! Have a good trip!

We are up to 15 now, 16 including Rusty, which is not bad really! I'm very happy with the interest in this :)

Kepp your pictures coming! I have emailed you back with a preview of one picture of your car to see if you like it...

Please be honest as I can change them to suit :)

So far we are up to 20 people wanting a Calendar...

Ok, the Calendar is almost all put together, I have 2 spaces left for photos which are December and September, I've had lots of photos from people which is brilliant!

December I was thinking of a restoration month and then the next person to send me a picture will take Sept..

If anyone has any restoration photos that they would like to see on the resto page then email them over please, going to make a collage of all our restorations!

Please do, Ladislav. All I would say is that out of 12 photos, having one of a kit car (or any similar variant) is perhaps a disproportionate representation. I would imagine for the first calendar the overall 'brand image' might be best to showcase the 126 as just that - the 126.

Then perhaps a future year could showcase derivatives and variants, such as kit cars, race/rally cars, engine swap cars, rag tops, custom chops (eg Lil' Rod) and that sort of thing.

I agree to a point, but at the same time as a club, we have lots of variants on the 126, that aren't necessarily 'kit cars' as such but aren't strictly 126's :) There are restoration images, single car shots and multiple car shots too.

There is only 1 'kit car' as such in the calendar, which is 126fan's the rest are 126s :)

Ok all, the Calendar is finished, I haven't had the room to put in a restoration page due to having lots of interest with photos!!

So far this is the list of people that would like one...

-   Tom (Kent126)
-   Chris
-   Mark (dadnlad)
-   Puddlejumper (Ralph)
-   Bambino126
-   Danthemanic
-   Dombooth
-   Gadge
-   Dave (mintex)
-   CharlieBrown
-   Wojciech
-   Martyn (Dixie)
-   Drcdb15
-   Ladislav (1973/126)
-   Garry ( Bar Vitelli)

We have 21 in total so far that need to be ordered, a couple of people are getting multiple which is why there aren't 21 names. I will give it a couple of days for anyone else to say they want one or if they dont then I will order them..

Now I wonder if anyone could help, AvB has said that he would like one but in Cuba they do not have any way of making internet payment, any ideas from anyone how this could be sorted?

If you are definately wanting a Calendar please email me on [email protected] with your name, address and how many you would like, once I have an accurate number of people wanting a Calendar I will work out the price, as it stands if we sell 21 Calendars the price will be..

£7.72 - This is including the envelopes etc etc

Let me know!

Chris
