Majestics 2011 Calendar

It went on holidays to NZ you idiots. It's Australian made.

You dont have to fill out paperwork to let you back into the country if you go on holidays! Mind you, the search is still done!

A whipper snipper will solve that problem I wouldn't like anyone laying on the escort,as its made out of old coke cans.

Thats a little scary as Daewoo's are made out of recycled Escort vans, oh yeh and those legs sound a little scary too

Bloody holden drivers, you have it wrong again they make suzuki's out of escort p/vans

hahaha

i must admit i dont like many imports. but my r34 i really like it is a very nice car, and nice to drive, and ill miss it but only for a short while, back to V8 goodness in one more sleep (ill prob miss the skyline for a very long time actually)

How about this one Perry?

Great photo Jon.

whats that dirty old brown trans-am with an over inflated opinion of it's self doing there?

Thats as far as it got before it stopped for about the 10th time. They always stuff up when it's raining. She stopped about 5 times on that cruise, till we pulled the carby apart and cleaned it out. Went great than! Even had the coppers stop and offer to help!
That was the last time Checkmate went on a cruise, Easter 2009? or was it 2008? Been parked up since.

Love the picture, although I'm not sure that the one at the end (far end) is really a van....

Do you have a hi-res version by any chance? Would make a great cover picture.

can i have a copy of that pic? highest res. might make a poster out of it, van history

So what year was it taken 2008 or 2009? Cause that'll tell me the last time I drove the old girl.

2009, 2008 was at Rhino's rusty letter box

Been awhile since I drove her than, easter 2009!

I will put my hand up for a calender guy's.

Cheers Tony.

Ok folks, I've been busy on this and I have a present for you:

Some comments:
1. It's about 10Mb to download - but hopefully it will be worth it

2. We may not go with the pictures as used. If anyone has a strong objection or opinion, I'm happy to discuss by phone or in a PM (if you don't want to make it public here). I'm thinking of putting up a bunch of picture and taking a vote. I have a feeling that some of the pictures I've used are not hi-res enough for good print, so if anyone has a really good hi-res shot of their van they would like me to use, please let me know.

3. I haven't got costs as yet. If people are happy with the concept, I'll take it to a printer and see what happens.

4. I've asked for permission to use the picture on the back page. If it's refused, I'll do something else.

Cheers

Is that the before or after photo!
Sell it on ebay Andrew, one owner with books always garaged in original condition!

You did well to find one in such original condition mate. Only has rust in the usual places and the rest of the body is totally rust free!

They are getting harder to find in that condition, most have had a heap of bog slapped in them and bodgey resprays! Be getting close to road worthy too by the looks of it.

I've seen worse on ebay! That's cool - I expect to have pictures of yours (and other vans being built) ready for the 2012 calendar.

it does have character, can we have some of what you all have had???

Still waiting for a h-res copy of that picture with you on the bonnet. We need to add some glamour to the calendar!
