I hate to play the curmudgeon here, but I have had offers of at least 25 calendars this month for free. I took the 2008 Chev truck one to wipe my boots on before I get in the house.

I think we already missed the boat for 2008, and if you have a vote and democratic process, may be hard- pressed to make 2009.

Hey all,
I want to clear up that a theme is not needed it is just what I did. With that said, how do you pick and orginize only 12 slicks? When I did this I took some time to lay it out and had fun with it. I changed the order a couple times and even went back and changed a truck! They all have a story to tell and its fun to lay them out in some order IMO. I had the most fun with junk yard shots. I did not put a dry no leaves scene for June as that was reseved for the Nationals or something. Don't get caught up in this just pick 12 shots and go with it! I understand you did not get 12 shots, so pick your own. Like I said, its harder than it looks for all the reasons here!

One more thing, each member has 12 shots of his slick that could be their own personal calender if they wanted.

As far as Ford wanting in on the action, KMA

BMC Calendars: Approved by Ford & For Sale!
*** THANK YOU FORD ***

Get rid of those CENSOR graphics ... the calendar issue (and rights to print images of our own vehicles) has been resolved. After hearing from a few members of the Ford marketing and communications team, I have Ford approval to proceed with printing our 2008 calendar as-is as well as use Danni (and our other vehicles) in BMC logos and all the club marketing materials we have been thus far.

The 2008 BMC Calendar featuring the Members of the Month from 2007 is now on sale! I will not be using Cafepress for printing our calendar or any other materials as (1) they have not yet released our calendar for printing as (2) they are not compliant with Ford, and I do not want to support them for that reason. If you wish to order the now-famous calendar, please ORDER HERE through our own online store, and the calendars will ship in approximately 10 days.

Also, just as you emailed Ford, posted on your local forums and spread the word about this issue when it first arose, PLEASE follow-up with a 'thank you' email to Ford, and PLEASE post a link to this new thread on ALL the forums who have been discussing this issue. I appreciate Ford, and want to be sure we get the positive word out now that this is resolved.

Special thank you to Whitney, who has joined our forums and sent the following message:

My name is Whitney Drake and I work in Ford Communications.
We've been watching this discussion with interest and I'd like to
clarify what is essentially a misunderstanding.

Yesterday we spoke to both Cafe Press and the Black Mustang Club
and explained the situation (about the Black Mustang Club’s calendar) to everyone's satisfaction. Ford has no problem with Mustang or other car owners taking pictures of their vehicles for use in club materials like calendars. What we do have an issue with are individuals using Ford’s logo and other trademarks for products they intend to sell. Understandably, we have to take the protection of our brands and licensing very seriously.

Ford did not send the Black Mustang Club a “cease and desist” letter telling them that they could not use images of their own cars in their calendar. The decision not to allow the calendars to be printed was made by Cafe Press, because we had gotten in touch with them in the past about trademark infringements on products they sold.

The Black Mustang Club, and any other Ford enthusiast club, are free to take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials as long as they don't use Ford trademarks in products that will be sold.

I think it is great that the Black Mustang Club, and any other enthusiast club, would take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials.

I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy to hang in the garage next
to my Mustang (even if mine isn't black).

Thanks for giving us the chance to have our say. ----------------------------------------

Please take a moment to send Whitney an e-gift here through the forums to thank her for working with us to get this resolved, and for wanting the calendar, too! She's been a great help and I'll continue to work with Whitney and the Ford team, so welcome her to the BMC family!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. I'm enjoyed hearing from all of you who have written with words of encouragement and support. Thank you very much for greatly extending the BMC family this week!

YEEE HAAAWW!! Now, the only issue is if there is enough interest in our group to put one out? My two Slicks are not anything that I would consider for a calendar that people would actually put up on a wall somewhere.
