    I have a proof in my hand. It will probably go to press Friday night or first thing next week. The only thing that is not to my liking is I wanted to have a calendar with a 8 1/2 x 11 photo. Do to the quality of the pictures.(and I do NOT mean that in a bad way!) I was not satisfied with what they looked like blown-up to that size. So I settle on a 5 x 8 1/2 photo. I know I said before that if I did not get the product I wanted, I would not do it. But, I want to let everyone know that I was serious about producing this product, so I am going to go ahead with it. I just want to stress the fact that this is something that I am going to do again next year. This was a learning process and I really want to(and I have the equipment to) produce a top quality, professional calendar. This is the type of thing I do everyday and have done for the last 15 years. But I need top quality photo's. The plan for next year is: I will be printing the 2004 calendar in late June or ealry July.( I want them ready for the round-up) I am going to need first class, top quality photo's turn into me by June 1st. I will keep on reminding everyone through the early part of next year. I know we always talk about doing things to promote our passion(mavs. & comets) I am willing to put the work into producing a product, I need you guys & gals to get my good photo's. Thanks for listening!

    hey john, I can't wait, make sure you post order information so I can order one from you.


    Just a note, if anyone has a 2 megapixel digital camera or better, bring it to the car shows and snap pix of all the mavs, those dig cameras put out some great pictures!
