SEC Calendars 2023 - ordering

[Stratos Fear]

Hi Guys - I've just swum (or should that be surfed ?) back from Cornwall and have been checking out PayPal. (It's been incredibly wet here in the UK over the last few weeks)

So as far as I can ascertain you can order and pay for the calendars through Paypal. This will involve you sending ?16 per calendar to my PayPal account -Peter Cutler@2023 Calendar 492 (no doubt you will all appreciate the significance of the 492) The last 3 digits apparently being essential for the PayPal set-up. If that doesnt work try the PayPal me thing below : (as you have probably gathered I'm not very good at this technical stuff). Please arrange the payments as "Family and Friends " - or PayPal will deduct a 76 pence fee and the Club will only receive ?15.24 p


This charge allows a small profit for the Club and the postage is a standard charge for all members including our relatively few members from overseas. This year we bought 50 calendars because in previous years we have bought more and ended up throwing quite a lot away - so we'll have to see how it goes. If we need more we'll buy more.

On payment I will post out all the calendars as required. Can you please ensure that I get your postal address either as part of your PayPal account details or if you wish to do it separately by e:mail - my address is cutlerpj@aol.com

Thank you - and let the orders commence !

Peter

[Normb666]

Pete, on behalf of all members, I just want to say Thanks for once more stepping up to the plate and doing all this. And I don't care what anyone else says, I actually enjoy spotting the mistakes :) :)

For all those who posted on the original calendar thread saying they want one, can you please (re)order as requested by Pete, as above, as he's easily confused trying to keep up with more than one thing at a time and therefore you won't get one. ;)

Cheers!

[hollytree]

I saw a copy of the calendar at the NEC when manning the stand.
I am Mr January - so to speak!!
I have ordered 3 copies - one for me and Tree (wife) one for my mum and one for a young lad we met at a show in the summer who is having a hard time but fell in love with a Stratos (we have kept in touch)

[Phubb]

Well no one has reported one yet - but no doubt it will be a different story when everyone has received their copy !

[Stradale493]

Order for 1 placed via PayPal (address included).
Let me know if any problems.
Many thanks to all involved,

[Stratos Fear]

Query - as a relative newbie to the delights of PayPal - I find myself in a state of confusion !

So far I have received about 25 orders and have received payment notifications from PayPal - which is obviously good - However I am getting payments of ?16 (which is exactly right) and payments of ?15.24 with the 76 pence difference being charged as a Fee ? Can any one tell me what is going on? If I spend half a day on PayPal I can probably work it out but I wondered if any one can point out something obvious that I have missed. If we can identify the correct method maybe we can cancel the "incorrect" orders and arrange for them to be correctly posted without the fee deduction.

Are there different types of orders - and have I mistakenly posted 2 methods of payment - one of which charges a fee?

[Stradale493]

As I understand it there are two basic options; one is for sending money to "friends and family" with no fees applied. The other is for sending money to "businesses" and charges the recipient a small fee. When I sent my payment I manually search for you and selected the former (no fee) option.
Not sure what happens to people who click the "link"

[Stratos Fear]

Thanks Graham - I think you have identified the issue. I have a vague recollection of someone mentioning this once before and had completely forgotten about it. I will amend the instruction on my early post. We are all "Family and Friends" ! . I have 5 orders that have the fee deducted - which I'll leave - but all future orders please please transfer as " Family and Friends." and directed at my account Peter Cutler. I have deleted the link which I think was causing the problem.

Thanks

Peter Cutler

[Guy Mayers]

Just checked and I'm one of the guilty ones for sending it to a business... I've sent the extra 76p Peter to add to your confusion!

Thanks for dealing with this on our behalf!

Guy

[Ilmor]

PayPal sent for 2-calendars. Have also PM'd you Peter.

[Moxox]

Many thanks for arranging this - I've ordered and paid for one.
Marcus

[Stratos Fear]

Cant order the calendar I have entered Petercutler@2023Calendar492 but just keeps coming up not recognised on PayPal any idea what is going wrong.

I had a bit of trouble with that too. Playing with spaces sorted it out - try 'Peter Cutler @2023Calendar492' i.e. with spaces after Peter and Cutler.

[Stratos Fear]

Thanks Jon for clarifying this. Just read your brief biog. - Camaro with 730bhp - WOW ! That must have been difficult to keep in a straight line off the start line!

[Kenny m]

Bingo, got it ordered thanks for the help. Address attached to the PayPal payment.

Actually, on a sticky drag strip, with 14 inch wide ultra-soft slicks, not too hard. They actually spray traction compound (essentially glue) on the whole track, so traction is normally pretty perfect. One notable exception was when the car was new, and I suffered from that problem that can also affect Stratos replicas too - fibreglass doors filling up with water when the car is left out in the rain. On the next hard launch, it found it's way under those slick tyres, and that definitely got my attention! I kept it out of the barrier but it was the snakiest run I ever did. We drilled some drain holes after that...

[Neil63]

Calendar just arrived. Great quality and a nice selection of shots and cars. I like the landscape format this year. A nice Bruce bonus it’s my 60th in April so thanks for that.

Peter, thanks again for all your work in putting this together and posting out.

Neil

[David J]

Calendar arrived safely today and looks very good, I also like the the new landscape format. Thank you for all the work you have put in to produce 2023 Club calendar.

Many thanks

Nice job, thanks again.

[renmure]

Got mine. Many thanks.
Slightly concerned that there were 11 non-Alitalia imposters in there but I guess it's Christmas

:D

[Longtimefan]

Got mine. Many thanks.

There are quite a few of us who want a bit of individuality, and don’t want to follow the herd (Reindeer of course)

Calendar arrived today thanks Peter for all your good input and time
Merry Christmas

[hollytree]

Peter
Calendars arrived today. Great work and thanks.
One problem is you listed my car as a Lister Bell - Mr January (so to speak)
I am sure Craig would not want to be associated with it.
It is in fact a Corse I (of unknown lineage), though John would call it a mongrel.
Happy xmas all

That's it, I demand a product recall and a reprint........:mad::rolleyes:;):cool:


It is in fact a Corse I (of unknown lineage),

It's a Corse I without question, whether it be of the CAE or Napiersport era, so hardly a mongrel.

Very kind of you to say. I was referring to the way the chassis and main tub were "assembled" by various parties at various times!

[Strat Fan]

Very kind of you to say. I was referring to the way the chassis and main tub were "assembled" by various parties at various times!
It is still Corse parts fitted to a Corse chassis irrespective of who fitted them and over what time period.
There are a few kits out there which I think are maybe better described as mongrels but not in a detrimental way. "Hybrids" used to be a more apt term but that has a new meaning nowadays!
Darkspeed's Corse I would be the ideal candidate, a Litton Corse chassis which was initially fitted with Hawk/Transformer body work after Litton's disappearance from the marketplace.
This was then later cut about in a restyling exercise before being sold to Darkspeed who has removed what was left of the Hawk body, replaced that with an LB body set and is now rebuilding/reengineering the rest from the ground up.
Anyway, thread hijack over, back to the calendars.....

[hollytree]

Craig
Thankyou for your positivity as always
Regards
Steve

PS Flat spoiler now gone and new one underway.
Thans to Craig - supplier, Phil - transporter to NEC, Robin & Norm - concealers under cars at NEC through night, Chris - new decals and Bob - West Lane Garage near me who is painting.

[Phubb]

Calendar arrived yesterday - thanks. Landscape format is great.

I must say it was a pleasant surprise to see my aging Allora appear for the first time in the calendar - and on on the front cover along with David Jowsey's and the LB ensemble.
I might just leave it unopened all year !!

[Darkspeed]

Maybe one day she will get to be a calendar girl, she's had a tough upbringing and getting named SiD did not help ;) Hybrid, Mongrel, Bitsa, but above all...... Special ;) Plus she's a Q so I don't know if I'm even using the correct pronoun....

[Stratos Fear]

Thanks for positive feedback on the calendar format - it turned out pretty well and the other plus point this year is that the paper doesnt have the high-gloss finish that you cant write on !

- and Steve glad to see you spotted this year's deliberate mistake ! It has often been said that I cant tell my Corse from my LB - so in this instance probably correct !!

[AndyLB]

"It has often been said that I cant tell my Corse from my LB"
Very good!!! ;););)

[sdebez]

Just sent my order. Thanks for the work in putting this together.

Sach. Definitely a Corse ��

[ProtoTipo]

Ordered by email Peter,

Thanks for doing this.

[Stratos Fear]

Sach - can you send me your address please. Thanks Peter

[ProtoTipo]

Sach - can you send me your address please. Thanks Peter

I'll send you a PM with mine too Peter.

[Kenny m]

Received mine today. Great job thanks for all the work.

[Stratos Fear]

I've got 10 calendars left - any more orders ? Order now and you should get them before Christmas (UK anyway)

[AndyGuyton]

Just placed my order Peter.

[Steve65]

Hi Peter, just placed an order through PayPal transfer. Many thanks for all your time to offer this for the club again.
Cheers Steve

[Stratos Fear]

Thanks Steve - hope you included address details ? - if not please e:mail to cutlerpj@aol.com. Thanks P

[Stratos Fear]

thanks Andy - it's shortly on its way.

[VeloceWhippet]

I received my calendar today. Thank you for putting this together. It looks great.

Hung it up already next to my Stratos. Of course, I'm still waiting for my Hawk kit, so it's just Stratos parts at this point :(.

Happy Xmas all

[Stephen Gregory]

HI Peter

all the best for Christmas and 2023
regards
stephen

[Griff]

Peter, I've pm'd you, I'm still struggling to get the money to you by PayPal, grrr!!!

[Stratos Fear]

John - I think I've unravelled the mystery of the PayPal address. You dont need to enter my name as a payment recipient just enter " @2023Calendar492 " - (no spaces) and my name will pop up with this address attached. Please enter your payment as for "family and friends"

Hope this helps

Peter

[Griff]

Paid, many thanks

[hollytree]

I mentioned before that Tree (wife) and I met a young lad (age 9) in care at one of the local classic shows in the summer. He was really taken by the Stratos and had lots of photos sitting in it.
We met up with him and a carer in Skipton car park on Sunday and gave him a Stratos calendar for xmas. I took him for a quick spin around the icy car park.
We later got a message that on the way back to his residential home he said "it was the best day out ever" 3 times.

Everyone loves a Stratos, and I hope that it put some joy into his life.

Happy xmas all
Steve & Tree

[Stratos Fear]

That's a touching story Steve and Tree - lovely to hear that you were able to bring such joy to a disadvantaged youngster and hopefully something to inspire him - and to aspire to - as he grows up.
Seasons greetings to all.
P

[ProtoTipo]

Well done Steve.
'Nice one.

[Longtimefan]

Well done both of you, absolutely fantastic.

Happy Christmas to all.

[Kenny m]

Lovely story especially at this time of year

[David J]

Nice story. Here is a bit more Christmas cheer a repeat showing of last years Girardo video for anyone that might have missed it.

When I first starting building my car, there was a video on YouTube of a white Stratos parked inside Palma airport (I think it was Palma), with Elton John song "sorry seems to be the hardest word". Does anyone know where this video is plz

[Azzo42]

Steve, it was also heart warming witnessing you letting young fans sit in your car at the Silverstone Classic earlier this year. Have a great Christmas everyone.
