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

It is still Corse parts fitted to a Corse chassis irrespective of who fitted them and over what time period.Quote:

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.....
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.
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 !!
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....
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 !!
"It has often been said that I cant tell my Corse from my LB"
Very good!!! ;););)
Just sent my order. Thanks for the work in putting this together.
Sach. Definitely a Corse ��
Ordered by email Peter,
Thanks for doing this.
Sach - can you send me your address please. Thanks Peter

I've got 10 calendars left - any more orders ? Order now and you should get them before Christmas (UK anyway)
Just placed my order Peter.
Hi Peter, just placed an order through PayPal transfer. Many thanks for all your time to offer this for the club again.
Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve - hope you included address details ? - if not please e:mail to cutlerpj@aol.com. Thanks P
thanks Andy - it's shortly on its way.
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 :(.

Peter, I've pm'd you, I'm still struggling to get the money to you by PayPal, grrr!!!
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
Paid, many thanks
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
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
Well done Steve.
'Nice one.
Well done both of you, absolutely fantastic.
Happy Christmas to all.
Lovely story especially at this time of year
Nice story. Here is a bit more Christmas cheer a repeat showing of last years Girardo video for anyone that might have missed it.

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.
