How about another calendar that shows the absolute worst 928s out there (neglected barn finds and lawn ornaments)?

I'm curious, why would anyone submit a photo for possible publication with a date stamp in the image? Can't stand date stamps - even in snapshots.

Read the manual. You can turn it off.

if a picture is chosen that has the date stamp, I will photoshop it out. Not going to waste my time on them otherwise.

That would be my POS '82. Great car! Drove pi$$ out of it till the throw out bearing went. One of the pics shows parts to fix that.

I turn date of when needed but mostly it is on because sometimes it's nice to know when a shot was taken. It started when I posted pics of the car in a different place every day for two months in the random picture thread.

I admit I uploaded a few too many by accident and couldn't figure out how to delete them. But what the hey, just don't vote for them. After all, they are mostly junk pictures of a "neglected barn find" that certainly wasn't a "lawn ornament". There might be one or two in there though that are worthy.

Sorry. I intended to post most of them, just not the duplicates.

I'll definitely buy a calendar and should that little red car actually be one of the chosen, I might buy a few.

Sorry, didn't intend to pick on you specifically, but the date stamp in the image is a pet peeve of mine - frankly, I hate it. If you want to know when it was taken, just mouse over the image and you should be able to read the "meta" data - date taken, camera used, etc. no need to ruin the image with a stamp...

It's quite handy, though, when documenting project progress.

Wish I had it turned on for this one.

Bump to bring back on front page.

12 people have voted not including myself. Reserving my vote as final tie breaker if needed.
6 of the pics have 4 or more votes.
70 have at least one vote.
19 have 3 votes.
The most votes any one picture has received is 6.

If you voted before the new pics were added, you need to vote again.

There are some nice shots in the mix. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. When will they be ready for public consumption?

Will set up a web page to take orders when the voting closes and the pictures are set and I have picked an on-demand printer so I know the exact costs. Should be within 2 weeks.
