It's not happenin' at my end Marc....sorry. But as my mate suggested, if you have a photo printer.....cheap ebay ink and cheapo ring binder may work out cheaper than going to a genuine printers...and not far off the same quality. Tesco will print them at £10 each...but a bit steep I think....not sure if they discount on multiple orders as they do with other photo bits.

Nice idea, I really like it.
Marc you have done a great job.
I know it maybe a little late, but a few changes I would do if it was me…
(Please don’t take this the wrong way)
1) Front cover needs to be brightened up abit, plenty of bare white space.
Also I would add the website address.
2) Try getting a focal point, e.g. one main picture that sticks out.
At moment a bit of confusion going on, as the main picture fades off.
If it was me I would use one good picture from JAE (or similar Meet),
Where there are a few 4g civic all lined up together,
This way it represents our 4G-community/ forum,
and explains what we are about.
3) I would use consistency amongst the title (month) of each page.
Stick them in the same place, a simple template,
like you have done with November or December, or even better going up the side.
I really like the idea of what you done with the October, looks cool.
4) Finally I would put a pagenote on each car picture, of who’s car it is and spec
– just minor nothing too big. A simple sentence.
Heres what I mean- a quick example, (this is just an example). 20 minutes on Photoshop.
Anyway these are my view on the calendar, its up to you and others to decide.
cheers, good luck.

red = too much, tacky
font = boring, over-used, neutral
plain design, anyone could knock up.
remember this is something that has my design, so its not going to be to everyones taste, but obviously i want to try and keep everyone happy.
i take on ideas, but trust me, i go through most variations before i decide on what to go with.
with the photos i have been submitted, i cannot put the month in the same place in every photo, as it doesnt "fit" the photo. you need to look at the perspective of the photograph to understand and realise where items need to be placed.
i see what you mean with the cover, but there are no hi-res images available to me that I like and "fit" the cover from JAE. i have one Pete took on the Friday night, but this is a quick turnaround remember!! to hopefully get these to people the first week of January.
i will have a play with the cover, do another variant, and people can choose???
but I think Craig's car needs to be promenent as he is the founder of 4guk.
But just to re-address... i can't get anything printed without a hi-res 4G logo (which craig is the only person who will have it, Adam might?)

Ok, two covers.....
1)
2) 
I must admit, I prefer the 2nd one, so will continue with that one.
Would anyone like to submit a smaller photo for the cover???????? Buggs EE9 would like to be on there. i think Gizmo wants a pic ???
Please let me know.

About the printing, my stepdad owns a graphic design company with lazers cutters etc aswel for making stickers. I no he supplys the local honda gargage with stickers and decals!
I could get a price for a bunch of these if you want?
looking for 25 or 30 made up, depending on price.
