This was his first effort with little input from me, I know it's a Coastal photo, I know the text is wrong and all that, this is just a little taster. Took him half an hour.

Well, it's a good start. I think if I work to find a really cool action photo from Oople and work with Rene (art guru) based on the poster text Zipster has got? Please, I don't want to be seen railroading this one so let me know if any reservations..

Stick yer thoughts down on this thread LBC'ers

Cool.

I think it's all good Al. Go for it.

If I could make one suggestion. That this is the main picture.... A demonstration of the sharpness of a wing and the strength of an aerial tube. The car has now been like it for 6 months! Laughing

Sorry Zip I couldn't help it.

Seriously, I have been through all my pics and I can only find this as even acceptable. (And this one http://gallery.myff.org/gallery/304450/DSC_0066.JPG )If montaging (is that even a word!) it might work with a little photoshopping (I really am making it up as I go along now) it might just work depending on the final layout.

But by all means, go get some Super Oopler pics, they are great from the get go and require little effort Wink

It's a promotion of the sport/hobby etc, I don't think it matters which pics we use so long as they speak loudly. Don't worry about squeezing LBC pics in. But they be only my opinion. Wink

That's nice!

I just got a reply from Jimmy Oople with full permission to use one of his photo's if we want. I said we'd drop an Oople logo on our work somewhere as a mark of respect.

I'll carry on with Rene, if we end up with two designs it doesn't matter.

Cool

Is it being impatient to ask to see the Magic so soon? Is it more likely to appear after the weekend?

I'm still waiting for the high res image, I'll drop Jimmy another message. Watch this space.

I don't know if you remember, but last year toward the end of the season I had written a Pulitzer prize winning piece for the "Manningtree Mistley and Lawford Community News" about LBC and it's combative exchanges with Coastal; "EATC - the aftermath and the glory". It was said to be an entry into history of such journalistic magnitude that it was unlikely to ever be repeated............... UNTIL NOW!!!!

That's right. The next piece needs to be submitted by the 20th March for publication in the beginning of April. Soooooo. Once the flyer is done, the poster is sorted, I'll get the electronic quill in motion for some Car show advertising. Also, can we have a think about the competition too. Would be great to get some ideas, feedback on it?

I hope it's sunny! Very Happy

Does my memory serve me correctly? Was last year a real scorcher, or was it the year before?
