The NAM Calendar of Motoring is back for 2013!

As in the past, this 8.5" x 5.5" calendar is full-color and features the 13 winning photographs from 2013 Calendar of Motoring photo contest. These photos are taken by and chosen for this calendar by you, our awesome members!

This year's calendar is SOLD OUT!

I purchased one of these calendars quite some time ago but still haven't received it. When are they going to ship?

 

I was just about to update this post, but I'll do it here instead.

There was a delay with the printing service, but they are en route to me and I expect them this coming week - at which point I turn them around same day back into the mail to all of you. I apologize for the delay. Some of it was the printing process, which for no good reason took them a week longer than normal, and some of it was due to the Northeast getting terribly dumped on weather wise several times in the past few days. Again, I expect them soon and will immediately ship them out.

 

i put an order last 11-18-12, and the id # 1WK90592E867737OK. i paid it by pay pal.

 

I forgot to put my order in. I was reminded of this fact as I am now looking at my out of date 2012 NAM calendar on my workplace's wall. Do you have any spares I could put an order in for?

 

Same here...:( are we SOL?

 

They are in and shipping today!

 

Just received an email stating calendar shipped via PayPal.........5:51 PM.

Received a second email stating shipment canceled via PayPal ...5:53 PM reason for not shipping "Label did not print"

 

Yep, you were the first one who ordered and the first one I shipped. PayPal had an issue with the label, so I had to kick it back. No worries. I am headed to the post office now with them all to dump into the box!

Just to explain how this calendar happens every year (I feel like I am taking some heat from people who don't know the background of the NAM calendars)...

The guy who previously organized the contest decided he no longer wanted to do them after NAM was sold. Previously, he ran the contest and the details were handled (ordering of the calendars, shipment to buyers) by the owner of NAM.

We went one year without the calendars and the next fall members were begging to bring it back. So we did. However, it is NOT run by some large company. I organize the contest, tally the votes, design and compile the calendar, ride the printing company til it is done, then sort and ship orders when they come in. I do all of this from my living room, and I don't make a red cent doing it. In fact, there have been years where I have paid out of my pocket.

I'm not begging for sympathy here, I am just asking folks to understand that I do these because the members asked for them, and I do the best I can with what I have while also working 60-hour weeks. Every year I swear I am never doing them again because it is major hassle for no reward - but every year no one else steps up to do it, so here we are.

The calendars that have been ordered through today are now in the mail. There are a handful remaining for those who would like to order.

Thanks

 

And with that, this year's calendars are sold out! Thanks again, folks!

 

Thanks for your efforts it is much appreciated and I have every calendar and will continue to order them as long as they are made.
I just really like the concept of pictures taken by people who have the same passion for their MINI as I have for mine and that makes these calendars as unique as our cars

 

Allow me to second that - all the work on the calendars is much appreciated. I'm organizing all the drives for our state's MINI club and I understand how much time and effort it takes. As I said - much appreciated!

 

Very welcome - I do enjoy doing it, it's just a huge time suck! Peter, we've done the drive organizing thing too and it's a ton of work!

ALL calendars (including contest winners copies and those who snuck in last minute orders last night) are in the mail. Watch your mailboxes!

 

Got mine yesterday. Love it! Thank you for pulling it all together. I love participating in the contest and am determined to actually submit some pics this year.

 

I Got mine yesterday n i like it. its so simple, thank you much.

 

Mine arrived as well and is currently residing in a previously empty spot on the wall at work where it's predecessor resided.
Can't tell you how many times I've glanced at that empty spot in the past week ! You don't realize how much you use something until it's gone ! 

 

Sold out already...those must be quite the calendar! Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for next years!

 

Any thoughts of reprinting?

 

I have to have at least 50 to reprint...I can't really see that happening. Keep your eyes peeled for next year, though.

 

Do you know if these have shipped yet?
