Default Is your AU about to become famous?
Edit: This is no longer going to happen.. sucks but out of our control.



Well, here they are. If you own this car (or picture) you are through step one. These are the images now being considered by the American calendar producers to be a part of a 2008 "Ford" Calendar that will sell internationally.
Its not a guarentee that the image will be in it, but its now in their records as an option. So, who's car is now on the verge of being an international AU superstar?


If you own one of these cars below I need you to PM me with your:
Picture code (eg AU11)
Photographer’s Name
Photographer’s Address
Photographer’s City
Photographer’s State
Photographer’s Post Code
Photographer’s Country
Photographer’s Phone Numbers
Photographer’s E-Mail Addresses
Photographer’s Website (which is www.aufalcon.com)

Car year
Car model (AU Falcon)
Car Type (Sedan, Wagon, Utility)
Car Engine capacity

Remember, if you do get your pic in the calendar you will be paid for it and receive 3 free copies of the calendar and 60% off all further copies. I will also try to get a "group buy" price of 60% for all aufalcon.com members as it may be that we are getting our very own "Australian Ford" calendar!!!!

Anyhow, here are the shortlist entries:

AU002


AU005


AU011


AU012


AU013


AU016

Yeah, like it was ever NOT going to make the final choice.

For the record, I send over 40 images, these were chosen by them, not me :

Does anyone know if it was just AU's, or they did other models?

This was just AU's. I'm not sure where it goes from here. They may just choose one pic in the end to represent us in a worldwide "Ford" calendar. They may choose a few for an "Australian Fords" calendar or, if I can convince them, they may do an exclusive "Australian AU Ford" Calendar!

If its all AU's I'll be making a point of doing a bulk "60% off retail" purchase so everyone can get one cheap! Maybe if we buy enough they will do another in 2009!

I saw the plates and was wondering who on the forums had that car.

They didn't submit any pics. No pics, no chance. Shame really.

My thoughts exactly. There's also a couple of other AUs (Minge's, FRDTUF etc).

Good luck to you all.
