Yes, we have printed off a few more than ordered, so there are a limited number available. Drop me a PM with you needs.
Bob. Once we know how many are available we will put them up on EBay, The majority of the orders were in today's post, and the remainder will be sent off tomorrow. |

So did mine. Very impressive. As I said on here weeks ago, I didn't know Mike, but feel privileged to have the calendar and if that has supported in some small way, then it was worth every penny. Great job Baub and all the others who worked hard to promote it. Merry Christmas to you all!

Mine received this morning, too - and an impressive, well produced item. I didn't know Mike well, having only met him a few times, and done some service crew work for him at Oulton, but the range of photos and the captions do him proud.
Well done to all involved in the production, sale and distribution of this. |

Mine arrived this afternoon, terrific pictures and all well put together. I knew Mike for a number of years and will miss his smiling face. He will be in pride of place in my workshop and when I get fed up with things I will look at the calendar and think "well at least I still have a life" RIP mate

Mine also received today. Great job by all concerned.
Will be going in the garage over the workbench as inspiration to do the job right as Mike would have done rather than cutting corners and making do like I normally would. RIP Mike |

My copy just arrived, and it now hangs in pride of place in my kitchen.
Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of personally meeting Mike, but, having exchanged online conversations with him over the years, I am sure that he was just a lovely bloke. He will be badly and sadly missed by all he knew him. RIP. Oh, and I sincerely hope that the auction goes well on Saturday; I will be watching online and further hope that all the cars go to good homes. If I had been in rude health I would have certainly bid for Lairy Canary, a car I have admired for years. But regretfully, I fear that I will never pass a medical to get a licence and it would be a waste of a beautiful motor. |

Still waiting for mine but very pleased to read the reactions on here. Will raise an ice dream to Mike at an appropriate time.

Not me Tim, although I am involved to a small extent, but I will accept credit if offered.
The calendar was my idea, and I chose the pictures from the Google album that so many people contributed to, I wrote the captions, but Matti Rogers of Alphadeal Publishers did all the rest. The only outlay that had to be paid for were for printing costs, everything else was done free-of-charge. I owe him a great deal for making my dream a reality, and I am well chuffed that so many people bought one, and appear to think it an appropriate tribute to our mutual friend Mike. The view from Over the Moon is great. |

I am assured that all the orders were posted by Tuesday, so any delay is down to the Post Office.
Peter LU post codes do seem to be delayed generally. My daughter in rural Cambridgeshire has received her copy. Last edited by bauble; 11 Dec 2020 at 11:35. Reason: Addition |
