Just spoken to Peter at iconic memory and he informs me that a 10 Tenths T should be possible. Basically we would need a minimum of 30 advance orders, and would need to decide quickly what design we would be looking for...

Hi Craig!

Thanks for this e-mail.
You raise an interesting question.
In short, a Ten Tenths T-shirt is possible.

It may take a while to develop, mainly because we have just entered
my printers busy season - producing for the great NZ summer.
Generally, I try to develop new designs in winter, when he has more
'down time'.

However, if we use existing cars, then in effect the development has
been done - ink tones, shading levels, squeegee pressures, etc...
Lettering tends to be 100% colour at 100% pressure. No big deal.


OK, let's talk turkey:

I suggest you take a look at all my cars, and pick 2...
1939 Mercedes-Benz W163
1954/55 Mercedes-Benz W196
1956 Lancia-Ferrari D50A
1957 Maserati 250F
1958 Vanwall
1961 Ferrari 156 Sharknose
1975 Ferrari 312T
1982 Ferrari 126C2
1998 Ferrari F310
1998 Mclaren MP4/13

With a 1 car design - say a Ferrari - what McLaren or Jordan fan
is going to buy it? 2 cars should satisfy more fans & broaden the
appeal. The trick is to get the right 2 cars...

IF your membership is interested in both classic and modern F1,
go for a classic car plus a modern; say 156 Sharknose & MP4/13.
If modern only, maybe Ferrari & McLaren.

Adding text is easy, as long as I design it using a colour in the cars.

If you seriously want to go ahead with this:
1. Tell me which (one) or 2 cars you favour.
2. Send me a few lines of exactly what it is about Ten Tenths that
appeals to your readers - preferably what is unique.
Then I can work on a 'punch line'

30 would be a minimum run, and if I factor my time in,
I would barely cover my costs. So we may have to consider selling
these without the 10% discount - at least for a while.

Kick the idea around and tell me what you think.
If we do go ahead, we should be able to have them ready for December
delivery. Thinking ahead, if a simple standard design is agreed,
then later 'special editions' would be possible, simply adding
a line of text - "Le Mans Tour 2000" or whatever.

Cheers

Peter

Please post your thoughts and suggestions.

For what it's worth, I would suggest that we went for two classic cars rather than modern ones, if the arguments on the F1 forum are anything to go by!
