Troll Hunter Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've just received an e-mail from ILRO, inviting me to:"Enter our competition and your Land Rover could feature in the 2014 LRO/BRITPART Calendar!" How can I possibly resist this tempting offer??? Trouble is, I don't have the confidence that they'll even get the calendar right, and I wouldn't want anybody to think that I'd actually endorse Britpart products. A month's fame for a lifetime of embarrassment and misery would be intolerable. No thank you. I wonder if any brave souls on here will be tempted for a "month of glory".

Maverik Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You should enter, but in any photos you take you should have a piece of paper in the window saying exactly what you just said... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You should look at it this way, it is well stated here and on other forums that Britpart does supply some "brand name" parts. If your vehicle is selected, you will received a gift certificate for a few hundred £, choose those parts that are "brand name" as your winnings.

simonr Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Tell you what - you should print a big QR code (containing your selected message) and put that on the side of the truck. Guaranteed nobody at BP/LRO will scan the code - but I bet someone looking at the calendar will! It could go viral! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantastic Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 They should have a hall of fame of failed ****parts. Everything from crashes due to seized bearings to fitting photos of completely misaligned holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bob Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 If you enter the competition, the second you send your photos to them, they become the property of Britpart, who can use them however they want regardless of whether you get into the calendar or not, so your Land Rover may end up being the face of some below par product or other. Just in case you're particularly possessive of your photos, it's basically a way for them to get a load of free images to use without having to ask permissions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Month of fame or month of humiliation and ridicule ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Funny, I gave them an opportunity to get loads of publicity and tons of photo's of "selected" products being fitted and in action on a future project, they turned it down as the deal was to supply those selected parts at 50% retail price, seems Bearmach are very keen to get in on it due to project being internet based for the build up and then the vehicle will be running and competing in Europe. Strange to me but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I had last years calendar, it only went up to JUNE!?!...... January.... Nice pristine Land Rover....... As Britparts were added month by month it deteriorated and come June it was resigned to the big scrap heap in the sky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
