I will need someone to voulenteer to take my place at running the competition if I am going to be away. Please PM me if you will be able to fill in for me at any given date - I spend a lot of time with my Grandfather and he dosn't usually ask me to stop with him until the last minute which is usually 2 days notice. If this occurs I will need someone to run the competition whilst I am away.

Thank you for taking time to read this and I will hope to get a good number of entries on Tuesday 10th February.

Thanks for the nod guys. Here's my setup for #23

Lotus Esprit SE

Mosport Int'l Raceway Infield

Canon Rebel XTi

Since the weather is absolute crap out here at the moment, here's one I took last summer (clickable for large version) of my completely stock 2005 Nissan 350Z 3.5 V6 GT4 Edition.

^ Beautiful car, mate. 👍 Just stunning.
Damn clean too, looks like a freaking mirror.

Liking the Esprit shot, but on my monitor it appears it has a wee too much contrast. Good shot nevertheless.

The blue TT would look better shot from a lower angle, but that blue looks gorgeous against all the white.

Yeah, I don't know. I might change it to a little less contrast (If the contest doesn't close before I get home, which it might). But...I did that because it is hard to judge on my monitor. My monitor is abnormally bright I find, but I wasn't sure how it looked on others exactly.

**Actually, it occurred to me now I can do it on my laptop now, I have it stored online. Hopefully, it won't close before I alter my entry. >_<

I can't get a photo up myself, as my batteries went dead again... Had a lovely stock Evo VIII up the road form my nan's house... He also has a friend who is there a lot with a green RX-7... I might be able to get a good one for next week, as I have a good (in my oppinion) theme lined up...

Entries closed, POLL will be up very soon. (May be delaid because I'm going to try to get thumbnails).

Thank you. You are so kind. ^^;

Mmmm...Evo VIII and RX-7. *drools* The design of the RX-7 just doesn't age.

And I look forward to the new theme, of course.

It was a tradeoff. Blue on white with a higher angle, or lose that contrast with a lower angle. I've got both shots, but went with that one for the comp.
