Interesting...
If I can find it I have a shot that is really quite good (if I do say so myself )

 

[astrosdude91]

I'll need to see some examples of this one before I know exactly this comp calls for.

 

[Aldo]

Well... Somebody has to be first!

Taken somewhere in Victoria, Australia (not great with details...). The bridge is an old forrestry train thing I think.
The car is a Nisssan 100NX with a 2L SR20 Engine in it.

Photobucket seems to have killed any detail with its auto-fix editing thing.

Edit: The car is the red bit in the bottom left by the way

Not a lot of entries this week. Shorly not everyone takes closely cropped shots of cars. Anyway, No time to take one this week so I dug into the archives for this shot.

For some reason...I feel I've seen this shot before...or you've entered it before. But I can find no evidence of that. Weird.

It was in Syntax's gallery ages ago and it's on his Red Bubble account too I think. 👍

No, it's definitely a Yaris. The flux capacitor and Mr. Fusion fit into it alright, it's getting it to 88 mph that's the hard part

Chris, I wasn't sure if I had entered it either so I did a bit of a search (not a very thorough one, I'll admit) but came up with nothing. As Adam mentioned I did post it in my gallery last year after my trip to NZ, so that could be why it looks familiar. If it does turnout to have been previously submitted I will change my submission.

It's alright...I actually did do a very thorough search of the competitions but I turned up nothing and at that point I was just really wondering where I saw it. It probably was just your gallery...

I AM LOVING this!!!! >>> THE THEME OF THIS WEEK'S PHOTO COMP! 👍

i have the luck of having a few pictures to choose from in my hard drive.
the hardest was to guess which one you guys and gals would like the most.
it came down to 3 personal favorites, and i still cant decide!!!
but anyways, here is my entry for this week.​

probably not the best pictures i have but ...​

💡 when you look at this you just want to hop in the car (E36 328i) and GO!!
thus the Subject:








ESCAPE

On my way to Monument Valley, SouthWest USA.
Jan 2nd, 2009, the day after i had visited the Grand Canyon
Canon XSi

















ps: once over, i have to share with you the other photos i couldnt decided on...
by the way: Great shot last week Syntax Error ... of the Holden aiming for the apex

Well, I wanted to take the Ranger into Houston, but I couldn't find the time. There are some spots near downtown that offer fantastic views of the downtown skyline. So I did the next best thing and headed over to a midrise complex with the Ranger. So here is what I came back with:

1991 Ford Ranger XLT Single Cab
Westlake Business Park

[Speedster502]

Er, I didn't have much for this. At all, this was the only thing that kind of fits.

What time is it now ??


Can i switch my entry to this picture?? In my first entry, and after reflecting on it, i didn't like the shadow of the car being cast by the facing sun...

that big chunk of black on the foreground is disturbing and has been bothering me all day long...



So i'd like to switch my submission to this one.

328i and the Mexican Hat

I actually really liked your former picture. But sure, I'll let you switch.

I know about the time - it is technically past time, but I don't really close it until the night.

I assure you, I have no idea what you are on about Chris

That Vette shot is billiant however, just as good as the other

I know I'm paranoid and see conspiracies everywhere, but I was sure I found one this time.

But thank you, I suppose.
