Nice shot NISMO 👍 This week seems quite quiet in the competitions, not quite sure why. My only guess would be that the summer holidays have started over here in the UK. But I don't think we have that many UK participants. :confused:
 
It will probably perk up tomorrow, I'm still deciding on what photo to use and I think Achilles still has limited internet access so he may post something last minute.

This guy drove in as I was walking around the Ferrari owners club, my god it sounded amazing. Also sorry for the double post, I wanted a fresh one for my entry.​
 
👍 Great shot Tom. Finally got the internet going properly after some major issues with the service provider. I'm at work right now so I'll post something when I get home in about 10 hours if we can keep the comp open for that long.

Thank you. I didn't even see this show up when I looked at the new posts. The only reason I saw it was because I checked to see where it was.
 
Love the new banners! And I love the new photo archives, Adam! Really looking neat!

Quick question. Would you rather have a picture of the car or the V8 itself? Or does it really matter?
 
I couldn't really come up with anything great. Looked through my archives and there wasn't anything that I would think worthy as a comp entry. Anyway, I think this is Cano's theme really. Where is he anyway?

EVEN NOT SO GREAT ENTRIES ARE GREAT.


I will close this tomorrow, I am extremely tired...:guilty:

Cheers, and I think it doesn't really matter so far we've got a relatively wide range of photographs in some of the engine, some of the car itself. I think it's up to you pretty much.

And Syntax that's great, HOW DO YOU GET THOSE TONES!!!??? The perspective in the shot is really cool as well. 👍

For those who haven't entered yet but are planning to, from this post you probably have 2-3 hours to enter before Chris comes online.

So. Enter, like now. :)
 
Ok, a bit late, but I'm here none the less.

I love what I did with this picture! It's all black and white with the exception of the stop sign. I'm surprised that the owner would bring this car out into the rain.
