Hoo boy, better brush up on my drifting skills

Actually I'm alright at drifting. Just not drifting pictures (got no votes in PMC with the drifting theme)
 
Wow, some tough choices ahead. Tonnes of cars - 2 tracks. Best of luck Lellep, hope your having as much fun as I am.

Yep ^^ very good selection of cars, the problem for me is the tracks.. I'm not really used to taking pictures at any of those locations:crazy:

Oh well... Best of luck to you aswell :)
 
One quick question, and I will ask here to make sure it's fair for both me and Lellep: is the '98 Mini 1.3 considered a british car? The game calls it German but we know the truth. Can Nick maybe shed some light on this for us?
 
well, BMW bought Mini back in 2001. So it should be german now. But it still feels like an english car.


ediiiit: wait no, it was earlier. But the "Mini one" came out in 2001 (as I know). And it was build from BMW. No we got it right..or not?
 
To my knowledge BMW purchased the Rover Group in 1994, and produced the new mini in 2001. However, the original design hearkened to the fifties from the pen of good old Sir Alex which eventually inspired the Miura's designer to follow a similar layout, only backwards, allowing for the compact dimentions of the first supercar.

I'm sorry if this seems like a rant, but with so many cars under a British flag and labeled British, why people complicate with cars that are suppose to be British but are labeled as German? Why do people over-complicate things?

Like I said last week and will say it again, stick to the obvious (cars labeled as British) to avoid any confusion.

tonilleshusband, again, sorry if I sounded a bit rude, but it's something that it's been buging me since the begining of competitions. With such obvious choices on cars, people allways tend to choose something that may or may not (the gray line) be eligible as per rules/theme.

And, in another note, I still only received entries from match 4 and there is less than 24h left to submit, so if you didn't already, I recommend you do quick. Reminder P.M.'s will be sent.

GT5 has the car listed under the wrong country though

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini

It's a huge error IMO, even if BMW did own BMC at the point the car was made. Not that that should change the theme, though.

Yeah, but I know what Nicknamealguem means... I know I had my share of stupid questions about cars fitting the theme, etc. :P

I'm guessing it's not easy.
 
I really wasn't trying to upset anyone. It's just THE British car, and for whatever reason, it looks great when shot in London. Not a big deal, I have just found the two British tracks harder to shoot at and I have had some success with the Mini. My apologies for the frustration.
 
Just got back from VIR a little bit ago. Narrowing 20 pics down to 1...

Time for my edition of this weeks sink or swim.

Best to you atlop! :cheers:

Wow, I only took 9...
 
The sad thing is, after taking all those shots, I really am not that confident with my entry. There have been a few comps I have taken 1 shot for and done well. But if I am not feeling terribly inspired then I just start taking shots everywhere and trying to find my inspiration. Don't get me wrong, I love my shot, I just don't know if others will or not.
 
^same goes for me. Well, I only took 15 shots, but I'm not really confident with them so far. And now, with the PSN back on, I'll have to play some BC2 rounds with my friends later on.:D finally, woot!!!!


Will send my Entry in a few hours:gtpflag:
 
Mine was a total accident, I was trying to use 2 identical cars to make an effect and then some random idea happened at the right angle.
 
Entry sent:gtpflag:

I changed my mind in the last second, hope it was the right decision :nervous:



cant wait to see yours DiabolicalMask!
