Thanks for getting that up so quick Luis. Rock and Roll.

I just got a question regarding the theme. Could I use any Toyota racing car or only Castrol cars ?
Because there is only one car for that theme that I know of, and that is Castrol Tom's Supra.
 
I'm really looking forward to that match between RG and SlipZ, interesting theme too.

Well done and good luck to everyone that made it here. 👍
 
Another "2 cars them"???????? :grumpy::irked:🤬:ouch::banghead:

Good luck Klaus! But I know you wont need it this time. 2 Cars are my kryptonite! :ill::sly:


Ohh and thanks Luis! :)
Now I know what I have to do today....


ninja edit: Match04 is indeed great! Would've loved to do that too!
 
just a head's up, in the 2.0 matches (the nissan calsonic one) it says any nissan sponsored by castrol, surely it should read calsonic?

Cheers'en!

Or the celica rally car
 
2.0 match 4 is gonna be legendary :drool:
I also expect a lot from "Luna VS Celestia", "Mare-Do-Well", "20% cooler" and "Classics" :)
 
Prize Cars:

Just to throw a little blood in the water for the sharks.

MTM Audi R8/West Coast Customs Tron R8

 
YES! I got a theme I think I can do pretty well with. :lol:

And man, do I feel sorry for SVX. That's probably one of the hardest things you could do, attempt to do something unique with a NASCAR shot. But I'm sure he'll do really well.

And the #2, #4 and #7 2.0s + the #5 and #7 PMC matches. I think those will produce some extreme shots. :drool: No offence to everyone else, I'm sure the quality will be through the roof anyway.
 
Gee, my theme surely be either easy win or easy lose. :ill:
Good luck WB. 👍

Hope i can give our theme a good nail-bitting fight. :D
 
Hmmm, no interesting interpretation with my theme this time. V12 Power should be a lot of fun. Just good old fashoned photography. Looking forward to it. Good luck Lellop, I know you don't need it.
 
YES! :D Classics! Good luck to everyone, some good battles this round! Also, I will soon have details of a small, but custom made one-off prize that I'm willing to give away to the winners of each side. 👍

Yes, there's alot of possibilities for a theme like this, I have no idea what direction to take =S
Anyway, good luck to you aswell :)
I Just hope to be able to put up a better fight than the last time we met 👍

To be honest, I´m happy that there will be some NASCAR love again. 👍

Thank you man, same to you 👍 Hope so, too :D
 
I don't think my Monkey See, Monkey Do theme could of had 2 better contestants.
FYI, if you're confused about my Mare Do Well theme, it's kinda like my 2.0 entry Where you see the shilloutte or lines of the car from refelctions.
 
Geee gtuned thanks for that theme :scared: this is going to be a tough one to get a decent shot for! Good Luck everyone!
 
Ha, I'm already ready to send my entry in! :D

Just one question. Am I allowed to post a preview pic of a similar shot on flickr?
 
Match 4, 2.0 :bowdown: 'nuff said... :lol:
I have to say I'm glad I didn't beat RetroGiant and have SlipZ mimic one of mine, 'cause it would be soooo much better.. :sly: But this is a real battle of the titans.
 
I'm home sick today with bad allergies (going to the doctor in about an hour) but it did give me a little time to snap some shots. I kind of combined 2 things with mine, I liked the set-up of one of slip's themes and used that as the base idea and then sort of mimicked a shot from a completely different set of his. We'll see how it plays out :nervous:. I'll start the editing process tomorrow when I'm back at work and not on a laptop. Really excited to see some of these match-ups 👍.

Once again, great themes. Really looking forward to seeing what RetroGiant and SlipZtrEm will come up with. :D

You can use any Toyota with the castrol logo.

Well, you can, it's not advised, but you can.
 
I think I already have shot my final entry. What´s left is editing. That might take a bit though...
