Nice theme, I'm trying to decide if I should use a shot I already have or take a new one.

 

[Araba]

glad you like it, Luke

 

[Araba]

seems like no one else is interested...?

 

[84SSccc]

I got some pics of my M3 CSL but I don't quite understand the theme. Do you want us to take a pic of an actual part like a wheel or taillight, or a section of the car like the front clip or rear end. I'll definitely be entering it but I'm just a little confused about what I'm supposed to be shooting 👍

oh... ok, i meant it just like you said, you choose the car and whichever part of it looks best to you, shoot it,... taillights, mirrors, whatever you like,... if you like the whole car, take a pic of the whole car, if you like e.g. the design of the hood/bonnet - shoot it...

This theme is generally open and you decide for yourself in your own artistic interpretation.

Hope this isn´t confusing anymore

Nice shot, Nuno. 👍

M3's everywhere...

 

[djskyline701]

AMAZING SHOT NTX.. 👍

 

[speedemon08]

and there all CSL's

 

[Araba]

nice entries so far, but i´m a bit disappointed to see only M3s, no S3/S4/RS4/RS6, even no AMG here...

 

[speedemon08]

i might change mine, to be different

 

[in.s@ne]

Intersetingly, I won't be around on the 13th, so you all get a few extra days on this one!
Great entries so far though

 

[MinoltaMan89]

and there all CSL's

NISM0_SKYLINE's is a GTR.

I'll be using an AMG or an S/RS...

This is a bit edgy, if I have time I'll re-shoot and change my entry.

 

[Watchman]

Indeed, bit edgy. But doesn't matter, though, still a good entry. 👍

 

[MinoltaMan89]

Why on earth did you use those wheels?

 

[Swiss Legend]

Why on earth is that big ass spoiler on an M5?!?! Sorry GrumpE. To me that is almost sacrilegious . I have to give you crap for it
If it didn't have the spoiler it'd just look straight up gangsta with those rims!👍

 

[Daniel]

FINAL ENTRY

I love this car... It's got a burnt out taillight
NB: NO PHOTOSHOP USED, OR ANY IMAGE EDITOR!!

 

[GrumpEone]

lol, you really dislike those wheels huh; actually I was curious how it rendered spinning with motion-blur.

That M5 is one of my experimental-jumpers; I needed to use downforce to adjust the trajectory of jumps, to be able to land and keep control. Also that shot is out-take from jumping the corkscrew (I think). Hopefully I'll have time to re-shoot before this closes.

Swiss don't be sorry; but if that's giving me "crap" for it, you need to be harsher than that, lol. Wheylessness Legend.
