Hopefully I can get in via public 'pooter ;)

[ckort]

Al, you and I were thinking along the same lines to start, but I just happened to trip over the Chev :)

[alexanderGARDNER]

It's on my walk from the train station to work. :)

[kiwichris]

Mine was outside the local country workshop, practically in my back yard :)

359574

Not for the comp of course, just to give a little insight to where I live, this country town, Clinton, pop 400 from where I am moving out of soon, in the above you can see the country workshop on the right, and the local Police house and cells, on the left. This was taken from my back door today, we are having some brilliant weather just now.

I should really be packing :lol:

[alexanderGARDNER]

Score! I was going to do some light painting on our Magna but had a big case of CBF about it. Last night was POTN Melbourne's dinner night so I got my missus to drive down the road after work 30 minutes before dinner and got the strobe out.

[kiwichris]

um........... I edited while you were posting :)

CBF? Dunno what you mean.

Can't be bothered?

[alexanderGARDNER]

I'd tell you to mow the lawn but you're moving! :P

[Goincarcrazy]

Finally submitting, sheesh! The week when you need some time to edit pics and you get none! Typical... Anyway, my submission: Barely Legal

Nice to see the others, including another Kiwi ;) joining in. Nice shots all.

[ckort]

Sorry folks, I am not able to participate this time :(. Between work and bass tournaments I just haven't had the time. And the one day I thought I could get a shoot in, it was raining. Anyway, looks like we have some great shots for this competition and I want to wish everyone good luck. Voting can start Monday morning and be finalized by Friday if we are still waiting for votes.

[ssracer]

OK, took this on sat, but forgot to get it posted on here. Doesn't look like the voting has started, so hopefully you all will let me sneak it in....lol...I had several to choose from this week, but I just like the mood of this one :D

I am off the air in couple of hours until I don't know when, should I by some chance win, (wishful thinking? :lol: ) would the second place getter be able to choose the next challenge?

Thanks Chris.

[masterwillems]

I think its safe to say that Sunday has passed and that we can continue with voting (to keep a little progress in the topic.)

My vote goes to "Goincarcrazy" because its a killer of a car!

[kiwichris]

ssracer with preveen snapping at his heels. I had a tough time choosing.

[ssracer]

My vote goes to preveen

[ckort]

Tough to pick a winner in this group! But I'm gonna have to go with Goincarcrazy on this one. Nice job by everyonre though!

[alexanderGARDNER]

Kiwi gets my vote for that sky.

[Goincarcrazy]

If I had to pick, I'd say Mark Vuleta, The sun can be a pain in rump, especially when it comes peaking out from behind clouds right after a rain. A cpl would have fixed that up, so for the colors, composition, all that good stuff, I'm gonna go with his (doesn't hurt that it's a safety GTR either...)

[rdguy]

Preveen gets my vote. I like the background blur and the crisp lines of the land rover.

[masterwillems]

A little bump and reminder that today is the last day to vote :).

[Mark Vuleta]

My vote goes to justAL for that poor abandoned little Morrie'.

With the angle its on, unless you've got insane camber on those roads, makes me wonder if the front left wheel is missing.

I wonder if it is still there? looks totally abandoned, out of place & lonely! :cry:

[alexanderGARDNER]

Thanks Mark!
It's been there every day for the past year I've been walking that road to work. There's a Hillman Minx behind it in the same condition.

As for that camber, it's a narrow suburban street in an older part of Melbourne so it does DROP into those gutters. Yes, that ol' car really does sit at that angle relative to the horizon.

[mullhawk]

great shots by everyone, hopefully I can start getting out again and shooting myself now that I am starting to get settled.

My vote - Goincarcrazy

it was a very tough decision to make once again, I look forward to the next comp, I am going to do what I can to participate again :D

[masterwillems]

The score (as far for now, maybe handy to quote and edit :P)


Goincarcrazy.................3
ssracer........................1
preveen.......................2
Kiwi............................1
Mark Vuleta...................1
JustAL.........................1

[ckort]

Looks like the results are in and Goincarcrazy is our winner! Congrats!
Fine job done by all though. I think this was the best competition so far, there was a lot of great photos submitted.
GoinCC, you are now free to pick the next subject. Again, congrats on a job well done ;).

[masterwillems]

Congrats GoingCarCrazy:D

[alexanderGARDNER]

Congrats. That was a fun comp.

[ssracer]

Congrats!

[Goincarcrazy]

Thanks all! Indeed it was a fun competition. I was happy since the satruday before the ending sunday there was a car/air show and that car was luckily just sitting by its lonesome. Great photos from everyone! Hopefully the new topic will be broad enough to allow anyone and everyone to participate!
