Yes & no, Stu.
It was me saying 'don't touch the bonnet' which made the minx do that particular pose!

In this PC world, do suppliers still give "glamour" calenders out to garages? I remember we used to get some good ones through.

Is it me, or does it look like she's about to unleash a log on the bonnet.... ? Very Happy

I know, it's a complete b***h to keep on the road. Working on it 24/7. Still, all the effort is worth it to keep an un-bastardised 206, that has only had one advisory (minor post CAT leak) in the last 4 MOTs, on the road.

Your car looks quite impressive though.

Be careful not to crash it otherwise mummy might stop your pocket money and send you to bed without your glass of milk

We're considering relaxing the competition rules to allow slight editing to the image submitted, but no editing to the actual car. Now I've typed that, it doesn't make sense, but it is early, so let me explain.

At the moment, the submissions are just a single photograph

that wouldn't change. it would still need to contain an unedited, recognisable image of your car, but you would be free to exhibit that image in a more creative way by adding borders or putting multiple images into one picture, as long as the main image is a decent size to be visible.
A couple of examples I have knocked together

Obviously we don't want the photoshopped cars (anyone remember the red trees?)

Just throwing it out for ideas to try and get people to be more creative and encourage them to enter and give the competition a new lease of life. One thing to consider is that all pictures for the home page get shrunk down to 570 pixels wide, so it would be pointless having half a dozen pictures side by side as they would only be a few pixels high to avoid distortion.

May run a one off competition in the next few weeks for the photoshoppers who want to show their skills and modify their car to their hearts content.

Thoughts?

that looks like its ready for the scrapyard. might have to take your landing lights off the doors first

You should do the whole car in the same wrap as the tailgate. People would be all over it thinking it's some sort of prototype on test.

Well technically it is....in a manner of speaking

Put it in and let the voters decide. Quirky might just be the boost the comp needs and then others think might outside the box.

I'm with you on that one mind. Photo's look so much clearer and the colours are much vibrant on an SLR camera, it's not hard to tell. Having done Photography whilst in college I have had sufficient experience with them, so I agree, that small light enhancements that make the car look like it's right in front of you, isn't cheating. Just simply giving the car a real life perspective. By the way Jamie, love your car mate!
