I see you changed your shirt Mr. Bond....

Ok, guys, been AWOL for a bit, was in Dallas without access to a computer over this past weekend.

Looks like Johnny made it in the nick of time. You've retained your point, Mr. Danger, but you need to supply us with a new challenge to continue. You may either edit your post containing your picture of the highly customized, removable hood ornament you placed on your car, or you may post separately your next challenge. We'll get things back on track. :cheers:

Very tasteful, btw. Very. ;)

Should someone count the points? That could motivate competitors... :matchup:

Johnny Danger 09-13-2011 11:08 AM

Next Challenge :

A boxster with a mural or graffiti in the background !

Workin on it, ketsa. I've got to make sure I go through and count properly.

And Johnny's latest challenge sounds like an interesting one. Let's see what people come up with.

Here goes ... boxster with a mural (albeit a faded one) or graffiti in the background .

Some say it's an effigy of the Virgin Mary, while others believe it's the secret love child of Alice Cooper and Chaz Bono . Personally, I think it looks like one of my ex-mother-in-laws.

Johnny Danger 09-15-2011 01:15 PM

Next Challenge .... boxster with yellow brake calipers .

986rgt 09-16-2011 10:41 PM

Easy...

Just found this thread, fun idea.

How about, A Boxster with a child seat, occupied or not. Lets see some family Porsches!

Overdrive 09-17-2011 08:25 AM

Hey hey! Another CT resident, awesome! Unless your first picture's playing some tricks on me, it looks like you've got your own challenge covered as well should the need arise, 986rgt. Is that the top of a child seat I'm seeing?

OK, folks, this post will be edited shortly with new point totals since we've got plenty of newcomers since the last one. Stand by...

EDIT: Allllllllll right, here are the current standings, full of new contenders, some of whom have managed to challenge and overtake what was originally a pretty soild, early lead!

The highest scores are listed first in descending order with a little gold/silver/bronze treatment, and any ties alphabetically from there:

ProjectM96: 7 points
Tommy986: 6 points
ketsa: 5 points
Mark_T: 2 points
Sasha055: 2 points
Spinnaker: 2 points
thstone: 2 points
tonycarreon: 2 points
986rgt: 1 point

A helmet is a helmet.

NEXT: A Boxster with a bronze statue of a person.

I should have the bronze statue picture in about 4 hours!

It's a Knight on a horse, but I pretty sure this counts.

Next up: A Boxster next to a water fountain

Overdrive 09-22-2011 07:53 AM

Well, looks like no one hit up the casino in the last few days or has a pic on hand, so hopefully you've got one to post up in about the next six hours or so Highlow (Robo-Top) to meet the rules of the game.

2003S 09-22-2011 09:01 AM

Site problems?
 
Is it just me, or are all of the attached pictures in this thread gone?
(which would be sad, since, you know, it's a thread about pictures)

I see some, of the "embedded"variety, but the majority of the pictures stopped showing up for me.

DRMC911 09-22-2011 09:16 AM

Pictures
 
I have the same problem, none of the pictures come up.

ProjectM96 09-22-2011 10:38 AM

The site was being maintained and upgraded last night. So I tried to log back in an hour later and it said "You have been banned from this site. When will the ban be lifted: NEVER"

So that was kind of funny. Then I was able to log in this morning with no problems, but I also noticed forum pictures changed around. And then this thread is reversed. Earliest post is on 1st page, latest post on last page. Now its unreversed itself when I refereshed the page.

Overdrive 09-22-2011 10:39 AM

Looks like you guys are right, I thought it was just the last few not showing up for me because of my work computer, but even Johnny Danger's color-matching hood ornament is gone.

I suspect that there was some update to the forum (I suddenly have a percentage status for my PM box after logging in today), so perhaps when the change(s) occured it wiped out some links/attachments?

I've been saving virtually all the pictures from this thread so far, but I didn't get these last ones yet... :(

Any mods out there who can chime in about this situation?:confused:

Overdrive 09-22-2011 06:59 PM

I guess we'll put the game on hold until we can kinda sort this out. For the ones that still show, I think it's because they didn't "attach" the images in the same way as those which show up in a box that reads "Attached Image". So maybe if they're linked externally rather than attached, they still work since those links are still active.

Kind of a bummer, hope some people can go back and find a way to put their pictures back in or that the mods can maybe fix this.

Just checked the thread and everything seems to be back to normal. All the old pictures are back. Let the challenges continue. Still looking for a casino parking lot.

Overdrive 09-25-2011 10:04 AM

Well, not sure what happened to bring everything back, but good stuff. So let's get back to it, folks. We're going to reset the clock today...call it noon eastern time today (Sept. 25th), so let's see if someone comes through with a Boxster in a casino parking lot picture in the next couple days before we ask Highlow (Robo-Top) to supply his own.

Got a PM from Wayne the other day saying he found all the files and restored them.
Now, where's the nearest casino?

edit: On second thought, I think I will sit this round out. Got some other projects to work on.

I was planning on heading to a place right next to one this weekend, but plans fell through so I won't be able to provide that picture.

So I'll ditch that one and implement a new challenge:

Boxster next to a water fountain (not the drinking kind, but one used for aesthetics)

appistappis 09-25-2011 06:42 PM

i work in a casino.....will try to get a pic on tuesday

Overdrive 09-25-2011 07:55 PM

Highlow (Robo-Top), I'm going to have to ask that you remove your new challenge until later. If no one supplies the picture from your challenge in the time given, and you are unable to supply the picture yourself, then you may post a new challenge at that time. But I can't let you change the challenge ahead of time simply because you don't have a picture to meet your own challenge. If you can't supply one after the time limit, a point will be deducted per the rules at the beginning of the thread, and you'll be able to put up your new challenge at that time.

Yes, but if you look back to post #143 I decided to reset the clock on this challenge given the hiccup when the forum was updated and a bunch of pictures went AWOL.

So on the new clock we're about 25 hours into this challenge. Can someone go snap this pic already? :rolleyes:

Does this count? I have a fountain in my front yard.

Next - Your Boxster on a bridge

Overdrive 09-26-2011 05:11 PM

Yea, this is what I was trying to avoid. Ok, screw it, lol, Jager gets a point for the fountain (counts as far as I'm concerned because it's a water fountain made for aesthetics, and your car is there with it), so now we'll need you to go back to your post and put in the next challenge in bold.

And please Highlow (Robo-Top), go back and edit your post about the casino picture and put a note next to it that that challenge has been cancelled so someone doesn't see it and think it's active. If you want to bring it back up again after your next point, feel free. Since Jager posted a pic going with your proposed new challenge, I'm just going to go with it from here. No one's been docked any points yet, so I don't think anyone will complain about this rule bend, but this will be the only time.

So, whadaya got, Jager?:cool:

They’re in the back yard with my pink flamingos, koi pond, and two other fountains.

appistappis 09-28-2011 09:09 PM

I cannot seem to get pics from my phone to appear here.....any help is appreciated as I am completely lost computer wise, without my grand sons help.

DenverSteve 09-28-2011 09:24 PM

You'll have to upload the photos to an on-line photo site, such as Photobucket.com, and then paste the link in your post.
