If you have a smartphone, you can email the photo(s) to yourself and then do what Steve said (upload them to Photobucket, then use the forum code link tpo post the picture here.

If you want to email the picture to me, I can take care of the rest of it for you, just let me know!

Ok, looks like we're on ketsa's challenge of Boxster in the rain. Sounds like appistappis has one, let's see if it gets uploaded soon.

:cheers:

thanks guys, I'll try that.....I have the elusive boxster in a casino parking lot

appistappis, let's see if I can't help you out here.

to get the image to actually show in your post, place [img] at the beginning of the link, and then [/img] at the end, and if everything's right it should show up as above.

This is appistaappis' picture. This is a picture of a challenge that is done/cancelled, so it will not suffice.

Hm...seems we still can't get this picture to show up...well, ok, we're still looking for

Boxster in the rain

Still a whole day left to get it done, folks.

appistappis, keep that picture handy, if the casino lot challenge ever resurfaces, you've got yourself a point ready to go.

thanks, its raining had here but since I cannot get my pics to show I guess I'll pass.

I can put the picture up, it actually was up for a little bit but I decided to take it down because it wouldn't count anyway.

appistappis, I can put pictures up for you, but I also PMd you directions on how to do it yourself.

Wish I saw this yesterday....we had a monsoon here

You're telling me! Of course today had to be nice, but tomorrow's supposed to rain around here again, so everyone, including ketsa, has until 2:30pm (eastern time) tomorrow, or about 21.5 hours from this post, to get their submission in for a point (or in the case of ketsa, to retain his latest point).

It's gotta be raining somewhere, let's get that picture in!

It was only a light shower, does that count? Supposed to rain this Saturday. You can always count on Seattle for rain at some point.

If it counts, then: NEXT - Boxster under a bridge.

Well we've got no reason to doubt your honesty...I'm not going to be the only one to decide here. There's clearly moisture on the car, but on the flip side I see a pretty clear looking sky and only a few light looking clouds in your car's reflection.

We can deliberate if someone cries foul, but if someone puts up an affirmative on you meeting the challenge, I'm ok with us moving on to the next one. First reply(except from you, Spinnaker ;) ) following this post will determine the next course of action.

I say it counts!

On to the next one!

Boxster under a bridge it is, then. This one should be a cinch, ladies and gents.

I've been watching the game develop for some time. It seems every time a "challenge" comes up that say, "I can do that one", I'm in the mountains without the car. Soon I'll catch the timing right and have the car when the fountain or bridge comes up.

next: Boxster by a large water fountain at night.

Like I said, Spinnaker, we've got no reason to doubt you. I'm just trying to remain objective as much as possible, and if anyone was going to call foul, they would've probably pointed to those same things, figured I'd get them out there early. :cheers:

Welcome back tommy986, let's see if someone can find a fountain that's not in their yard...unless we've got some high roller on the forum with a large fountain on their lawn. :p

Egads, you guys forced me to dig out a tripod.

For your deliberation Overdrive, if you have any concerns about this picture.

The next one will be just about as hard as they come.

*Tommy986* - You took a nice pic for the "Under the Bridge" challenge. I really like the receding perspective of the road into the background, and the low angle of the light is nice.

Not so hard if you happen to know where one is parked. It's a Canadian Harvard MK.4 pilot trainer brought into service in July 1939, in case anyone wants to know.

Next: boxster at a drive-in burger stand

I dunno, Spinnaker...how can we be sure this is your Boxster, or that you're not an exceptional photoshopper? :p;)

(Before anyone actually takes this seriously, I'm only kidding, Spinnaker has his point, and we're waiting on someone to complete Mark_T's challenge. Onward!)

What is a 'drive-in burger stand'?

It that like a McDonalds drive through?

You usually find them in small towns. They are, like, a small building, basically a kitchen, on a parking lot. They generally have a window on the front where you walk up and place your order, and then when it's ready they call out your number and you pick it up and sit in your car to eat it. Sometimes they have carhops that come to you and take your order. Some of them might have a few picnic tables around the outside for patrons to use if the weather is nice. Up here they are typically seasonal, closing down for the winter months.

But no, not a drive-thru like Mcdonalds. A drive-in, like A&W used to be.

To me that sounds like a Sonic would suffice. It may be a bigger chain, but it's in the spirit of the old drive-in joints.

I'd never heard of Sonic but I just looked at a few pictures on Google. I had something a little more 60's era, Mom&Pop, wooden shack-ish in mind, but I suppose it would technically qualify.

Heck, if we're accepting toy cars photoshopped into side mirror reflections then I guess practically anything goes.

It wasn't Photoshopped, it was the actual reflection. In fact, I have never used Photoshop ever.:rolleyes:

Sorry Spinnaker - my bad. I thought it was a doctored photo. Please accept my most humble apology.

As was stated in the rules, no photoshopping allowed.

I think I may actually be able to get this picture, but unfortunately I may not be able to do so before the time limit is up...maybe I'll throw it up here anyways even if Mark_T has to meet his own challenge. We do have a place like that in a nearby town where one of the local car clubs held a weekly cruise over the summer...come to think of it, that's also where I could have taken my pic with the air-cooled '63 Bug.

Brilliant Idea
 

Here's an idea! Let's post pictures and challenges and cut the cr@p. It's boring to check this thread and find twenty postings of whining and counter-whining.

You're whining about the whining?

Sorry our conversation isn't sufficiently stimulating for you.

Better idea: You could help that along by meeting the challenge with a picture of your own and get a point, otherwise looks like you're doing the same thing you're complaining about. :cheers:

In other news, though I'm getting to this much later in the day, the 24-hour time limit for Mark_T to meet his own challenge has passed as of shortly past noon today. I'm afraid I will have to dock your most recent point, Mark_T, and you will have to present a new challenge for people to meet. Please post your new challenge ASAP.


And to Spinnaker, while I appreciate your revealing of your secret (impressive because I thought the reflection in your mirror was a photo), please refrain from posting pictures that are not meeting the most current challenge. We don't want anyone getting confused...it's bad enough that there are pretty big gaps between pictures and challenges due to conversation. :cheers:

Sorry, I didn't realize you were waiting on me - thought we were still waiting for someone to take the challenge. Dock the point if you want, but here's the pic:

Next: Boxster at a show'n'shine

?? show'n'shine?

Wow - I really seem to be hitting the cultural differences here It's a basically a local carshow. Usually one car club, or sometimes an event like a local fair, will sponsor it and invite other local car clubs to attend. They can happen at parks, parking lots, exhibition grounds, etc. Everyone shines up their car and brings it out to show it off.

We have a local restaurant, The Pony Corral, that sponsors one in their parking lot every Sunday night over the summer, featuring a different car group each week. The local PCA is featured at least once each summer. They have prizes, local radio stations set up camp, and it's pretty much a big tailgate party (is that another expression no-one knows?)

Boxster at a Show and Shine
 

Around here we call them cruises/meets/gatherings. The place I mentioned called Bart's is where one of those happened every week this summer hosted by one of the local car clubs.

There's an event called "Mark's Cruise Night" that happens every Monday over the summer and does the different car group/model thing each week, as well (Mustang night, Firebird/TA night, etc), but anything and everything shows up. The last one I went to had over 910 cars (I was 908), which blew my mind. There wasn't much grass to be seen in the field, it was pretty covered with cars.

So yeah, we know what you're talking about, at least I do, just by different names.

Piece of cake when you have one in the garage already. Didn't have to leave the driveway again.

Next - Boxster on a red brick road
