Boxster Picture Game Thread

[ProjectM96]

wow, I have not checked back on this thread for a week. So many updates since then.

[ketsa]

Hakkari water tower, Lempäälä City.

Next: Boxster in front of an ice hall.

Whats an Ice Hall? Ice Rink?

[Mark_T]

a nice hall?

[ketsa]

The hall where you play ice hockey. My net dictionary says "ice hall"... What is the right word?

[Overdrive]

I think we were able to figure it out, ketsa. In the US/Canada the term used is "hockey rink", but no worries. Let's see what people come up with.

Current Challenge: Boxster in front of an ice hall (a.k.a. hockey rink)

[ketsa]

Ok. I have learn two things today, the road to local water tower and new word "ice rink".

Not a bad day

[Spinnaker]

Next: Boxster in a tunnel of trees with fall colors.
(Anyone betting that Ketsa is warming up his camera right now.)

P.S. Overdrive - I drove 36 miles to get this one and even had to drive past the Ikea store.

[Mrmaddbrad]

Gosh dang it!! My entire town follows the theme of the next picture!! I live around huge redwoods!! To bad i dont have my boxster right now

[Overdrive]

Nice job, Spinnaker. Mrmaddbrad, I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet challenges once you get your Boxster, hang in there.

[Spinnaker]

As of challenge #228, the point totals to the best of my abilities to total them are:
tommy986 10
ketsa 10
Spinnaker 9
ProjectM96 6
Mark T 3
thstone 2
tonycarreon 2
sasha055 2
Jager 2
Lobo1186 1
Johnny Danger 1
986rgt 1
Highlow (Robo-Top) 1
DenverSteve 1
bobdogwv 1

I have a proposal. In order to have a winner and bragging rights, there would have to be a defined ending point. Would there be any interest in having this be a yearly contest? On 12/31/11 the points would be totaled up and the winner for 2011 declared. The winner for 2011 can add to their signature "2011 Boxster Picture Game Winner". Then we could start over for 2012 with a clean slate and a new "moon".

(Overdrive - PM me with your email and I will send you the Excel spreadsheet file I made to keep track of the points.

My 48 is up and I'm a little stymied here. The pic from TopSide Racing doesn't quite meet the challenge. I don't see any fall colors. But, then again, evergreen trees are green all the time, so technically they are fall colors. They also didn't post the next challenge. What to do, Overdrive?
Here's my pic for the" Boxster in a tunnel of trees with fall colors". Might be a smidge early for the leaves to turn but I found one that obliged with a nice orange glow. The rest are just starting to turn color.
My next challenge would have been a "Boxster in a bunch of trees" anyhow, so they did meet that challenge before I posted it. Ketsa could have just resubmitted his water tower pic.
So, all we have to do is get a challenge from TopSide Racing?

[TopSide Racing]

I have just started to post pictures on this thread. I am just having a good time posting them. As for the challenge on the photo, as you said Evergreens don't change color in the winter. I think it is only fair to give the points to members who have been posting pictures for the entire season/year of the competition. Thanks for setting up this thread. It is great to see all the pictures and diffrent backgrounds with our cars in them.

I'll donate an authentic Johnny Danger keychain that's color matched to the winner's boxster !

[ketsa]

I had a racetrack weekend, so my camera is full of VW Bug pictures... But tomorrow morning I'm ready to hunt Boxster pictures, so what we are looking for?

[Overdrive]

Ok, folks, sorry for being a bit absent for the events happening here. Again, I don't want to feel that the decision has to only come down to me, but I think what Spinnaker posted is pretty much what was expected.

TopSide, if I'm reading your response right and you're simply posting up pictures in the thread, I'm going to have to ask that you don't unless it's intended to meet the challenge posted, as it's going to cause some confusion for those following the challenges. Also, if you do post to meet a challenge, you should post up your challenge to everyone else in bold, as it is stated in the rules. Don't worry about taking the pic down (it's a nice one), but I think we'll go with Spinnaker retaining his point and have Spinnaker put up the next challenge.

I don't really see a problem with your suggestion of ending at the end of the year for this first shot at a picture game thread, Spinnaker. I was actually thinking of having it be a month-to-month thing at some point, and maybe seeing about there being a sort of lil' prize for folks (like Johnny Danger's suggested car color-matched keychain...it's like you guys are in my head!), for whoever gets the most points in the month, and then maybe a bit bigger prize for most in the year. However, I feel there'd have to be a rule change going back to people going out and taking the pictures for the express purpose of meeting the challenge rather than being able to use recent pictures.

I think it'd have to be a discussion, but not one that I'd want to clog up this thread with. Seeing as we've got plenty of PM space now, folks can go right ahead and PM me suggestions and discussions, and I'll PM you my e-mail to get that spreadsheet, Spinnaker, and confirm your points total. I appreciate that.

[Spinnaker]

OK, if it is left up to me, then the next challenge will be: Boxster in front of a bakery
Try not to buy too many pasteries while you are there. Adds too much sprung weight. But then again, the 987's don't have a spare tire, so you can build your own, one donut at a time.

edit:
Updated totals
Everytime I try to do this, I get a different total. Overdrive, you better check this closely. There are so many reposts from trying to retain points, it gets confusing.
