It was/is already fairly clear, just use your head mate.

 

edit: I can already tell that TDUFREAK's entry is going to cause a stir- its also fine. Im fairly certain that the E36 was raced in normal circumstances (as opposed to the E46 GT class cars, and the E92 GT3), and it was built within the year restriction. I dont care what you do to the car- even stanced out and bodykitted, its fine.

[superhyper]

When I saw the thread title and the fact that there's already 2 pages of discussion, I knew there was gonna be fighting/nitpicking/whatever. Sad how often these end up like that..

[Prophecy]

the question is, SH, do you understand the theme? :lol:

[superhyper]

I guess :p I'm gonna try to come up with something later today :)

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Do not fear, the loophole finder is here

[Prophecy]

Mate the rules are pretty clear, you'd basically be finding loopholes that the manufacturers came up with back in the day :P

 

edit: *Nismo briefing, 1988* 'they didnt say it had to be rear wheel drive or naturally aspirated!' and Godzilla was born.

[TimBud]

Dammit, I missed all the fun bickering.

Although I don't think I could add much to it... Nice one Pr0 for the pre emptive clarification in post 2.

 

Going for the twm vote ;)

I've got two pictures I've got to use.

 

Now I'll ask as one's a car that in the game they use the 2004 edition, yet the car it's self was first made in 1996 and was the same until they killed it off in 2004. (It's the Lotus Esprit V8)

Other is fine as from the 80's. Just asking and guess I know the answer but to be sure to be sure. :)

You guys with your fancy console games... :gmc:

[Eudemon]

The very good thing about this theme is there is sure to be a lot of variety in the entries, still waiting for someone to post a Cossie. :cool:

[superhyper]

Funny thing is, I was going to do just that but then the Forza Horizon servers went down and I can't get my photo downloaded :fp:

[Eudemon]

Always-online is the future!

I'm going to deny the Esprit, pretty much purely to keep to the rules, i'm sorry lol. (If I allowed that, then who's to say I wouldnt allow the R34- which im not allowing anyway, the JGTC R34 does not count as its race counterpart because its basically NASCAR- or the Spirit R, as they have versions from the 90s)

[Milli]

2 great cars (CLK-GTR and M1) and 2 awful locations.

 

CLK is in a place totally wrong for it, which imo, is ruining the photo, and the M1 is too bland, get it in a cooler place, with better lighting/shadow, maybe under a tree or something. lol

[Ryzza5]

Do you want him to get more votes than us or something Milli? Keep quiet :lol:

[TimBud]

Milli, I chose that location because it has the lighting I prefer for black photo's... not too much background crap going on that distacts from the actual subject of the shot.

Why bother eh... I guess if I put in a GT5 location you'd love it right. FS.

:rolleyes: :)

That said though, I have just driven down the track a few hundred yards which has allowed me to get a better background contrast against the car.

 

Santu, I had issues with FM.net last night too... only just been able to get a bigshot uploaded to it.

[superhyper]

Was balancing between this and the Escort but decided to go with this as I wanted to enter with a Horizon shot for the first time :nods:

 

[TimBud]

Lol, Milli. Really... thats how you give advice?! Blimey :eek:

[Ryzza5]

Next person who bickers in this thread will be dealt with by staff :evil:

[Ryzza5]

If you are only communicating to one person - use the PM system, the rest of us don't need to see it.

[Milli]

What happened here? :eek:
