Congrats to Clarence for winning last week.

* Each person who enters must cast a vote in the same week to remain eligible. You may not vote for yourself.

* Winning image must not be of TDU2 as you risk account suspension.

* Winner picks the next theme, unless winning consecutively, in which case the runner up decides.

* Winner has 48h to PM a new theme to me or another member of staff if I'm away, if they fail to meet this then the theme will be a free round.

* Competition is limited to games on all platforms of any age that are classified as driving/racing games. (i.e. FPS games that have cars in them wouldn't be eligible). Please mention what game your screenshot is from.

Is this valid?

*changed*

[Ryzza5]

As far as I know Sedan = 4 doors (2 doors are coupes).

edit: no fun to be had here

Don't forget the dimensions mate, shame too as GTA V produces some epic stills. And a common way to remember what constitutes as saloon/sedan is the term "dad car", a fast sleek looking car that has plenty of space for the kids in the back due to being a 4-door. Annoyingly many 4-doors are called 5-door hatchbacks and even coupes due to their rounded rear, saloons used to be flat ended basically.

[TimBud]

Yeah, dimensions were as close as I could be bother to get form such a small size. :)

 

The tailgater is not a Saloon?

[Eudemon]

No it is, it's the image that's small I think. :hmmm: wonder if attempting a panorama would be worth a try?

[TimBud]

There's a panorama option in GTA?... oh, will have a check.

 

Or are you suggesting a faff around with multiple shots and stitching them together? :rolleyes:

[Eudemon]

The latter unfortunately, I'm trying to think if the camera position returns to what was shot previously as that would make it easier.

[TimBud]

Might have a fiddle when I'm back from the dentist tomorrow then... might ;)

[Eudemon]

Ok, but after fiddling with yourself jump on the game and see what you can do. :cheeky:

[TimBud]

:fp:

hahahahaha :lol:

Here's my entry

Merc W124 from SLRR

[Prophecy]

Ooh yes, spot. What to pick... Heres an interesting one- forza counts the HSV Holden commodore as European... They were sold in Britain as a Vauxhall, depite it being an Australian made car- would they count for this comp?

[Ryzza5]

Part of the theme (as communicated to me) was to do with the native country of the car (which is why Jags are permitted even though they're Indian), so my thinking for the HSV would be no.

[Prophecy]

So in a couple of years Holden will be eligible, along with cherry and great wall in a china themed comp? :P fair enough, some AMG or something coming soon ;)

This is literally the only pic I can find... will have to search for another..

[Paladin Skylark]

Holden will always be natively Australian, so obv doesn't count.

The manufacturer has to be natively European, Jag is Middle Eastern now, but it's natively European.

Just like Ford is American, so don't try and enter one of those..

 

Temp entry

 

Prophecy's entry (his browser isn't working with the site for some reason.

[Eudemon]

Would originating country be the best term then for what you want?

[Prophecy]

The problem was (...is) with my Nokia Lumia 925- it runs Windows, and basically the IE browser app does not like whatever this forum is built on, I can post no problem on other forums, but the text boxes here dont work. Maybe you guys could look into making it more compatible? Not sure how many of us use Windows phones/devices though. Oh and no, you cant get Chrome or Firefox (or any other browser, as of yet) for Windows phones, which sucks...
