I washed the Volvo on Saturday, but can't think of any sporting pictures to take.

Well, one idea comes to mind but I'm away for the weekend so won't be able to follow it up. Grrr.

I'm hoping to get a picture on Saturday............ but it's looking very unlikely that my USB port is going to let me retrieve the pictures....... I'll see what I can do though. My sport will be different that's for sure, just not too sure how I can get a good picture of it though!

It's a tricky topic to get a great photo for, so sadly I may end up with another cheap entry ;) We'll see if anything comes up...

Free your mind, try to think alternative ways than those first come to mind, I can tell you there is unlimited possibilities in this, there may be some ideas even without moving your car at all ;)

Yes, it can be tricky until you crack the peanut :D

Email sent Jani..........

Once again I stand no chance.... I'm just making up the numbers and taking part. I had a nice idea planned, as of today, but the reserve camera decided it wasn't going to play ball (no pun intended in any sporting way) and I expect the USB connection wouldn't have worked if it had taken a picture! So once again I had to resort to using the blooming camera on my phone........... not ideal. Anyway........... it'll be interesting to see everyone elses entries.

Crikey, this deadline flew up from no where, and I havn't got my entry yet :( Oh well, next time...

EDIT: Well a late entry has been made, although I'm sure it won't win. If only we could use old pics, I'd enter Chris's car going round the Haynes track. That's a point Chris, did you ever blow it up to put on your wall :P

Damn, with going on holiday and some crazy stuff going on at the mo I've forgotten to get something sorted. May have to be something from the photos I've already got again, unless that's not allowed this time (it probably wont even be my current car)
