Guys, great entry turnout, thanks so much for making this work, I'm well pleased, theres some really really great pictures in there.

One more, which IS NOT in the comp, as it's been photoshopped. One I took of mine and Nick's car (Fake and PTF)

Good job Chris, and some great photos there :)

I see I wasn't the only one to take a vague interpretation of boats ;)

I'm glad I can't vote, It'd be too hard :P There are a couple of very nice sunsets there, and a nice angle used by Dave, hmm, which will win :)

Come on you lot ;) There should be a lot more votes than this looking at the amount of people who have been on here lately!

Due to slight mistermeaners, Scores should be Carl +1 and Steve -1 to those figures shown... :lol: I'm not fixing it, I promise!

Noobs...

Need to put this poll in a more prominent section of the site sometime, in General or something. Or if Aymat ever got off his ass, sort out the new sections of the site...

You mean you didn't vote for either of the photos of the car you used to own? Traitor!

Well, thanks Andy for firstly receiving my pic via MMS on his phone, then getting it to Chris for me. This explains the small pic from me, due to the phone resizing it to send it. It was taken on the Island of Kos near Greece, which is why it is pretty poor, I'm only in it for the taking part this time! I had to improvise, as the deadline was drawing near, and I'd not seen one Volvo near a boat at all! Then once it was all over, I managed to spot a 340, the only one on the island quite possibly, however not near a boat! Then quite a few good Volvo lorry shots in harbours etc.

Some fantastic entries guys, very impressive......
