Morris Minor Picture challenge........

Post by **RogerRust** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 8:49 pm

but you didn't ask for a Morris Minor - just for a minor and I can see him in Ray's car!

One person requests a picture of something; landmark, road, building, object, anything. The first person to post up a picture of that subject wins.

But it can't just be any old picture - it must have YOUR car in the picture, somewhere. So for example, if I was to say "lighthouse", the winner would be the first person to post a picture of a lighthouse with their car somewhere in the picture, e.g. parked in front of the lighthouse.

I did read the rules carefully... and followed them ;-)

Glad this has taken off!

Your all getting the hang of it now!!

I dont set the challenges (just the first one!) the first poster is crowned the winner of the challenge and has the daunting task of setting the next challenge!

Their 'Minor', not their minor

Ok Ray think of something I can take a picture of with MY CAR in the shot!

Cake? Perhaps tea

We haven't finished the last challenge yet, or can I claim the next one even when my picture does not meet the criteria set?

There is a 'Photography Contest' on the other site, but there the rules are the rules

Ah forget it then.

sorry, seems no point - someone would surely object

To me, it was very, vey clear what was wanted. Even the thread is called ' Morris Minor Picture challenge'

But if it's that important, and no-one is going to meet the actual challenge set, then as you say Ray, forget it. Afterall it was only for a bit of fun, and now toys are being thrown out of prams. It really isn't worth it

Post by **rayofleamington** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 11:51 pm

Don't worry, no toys being thrown - just dissapointed that my efforts and humour were not appreciated.

Probably came across as harsher than intended but just had a brake failure on the way to see my dad's side of family (a lot less damage than last time I tried to visit them, as no police or injuries involved).

Just finished replacing the new (failed) brake shoes (with <500 miles on them), with the old ones I took off in May. When it comes to brake linings, you can see if rivets were not there, you can't see glue. Hence why they could use only a few dabs of glue, and risk a few lives

Are you ok? Not too much damage I hope?

Post by **rayofleamington** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:09 am

No physical damage thanks. We were lucky enough to be in a 30mph zone at the time (with a good handbrake), rather than 10 minutes earlier when we'd been heading between busy roundabouts at 60mph.

Luke still gets stressed about car crashes so a brake failure on the same route wasn't the best thing to happen.

Post by **Judge** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 7:56 am

You're both OK, that's the main thing.

I do understand your disappointment, but assure you that your humour was appreciated. As you say, comments can come across harsher than intended, and I had not had a particularly good day myself

Anyway, water under the bridge, do you want to set a new challenge.

Post by **rayofleamington** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:49 am

Sorry for the grumpyness

in hindsight I shouldn't have posted when having a bad day. Rubbish quality new parts is annoying, but when it risks people's lives it's hard to laugh it off

Next a pic of Morris* Minor at a non-Morris/Austin/Rover car meeting - including plenty of the other cars of course.

* or an Austin based (Minor) LCV

I was thinking VW Beetles (as they have regular rallies, and the Minor would show them up ;-) ) but on second thoughts that is far too specific and would put most people off.

'OJO' at Blenheim recently

Post by **Judge** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 12:11 pm

Too easy

but I'm happy to step aside and let someone else set the next challenge

Post by **d_harris** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 6:19 pm

Morris Minor next to a traditional (i.e set into the wall or on a brick plinth) post box?

Post by **stevey** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:47 pm

what about this, got the telephone boxes too.<br>

we need another challenge. make it something that i could do in New zealand, theres heaps of things coming up that i dont have a chance in doing because they are exclusively british. theres all sorts of universal things which can include everyone
