Mk2 Picture Challenge Thread

**leecatd8209** · 03-22-2011 05:35 PM

Saw this on a Bimmer site. It was pretty cool, and got really creative.

Post up a picture of a Mk2 (preferably yours) that meets the challenge criteria. If you post up the pic, choose a new challenge.

Rules:
Challenge photo must be taken AFTER the challenge is issued.

One you complete a challenge, you must post a picture with a new, and original challenge, nothing too outlandish, or obscure.

While being creative, the new challenge must be generic. This is an international "event", so it needs to be accessible to everyone. Ex: Picture of car in front of monument. NOT picture of car in front of Washington monument.

Any car may be used for the sake of keeping the game moving. Mk2s are encouraged.

This is meant to be somewhat fast paced, so quality of photos isn't really important. However, they must be discernible.

Also, it doesn't matter if you have a super slammed, shaved, show car, or a daily beater, post up those pics. No one is/should be judging your car in this thread, just having fun with the challenges.

Make it work?

1st Challenge: Mk2 next to a farm animal.[/QUOTE]

PS: I've seen similar things done at large G2Gs. A list of photo ops is given, and everyone must turn in an SD card with all the pictures taken on it by a certain time, sort of like a big scavenger hunt. The person who gets all the photo ops the best, first wins.

Normally the way this works (often done on motorcycle boards) is you must take the picture AFTER the challenge is issued and it must be of your vehicle. (doesn't have to be your mk2, but a car you own or are riding in).

So if the first person says "your car with a firetruck", you need to go out and take a picture with your car and a firetruck in the picture. Then you take a picture of your car with something else, and post that up as the example for the next challenge!

Again, the picture must be taken after the challenge is issued, not an old picture from last week or 5 years ago that happens to meet the criteria.

Nothing illegal and please try to keep it to stuff that anybody can find. Also can't be a specific thing, has to be a general thing. Anybody can find a fire truck, but not Chicago FD truck #45, just a fire truck.

Here are some examples of things that make good challenges:

Water towers
power generation
creepy old industrial building
pier (close enough)
Urban sprawl
fire tower
watering holes
ice cream maker
observation post/one room school house
mile markers
Giant gnomes
community pools
wildlife
Lodge
museums
lawn art
Exotic animals
River crossing
Bandstands
Cabooses
Graffiti
cool old diner sign
Ambulance
tool booth photo by attendant
heavy equipment
moose crossing sign
topiary
waterfalls

Alright made it back from my fun drive with my girlfriend! First stop was to take a picture with a buffalo to complete challenge #1.

Actually there is a llama farm around the corner from me and two peacocks behind my house....

My golf is still in the works. Needs bench bleed and coolant, and more bad ass flat black paint.

**Dub'd86** · 03-22-2011 10:38 PM

Nothing stopping you from smuggling said Lamas or Peacocks into your garage.

**leecatd8209** · 03-22-2011 10:43 PM

Awesome, keep it going!

Peacocks have the most ridiculous mating sounds. Someone post up a pic of their car with a boat. Doesn't one of your rich and/or redneck neighbors have a boat in the backyard you can borrow?

**VW4Life66** · 03-23-2011 10:22 AM

I like it, keep it going.

**geneworld** · 03-23-2011 11:57 AM

Yeah, still looking for car next to a daffodil.

I'm out, got 10" of snow last night, another 4-6" expected tonight.

**ennui_delphian** · 03-23-2011 05:45 PM

Daffodils are always the first flower out of the ground at springtime, I figured at least another virginian would chime in seeing as how those and cherry blossoms are everywhere now.
