Spring Photo Contest Winners!

boostdemon · 04-10-2003, 06:36 PM

Whopping 41 entries, 1/2 were in the running for pole positions.. trust me, this one was tough!

The winners this round are all worthy of being the feature car and it was pretty tough picking which out of the three would be up here. Well we combined votes and here's the standing:

First Place - Chris Convey with Rob Prince's sweet 242 in a classic country backdrop grabbed our attention right from the start. (pic)

Second Place - Roller_T with an awesome photograph of his 740tic. Looks straight out of a magazine doesnt it! Great job! (pic)

Third Place - Doug managed to grab a shot of his one week old paint job on his killer 242 before the sun went down. I'm sure there will be more great photos of this car soon. (pic)

It was quite obvious which photo won our "Turbobricks Spirit Award", Mike Towery happened to grab a shot of our winning car actually, on the dyno causing quite a scene. (pic)

Congratulations 8)

Good job guys, Congrats!

bitjockey · 04-10-2003, 09:55 PM

Yeah, this was ridiculously hard to judge. So many great cars and pictures.

Great job, guys! I'll be entering the next one :mrgreen:

Nice decisions....

I especially like the one of the 740, it does look right out of a magazine. Although I must say I am partial to the winning pic, seeing as how I hijacked Robs car that day and snapped it. Can I get some photo credit? ;)

Chris

towerymt · 04-10-2003, 11:05 PM

Job well done! I agree 100% with the results, and I'm a tough judge of photography too.

I'll DEFINITELY have something in the top 3 next time. Consistency is nice, but I want to win!

KBFinFan · 04-10-2003, 11:18 PM

Very nice pictures everyone!! I will be back to take my second place seat again come summer.. when my baby is all waxed and shiny..

In other news, I should get rid of my sig picture that features snow!

Hank Scorpio · 04-11-2003, 12:53 AM

woohoo for crooked bumpers and no wing ;) Im thrilled with 3rd... heck next time around it'll finally have decent wheels :D

rancidponymilk · 04-11-2003, 10:30 PM

Are the pictures going to go in the gallery?

boostdemon · 04-12-2003, 01:50 AM

yes, hopefully this weekend i'll be able to format and upload all the new photos to the gallery...

volvorsport · 04-19-2003, 01:30 PM

Its a shame the winner doesnt have a turbo , he could of had my MBC

never mind , youll just have to turbo it to claim your prize .

Hank Scorpio · 04-19-2003, 03:04 PM

Runner ups?!??!?

boostdemon · 04-19-2003, 04:35 PM

Koen's 122 photo... Chris's 242GT photo... Mike's photo of his car looking back from the red wagon..

there were lots of good photos. I'll upload them soon

Hank Scorpio · 04-19-2003, 04:55 PM

No I mean... can the runner ups get the MBC? lol

volvorsport · 04-19-2003, 07:15 PM

Dana , send it to him , just for loan and education purposes .

that should also keep him quiet , unless of course you have someone more worthy
!!!

boostdemon · 04-19-2003, 08:26 PM

Hank Scorpio · 04-19-2003, 09:00 PM

lol, I was just joking... but if you really want to ;)

Volvorules · 04-19-2003, 11:08 PM

Hey, I'm in the middle of swapping a B230FT into my other car, my Bertone, this weekend! Can I still get the MBC? I'll upload pics to prove it. Powerstroke intercooler and all

towerymt · 04-20-2003, 11:34 PM

An MBC would go nicely with my BOV-sound generator and FMIC-airbox (in progress).

volvorsport · 04-21-2003, 10:55 AM

we might have to auction this off Dana , proceeds to Tbricks .

who wants to start bidding in the for sale forum.

that is of course id doug doesnt really want to .

EDIT : missed that completely , rob , if you won , you get the MBC as long as you give me a good write up !

boostdemon · 04-21-2003, 11:47 AM

yeah i can drop it off to rob.. he's around the beltway from me

Volvorules · 04-21-2003, 10:39 PM

Sweet, thanks Dave and Dana. I'll be sure to let you know once the Bertone Turbo is up and running. Still have some wiring, exhaust, and little things to get done. Hopefully should be all installed by this weekend...Dana will you be up on Sat/Sun, whichever is decided for the GTG?

boostdemon · 04-21-2003, 11:08 PM

I'll be autocrossing Sunday morning, so you're on your own if it's the 27th. Same place we met J the B, so you can probably find it.

If it's saturday, I guess I can lead the way...if I have to.
