Competition Of The Month.

Tender Loving Care


It's competition time again and this month we would like you to show off those photographic skills


The brief:
Basically there have been threads up along the lines of " what have you done to the e30 today/plans for the weekend ETC. A lot of people seem to be catching up with those small routine tasks, some people, Matt for EG. I know your totally revamping your whole care, as are others including myself. This month wed like to see pictures of your car having some TLC....be it in its current state, prepped for paint...maybe covered in soap suds as part of its usual wash or just whatever little tasks youve been performing on the car. This is a tricky theme so get creative.


The rules:
It must be your own art work and not plagiarised from the net. There will be plenty of time to get your art work complete and voting will take place via a poll once everyone has submitted their designs.

No asking on other forums for people to vote either!


Entries close on the 23rd
Voting will start on either the 23rd or the 24th

Votes close on the 30th of each month and the winner will be annouced after that


Note.... We will be running another picture competition every 3 months. (E30s of the season) The winners of the monthly competition will automatically be entered into the draw. The prize will be significantly larger, however the only way to win this prize will be to enter the monthly competition with a good enough photo to gain entry.

The prize? Think something along the lines of a strut brace, quick shift kit, Service kit. ect ect

So you have to be in it to win it.


Going to make a point of sorting out prizes etc this weekend, Obviously previous winners will be contacted and Id also like to do a little Q and A with the winners and maybe have a thread for them to show off the winning car. Goodluck guys!!
