  1. Celica photo challenge.

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by misterC

    Don't think this one is going to go anywhere now.

    I had the same thought last night.

    It's a shame really as I've always enjoyed the photo challenges but it is a thread that alternates between great flurries of activity and then weeks of apathy :)

    Two options then:-

    I'll set a new, easy-to-achieve challenge and hope to get the thread moving again

    or

    We'll have a quick show of hands as to whether to mothball the challenge :o;)

    So option 1. Your Celica outside your house !!!! ( Very acheivable for most members with a Celica, a camera and a house :o:) )

    The future of the photo challenge rests in your hands.

  2. Celica photo challenge.

    Thanks for the updated list, saves me searching :lol:

    Anyway just to recap the new challenge was amended to include artificial trees as below :-

    "Your Celica with a Christmas tree (real or fake) in the back/boot on it's way to the recycling centre/it's normal place for the rest of the year

    So the people with artificial trees take them out to your car, get a snap then put them away in their box"

    My tree is a fake one and goes back in it's box.

    In fairness to all, the new challenge has been amended to:-

    Your Celica with a Christmas tree (real or fake) in the back/boot on it's way to the recycling centre/it's normal place for the rest of the year

    So the people with artificial trees take them out to your car, get a snap then put them away in their box

    No excuses this year not to keep this thread moving along :):puke:

    OK, this has been an abject failure. Shame on you all. Strike one for me.

    So I will scrub it and replace to get moving along again.

    How about your Celica with a 'Happy New Year' neon light sign.

    Following on from this previous post by myself :-

    ".................................on walking back into the house I managed to drop the bloody camera and now it doesn't work

    Luckily it was discussed the other night that my Xmas pressie might be a new camera as I've found 1.3 Million Pixels not very good quality these days "

    I did indeed get a new camera as a pressie (12.2 million pixels :D ), so to celebrate I have taxed the silver Sunchaser for 6 months and the first trip out was to get this shot:-

    SAM_0003.jpg

    It's not a neon sign but a revolving LED sign saying "We wish you all a Happy New Year" which is why it actually shows "ppy New Year"

    but if it's good enough I'll set a new challenge.

    Let's try to make it a New Year's Resolution to try and keep this thread moving :):puke:

    Probably. Need to be really unique now to avoid repetition. Something like CCUK open on a laptop but showed in the reflection of your car :o

    P1010216.jpg

    An open laptop with the CCuk front page and me trying to cover the flash with my finger :) all reflected in the driver's side window of the silver Sunchaser.

    I hope this was the new challenge set as on walking back into the house I managed to drop the bloody camera and now it doesn't work ;):P

    Luckily it was discussed the other night that my Xmas pressie might be a new camera as I've found 1.3 Million Pixels not very good quality these days :o

    Your Celica.... with a wheel off, only one though!

    MisterC Garden Productions proudly presents :-

    P1010212.jpg

    I had to change a wheel on my sister's Micra so it would have been rude not to stick the jack under one of the cars B)

    Next challenge in keeping with the change of seasons, your Celica next to a pile of leaves or actually covered in leaves.

    OK Bill - seeing as everyone obviously keeps their cars scrupulously clean, and you've risked the wrath of the detailing freaks by potentially scratching your paint with drawing in the dust :P - what's the next challenge?

    Angus

    I've only just noticed the writing since you've said that - what a filthy state to keep a Celica in :DB)

    Next challenge it is then!

    Still a pub with prince in the name...

    If this one carries on for much longer I'll be taking a trip to the Prices Charles.

    --

    Google maps search of my local area for 'prince pub' says there's one within a mile! The things you learn.

    I was thinking the thread had gone a bit quiet too, so had a drive past the Prince of Wales in Crewe at the weekend. Trouble is it's the rougher end of town and a group of local likely lads were hovering outside :lol::lol: So I took the camera to work but it appears Chester doesn't have a 'Prince' pub anymore. So a detour to Winsford on the way home produced this rather poor quality photo:-

    prince.jpg

    The Princes Feathers at Winsford.

    Next challenge, hopefully easier and quicker to sort but on the same theme:-

    Your Celica next to a pub with 'Arms' in the name.

    I went for the dramatic approach :D Plus im always scared for my life driving through Bracknell so getting out of the car i wanted to be quick!

    Plus i was going by the style of the rest of the pics as they mostly seem to be on double yellows i was trying to get as many yellows as possible!

    The way these photos are going I wouldn't be suprised if you set the next challenge as your Celica abandoned halfway across a busy pelican crossing :lol::D:lol:

    OK let's keep it moving then :(

    Next challenge is your Celica next to a video shop (Blockbuster that sort of thing).

    Just to keep this thread alive here's a pic of my Corolla next to a Blockbuster to show it's a simple challenge :lol:

    P1010203.jpg

    So who's up for fufilling the request of your Celica next to a video shop :lol:;):(

    Hang on its supposed to be in afield on its own,if you look closely you can see people in the background :D:P

    I did ask the question if it was suitable:-

    This any good??

    Trentham Gardens Show 2007 with me virtually last off the site :)

    And got the answer from the challenge setter:-

    yeaaaaah mrC has it (again) :)

    I've found from previous replies that such pedantry over responses slows the spontaneousness of what can be sometimes a slow-moving thread :P:P:P

    I await a picture of your Celica in a field :D:):D

    Nice find !

    I've had two of those, the green one was auto, the silver one 6-speed manual. Both the Z28 with the LT1 5.7 litre V8 like that onecamaro1.jpg

    Z28FRi.jpg

    And I looked through my photos last night but even though I still had them when I bought my first Sunchaser I've got no photos of them together.

    Next challenge please :o

    Is there anything you havnt got inyour garden :lol: ,,hold the chalenge im on it tommorow,,,would a celica next to a jumbo jet get you or is there one in the shed :)

    Funny you should say that as I could actually do that :lol: The local scrapyard has got a plane in minus its wings and can be clearly seen from the road.

    As for what's in the garden, this is a pic from tonight:-

    p1010195.jpg

    In shot seven Toyotas (4 Sunchasers, a 1979 Corolla Liftback, a 1993 Corolla, a damaged MR2 Mk2), a Nissan Micra, a Vauxhall Astra (behind the Micra), a Honda CBR600RR...........and out of shot a Honda CD185, a Honda VFR750, a Kawasaki Z650, a Honda CBX250, a Francis Barnett Cruiser.

    I'm going to have to stop buying things :o:(

    The daughter will be most disappointed the handstand challenge has been done as we were waiting for some dry weather to do this:-

    P1010194.jpg

    Anyway the challenge is your Celica next to an American car, extra points for a convertible.

    Well try this for size:-

    LHDwithRHDbackground.jpg

    My red UK Sunchaser in the background with my US LHD Sunchaser in the foreground. It's a convertible and technically it's American as the LHD cars were converted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

    I'll set the next challenge if a 'proper' Yank car doesn't appear in the next few days.

    Not 100% sure if this is still the challenge, but I still like the photo.

    The challenge was:

    Any pet/animal in your celica except a dog (you can't keep them out of cars).

    My entry was a repost from an earlier challenge, so I wasn't counting it unless we got desperate.

    So in my book, your turn to set a challenge :thumbs:

    I so want that to be left hand drive :thumbs:

    It's funny you should say that because when I had this

    camaro1.jpg

    which was left hand drive, he'd sit exactly the same in the passenger seat (which of course was on the right hand side).

    Now that did get some funny looks and double takes :):)

    Ok anyone who had a pet rodent has probably seen it pass on since this challenge was offered so lets say any pet/animal in your celica except a dog (you can't keep them out of cars).

    So I guess I'll have to use this photo again :D

    sheep1.jpg

    The eagle-eyed members will know I used this some time ago when the challenge was along the lines of your Celica next to a sheep.

    If no-one can do an original shot I'll set a new challenge on Friday evening.
