V3M Photo Competition - Round 19 - 300 series Engine bay

Post by volvodspec » 04 Jul 2010 08:47 pm

those dawm spambots keep pushing the photo competition highlighted and so i noticed how long ago the last competition was... i browsed through the previous rounds and though i'm not in line to start a new topic here i thought that a new competition could be interesting to get the spirit back alive :lol:

so i thought about a subject and here it is: Engine bay competition., few simple rules:

- 300 series only
- engine bay pics only
- only pics that you made

modified, stock; dirty or clean.. it doesn't matter, as long as you think you'll send in a winning pic it's ok :wink:

since it's been a while, here's the link to round 1 for the global rules: http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... =29&t=3396

now get those pics coming! closing date 5th of august 2010!!!

glad you like it too Frits :D

i thought pb was fine? pics had to be uploaded to a filehosting service too so linky linky in my pb box will do ;)

we had a few diccifulties with the V3C-mailserver a while back and even though tests are o.k. i'm still not entirely comfortable with it for now, i seem to be getting less mail than a while back :?

Well done for getting the ball rolling again, Anjo :-) I fear I have the most unspectacular, averagely dirty engine bay around though. Will see what I come up with.

Cheers

Hmm ... I could send you a pic I took of YOUR engine bay :-) :-) But that would be missing the point a bit ...

I'll try & get my thinking cap on.

not really, since it does apply the rules :D

i've got a perfect picture of my 340t's engine bay; as on my signature pic but i didn't shoot that myself so doesn't count :(
