Seeing as I don't have a 300 I now have to go and lurk by the side of the road in the hope that;

a) a 300 drives by
b) it's in decent enough condition
c) the car is travelling in the right direction for the sun not to ruin the pic
d) the background is interesting enough for the pic to stand a chance of winning.

Some bloody hope!
For a start, you don't have to take the picture yourself, the rules say
The photos in this round should be either self taken or contain your car...
The rules haven't changed since the previous competitions and so if all you can find is a boat or a lorry in motion you can enter it (if it's a good enough photo)!

How do we decide if the photo is good enough? Simply enter it, and if it wins, it was good enough!

Stop whining!
