Further explanation of the theme, provided by winner GPR:

"Being a H2H week I thought we'd step back in time and photo battle to the death! :P Basically you can choose any German car or cars for one side or a British or American car or cars for the other. The German side must only have a German car in it and for the allied forces you can have either a British or American car or both. Multi car it single it's up to you."


CARS: Any German OR British/American
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Must either choose a German car or a British/American car.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

I might enter in this one because there seems to be a lack of German cars. Nice entries everyone 👍
 
Would this count as part of the German side or British side? Or is it not a valid entry?

*Not final entry


Hmm, tough one. Well technically it falls over both sides but since I have stated the shot can only feature one side, this probably doesn't qualify, sorry Maz. :( It is a very nice shot though. 👍

Well seems like there's an entry total that doesn't exceed the poll list quota so I'm going to allow it then. ;)

May I upload an image that is already on my computer, not on a image hosting website(With the new "Upload a File" Feature)? I will give an example if needed. Thanks :)
 
Great entries guys :drool: Looks like Ze Germanz are going to be out battled in this one...

Really looking forward to your match in the tournament by the way ;)
Thanks zambuca, I was going to go on the German side but then I remembered about the Triumph Spitfire and just had to go with that instead. You can't have a WWII dogfight without a Spitfire! :)

The tourney match should be interesting - it's a challenging theme and I'm not sure how to tackle it just yet. Triple z could get the better of triple 7 on this one but I'll put up a fight. ;) All the best zzz_pt. 👍
 

Final Entry



- American -
Ummm i have 1 problem with this pic... isnt it technically a hybrid? im pretty sure you cant change the color of the stingray so...

If you can paint it sorry! it looks AMAZING in that red!

So, 2 more hours, then? Aww, okay, I won't make it in time.
 
@GPR personally I would just keep this open until SlipZtrEm is ready for as long as you don't have the full quota for the poll. ;)
