Oh boy...I could easily spend 5 hours on this one :D I'm sitting here trying to get a little work done before monday morning...and my mind is wandering off to a sunset in Toscana...

Well - looking forward to another great CCCL hehe ;)
 
This is a fantastic theme, I had a 2 person photo-shoot with the 300SL at Toscana yesterday. Again, great theme Rob.


Here is my Final Entry.

Kickin' off the comp.



Click to big, looks better then.

If your interpretation of a Grand Tour involves traveling with a friend, then yes. :D

Glad you guys like the theme. I'll be having fun watching this thread. :)
 
@GTuned: The winding road gets to me and with combination of the sunset illuminating the asphalt.

Am I aloud to use the chromeline 300 SL?
Click to expand...

I admit I should have been more clear in the theme, but I think we should stick to just the regular 300SL for the sake of fair competition. :)

Also, LOCATION: Toscana Tarmac


Edit: Actually, maybe we should allow the Chromeline 300SL. Just to prevent confusion and frustration. ;)

Damn it Gtuned..... raising the bar here to level impossible :crazy:
Seeing all the quality entries lately, this comp will be totally ridiculous. Toscana and the Mercedes...... and 2.0 as someone said before.

Let the games begin 👍

This brings up a good question (and i'm not trying to get you into any trouble kaede) but is the Chrome Line 300SL eligible?
Click to expand...


I didn't have it in mind originally. However, seeing as the only visible difference between them is the paintjob, I'm officially including it in the theme.

However, let me remind you that I am looking for much more in these photos than just shiny paint. ;)

Edit: I didn't include the Chromeline Edition 300SL in the theme. Therefore, not legal.

I would vote for not eligible. Because this car is not listed in the OP, it simply doesn't fit the requirements...
After all this comp is about "Certain Car..." and not "Certain Cars".
 
Nevermind what I said before, technically they are different cars in the game, and I didn't include the Chromeline Edition in the theme. Therefore, Chromeline Edition is not legal. That is my final answer.
