black one - white. Cars can be parked or can be in motion. No limitations more! Have fun!" 👍
Cars: Any.

Phototravel: No.
Unique Restrictions: See above and only 2 cars in the picture.
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.
- Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge ShaolinMasta Via
Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
considered for the poll. - Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
direct link to the full size image. - Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
with it. - One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
- Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed. - 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.
- Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
- Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
- The Judge will select their favourite 12 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
- The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owner
of the photo. - 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. - It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
- It is also recommended to turn on the "privacy" of your entry image. Flickr users will need
to provide the judge with a direct link to the fullsize image when set to private as the link
used with the Share option won't be accessible to the judge/host.
What you may not do to a photo:
- Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.

What you may do to a photo:
