Oh, it is standing there in their museum :) There are around two dozens of other concept cars and prototypes of VW you never will see and never had seen in their time :) One of only two official build VW Corrado Convertibles, VW Polo GTI prototypes (two of three) of the actual one without the new facelift and around 10 prototypes of the 50s, 60s and 70s you never even had heard of. A very nice place to go in Wolfsburg and for only 6 Euros you can walk in :D

Can't you hate just Titanboy? :D He won last week and will most certainly win this week. Not because it's a Gallardo, but because it's a pic that can be considered perfect.

I feel a bit like entering a comp with the aim of coming second is a waste of what I think is a nice pic, but whatever. Maybe I'm the only one that likes my pic. :)

For me I don't mind if people post old pics. Althoug I don't have any pics prior than last December that I can bring to the competition..

i hope this shot is ok for the comp.it has no cars on it, just a beautiful picture of a snowy road.at the place where the powerlines are, there is a highway with a bridge running across a channel.

if this pic isnt suited for the comp, just tell me and ill find another one hidden somewhere on my HDD...

how do you take pics in gt4 and get them onto your PC ?

Using a USB flashcard.

I heard you can also use your digital camera, just use your USB cable and they'll end up on your memory card.. Then upload them into your pc.

Sounds like a great idea, maybe we should have a weekly GT4 comp.

Correct, except not all digital cameras allow for the transfer of GT4 pics IIRC. I just plugged the USB cable into my camera, transferred the pics, then plugged the USB into my computer, opened up the self-made "GT4 Pics" folder and they were in there.

Sorry I posted an older photo but I don't really support that rule....not cuz you just told me, but because say you took most of your photos at past Autoshows and concours why couldn't you post them here? Whats so bad about older photos?

the rule must be followed because alot of people have taken glorious pictures in the past and it wouldent be fair if the used the best of all their pics.. Imagine is Fastautos was allowed to use some of his old pictures! It would leave us in the dust.. So the Rule MUST BE FOLLOWED!!.
