Well, Dave won GTSC6 with his Audi Le Mans Quattro. Finally toppled the JohnMark machine and broke through to win.

As such, Dave has earned the right to choose the parameters for GTSC7. And here they are:

Vehicle: Any Subaru Impreza
Track: Trial Mountain

You've got a week... I'll take entries up until next Saturday at midnight. READY GO

[Armageddon Sunset]

Im so in on this one, I love Trial Mountain....and I wouldnt mind taking a scooby for a spin.

[Gorge]

I'll give this a go if I can remember to do so.

Are we allowed to have another car in the picture, so long as an Impreza is in the picture?

[lone_gunman16]

Are we allowed to have another car in the picture, so long as an Impreza is in the picture?

Yes, as long as the Impreza is in the picture.

[Dave]

Righty then. I've got me anoter working PS2 (not for long, mind) so I'm taking advantage of this. You'll have my picture in shortly, after I've had another play on GT mode.

[JohnMark]

I have a billion photos of the Mitsubishi Lancer on Trial Mountain, but not any Imprezas on it. I'm going to hate this because the Sony controller feels better with the stiffness of the analog sticks, with my 3rd party controllers they are too loose and I oversteer a lot. But I'll get in a picture for sure.

[Sultan]

I'm in. I uploaded a pic, but it was a scooby at El Capitan. Darn. I'll get it in tommorow.

I have some others I'll post in the album thread.

[Dave]

Okay, I've had a play around and bought me a Scooby 22B. Here's the pic:

(I have a larger picture but for some reason the quality sucks. It's here: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y88/Davesta/22BDrift2.jpg)

Whoops, posted the wrong link for the larger one.

[Sultan]

Nice blurriness, but is there smoke?

[Dave]

Yeah, if you look closely. But the thing is, it's going to fast to see the smoke. For some reason fast drifts don't seem to show more than a few puffs of smoke in GT4.

[Falken89]

Are rally Imprezas allowed or not? Because I wanted to give it a try, even if I actually suck at taking pics :D

[Dave]

Any impreza is allowed. That includes rally versions, and the race car.

[Falken89]

Thanks Dave, then here's my pic, if I can....

Car: 2003 Subaru Impreza WRC
Track: Trial Mountain

Hope it's not too bad (well, it is :bawl: )

and BTW, your pic is just awesome Dave :D

[lone_gunman16]

I think I'm going to try and get a picture in for this one.

wow, I can't believe I've been here for 3 years.

[Dave]

Wow, this contest is popular! Looks like we're gonna have loads of entries.

Thanks Falken, yours is pretty good too, and congrats Lone on being here 3 years :).

Aw man, and there was me thinking I had a chance! That's an awesome pic, no doubt who I'll be voting for!

Thanks you morons for making it tough to pick one to vote for.That's nice... :rolleyes:

[Gorge]

Just for future reference. Is there any way to go frame by frame through the replays? Because its really hard to try and catch a picture of some backfire or small jumps or other things that happen really fast.

[Sultan]

No there's no way to do that.

BTW Gorge, thank you for the very nice comment.

[Dave]

Catching things like that - that's called being a good photographer. ;)

[Sultan]

Catching things like that - that's called being a good photographer. ;)

And having very good reflexes...reflejos

[Gorge]

Catching things like that - that's called being a good photographer Yea, i'd say its more about being quick with the select button. If the game had a speed shutter option then it wouldn't be much of a problem. Oh well, I'm happy with the picture I got anyways.

[Dave]

Well, if you're a photographer in real life, and you don't have a speed shutter, I'd say that being quick with the shutter button comes under being a good photographer. I know I've spent hours before going through replays trying to press the button at exactly the right time. It takes patients and decent reflexes, but the result is always worth it...

Anyway, this should be an interesting contest with so many entries.

[Velocity]

Hot damn there are a lot of entries this time around. I still haven't gotten mine in yet. :link:

Also, Gorge, I'm gonna caution you for the "morons" comment. Don't do it again.

[lone_gunman16]

Looks like you better hurry. :P

[Armageddon Sunset]

for those of you who dont realize this; it is a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GD, Type-II) on Trial Mountain :rolleyes:

[Sultan]

HAHAHAHAHA AS, you definately fooled me! :argue:

Is that a Subaru? Looks more like JohnMark's Evo. :P

Congrats Dave, you managed to create (somehow) the most popular contest to date!

[Gorge]

I just realized I won't be in town this weekend. When does voting start, and how long is it going to go on?

[Sultan]

You've got a week... I'll take entries up until next Saturday at midnight.

By that I would assume day after entries stop.

[Velocity]

Yes, the voting starts when I make the poll thread. :link: I usually make the vote period five days.

[lone_gunman16]

:link: I usually make the vote period five days.

Plus a few days for "forgetfulness". :wink:

I wonder what would happen if upstanding members such as ourselves weren't around.....:angel:

[Armageddon Sunset]

and for more when looking at my entry, you can click either next or previous (above the top right hand side of the picture) and see my other 2 STi pics I might of used

[lone_gunman16]

Uh, AS, you do realize that the car for this contest is a Subaru and not a Mit Lancer?

[Velocity]

[Armageddon Sunset]

SH*T! if I used the wrong car am I allowed to repost a pic with the correct car......and Im also on the wrong track, sorry bout that guys. :bashhead:

[lone_gunman16]

lol lone Reading ftw.


I have been pwned.

[Sultan]

SH*T! if I used the wrong car am I allowed to repost a pic with the correct car......and Im also on the wrong track, sorry bout that guys. :bashhead:

If it doesn't say you can't, why not? Hurry up and change it unless Velocity won't allow it.

[Armageddon Sunset]

Ok Im done being funny. my pic is a STi. and its the one Im using.

[JohnMark]

I'm back everyone (my computer failed to boot Windows XP so I used the recovery thing on the SP2 CD, so I played GT4 and used my wheel) and I see your peculiar posts.

AS: WTF, that is easily the Subaru Impreza (you can see the IMPREZA plate.) Unless someone can tell me the joke. And also tell me about the wrong car/track thing.

Sultan: That is impossible to be an Evo. I don't understand why you say it's my Evo.

lone_gunman16: Yes, you've been pwned, and you have been at Gamewinners well over 3 years. Maybe 3 or 4 months over that.

[Sultan]

There was a :P for a reason...Go figure...

[Dave]

That clear things up?

[Dave]

Dear lord (velocity :D) please close this topic and post the voting thread before anyone else posts anything!

:bashhead:

[JohnMark]

Yeah. I finally understand that. And Dave, I posted. :crazy:

Wow, no wonder all of you like the |bashhead| smilie. Still, let's keep the topic on the contest now.

[lone_gunman16]

:bashhead: :bashhead:

I was fooled too!

When is the submission part of the contest over?

[Sultan]

Tommorow is the deadline.Midnight.

[lone_gunman16]

Tommorow is the deadline.Midnight.

Oh come on, be realistic, it'll happen Sunday night! :D :^: :hide:

[Velocity]

[Sultan]

I BETTER see the time of that poll exactly 12:01 am.

[JohnMark]

I BETTER see the time of that poll exactly 12:01 am.
:P :laughs when Velocity doesn't put his picture and the poll thread:

lol. You've probably be asleep by that time, unless your time zone is different in Columbia. I bet that this poll result will end in a very unorderly manner.

[Sultan]

Yes you're right in both cases
I mean I ain't gonna stay awake until 12 just for this. Either way we know Velocity is a very "responsible" guy.

[Velocity]

Ha ha, yeah... also, my picture's up there. ^ And sixteen more are in the Photo Album.

[Sultan]

If Dave would've chosen Seattle Circuit I would've had the most awesomery pic in the world

Cool pic Velocity.

[JohnMark]

Is 'awesomery' a word?

What you said about Velocity's pic, Sultan, is what I would have said also. Ironically, the pic you sent in, Velocity, was the last one I saw before putting my previous post.

It's 8 AM PST. Now this could a few hours of 'forgetfulness.' Only if Powerslave were to be here...

[Sultan]

1 pm here. Awesomery, idk i just heard it somewhere.

Hey everyone, vote for Sultan! (You better or you'll be cyberstalked.)

[JohnMark]

Hey everyone, vote for Sultan! (You better not or you'll be cyberstalked.)
Sure you'll cyberstalk us. What's worse is being perforated.
Anyways, I think Velocity needs a wake-up call. DING-DONG! :wave:
The previous 8 posts were combined of Sultan, Velocity, and I posting. So my post was true. I laughed at velocity when he didn't post the voting thread.

[Velocity]

First post of the thread: July 21, 2007, 11:16 PM (that's last Saturday)

+1 week

Entry thread closed: July 28, 2007, 11:59 PM (or July 29, 2007, 12:00 AM)

Voting thread still has over 8 hours until it can be made. ;)

[JohnMark]

Oh. Sorry. My mind is still hooked up to other things. The entry period should be a bit less so we can start the poll thread earlier, but I know some people like to enter their pics the last day of the submission.

[Sultan]

Either way Velocity, we all know there will be no other entries, unless someone reads this and decides to prove me wrong.
