I'm also with Footman as i had the problem that most required you to be eitehr over 21 or 25 but with footman James it didn't matter - staff seem really helpful aswell.
The only thing they required was that you were a member of a club and i said this site and she said thats fine....

Heres my effort i've just been driving round looking for a boat on a driveway and found one, then i had to take a picture without looking suspicious so decided the camera phone would be the weapon of choice....

Well i guessed that but i've never seen you post your name at the end of a post.....whats your name then?
goaferboy - I bet your neighbours wondered what the hell you were upto!! 10 out of 10 for effort.
So some of you think Darrren's should not count, its definatley a boat but like you say it wasn't exactly taken this week.... i don't know really but this could happen again when we choose other challenges, i think its just good luck if you have a picture to match already but should you be allowed to use it? and you can't exactly prove when it was taken...... then again if we started choosing more difficult request its less likely to happen.
I'll leave it upto to Darren as to whether he wants to pass the prize of choosing the next challenge over to goaferboy for his quality effort!

well i've left it quite open as long there is 'a boat' in the picture that will do me.....
And i think maybe the first person to post a qualifying picture gets to pick the next challenge?

Following on from this thread, retrorides.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1122232728&page=1This weeks challenge as suggested in above thread is..... [glow=red,2,300] Post a picture of your Retro Ride with a boat.......[/glow] If you wish to accept this challenge you have 1 week to do it until a new request will be posted (Note- if your Retro Ride if currently off-road your daily ride will be accepted.......)Any chance this could be made a sticky so we can see how things go - this could be a right flop if no-one can be bothered lol, we also need some suiggestions for the next challenge......

Was just thinking about a weekly challenge thread we could have..... What if each week we set a challenge of you taking a photo of your retro ride but a chosen 'object' must also be in the picture. For example the first challenge may be to take a photo of your retro ride and it must have church in the background, or even something thing like a dodgy chav'd up car next to it ;D could be anything really whatever is decided upon...... But it all depends on how many people have digi cameras and who could be arsed to do it Just thought it could be laugh and a good excuse to go out for a blast in the car ;D What do you reckon?

The worst thing about my MGB is the location of the battery being located under the rear seat which means accessing it involves removal of the rear seat base and then the horrible metal battery tray cover thats a nightmare to remove - anyone with an mg will know what i mean... The best thing about it is the fact that it makes me ;D everytime i use it and its nice to think its British built.... Whats the Worst and Best thing about your Retro Ride?

The reason it seems expensive as my last mot in May was only £30 but he claims its gone upto because of the system they have to input the data into, do you reckon they are just using it as an excuse?
