I think everyone who did post their picture did a good job. Peter3hg2 thank you for climbing that Tetrahedron. Mautzel thank you for not falling off while reading in Göddabo. And Micra good job bringing in another hobby and friend. I think that more people are shy but would be more likely to show their car. Just a thought for the magazine if you had some Top Gear bumper stickers, could be semi gorilla marketing

My thanks again to everyone that entered - gave us all some fun in the office!

My dad finally got the lappy fixed, so here's a picture of me in front of Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, with Top Gear. Damn, I forgot which month's issue that was!

It's too late, I'm afraid but a really nice pic nonetheless.

Might be good to keep it an open and long running thing: interesting shots with the magazine, that can later be categorized. Even with this long contest time the shy won out.

OK, why not.

I'll give another goodie bag at Xmas time so let's see what everyone can come up with between now and then.

Is the Xmas contest still a go? I will have my picture as soon as I figure out how to do the upload thing if it is.

Took me forever to find a magazine. I had everyone I know out looking. I really enjoyed it though and when we are able to get the extras that come with the mag in the USA, I will be subscribing.

For all those who've been asking, yes this competition is still running. I'm going to set a closing date for the Xmas competition of : December 14th (the last day before I go on my Xmas holidays).

So, get your entries in quickly. This time extra credit will be given to photos featuring TG merchandise.
