Well done on that advertisement shot.

You seem to have left the definition of 'boat' fairly open. So here is my flippant response:



If that is acceptable and doesn't get me probated..

:siren: Post a picture of your car next to a historical landmark/monument marker - share what the marker is and the text :siren:

Hope that's enough different than the similar one earlier, I'm not terribly creative.

Dammit, I ruled out boats on a trailer to make it harder, but didn't consider model boats! I was thinking about adding a boat size requirement or insisting that the boat must be floating but didn't, so I guess you are technically within the rules ;)

This was as close as I dared come to the dropoff into the Chicago River. It's a solid 4-6' down to the water from there.

Good thoughts -- I've started planning a trip to Cliffs Insane Terrain next month.

More driving for the driving game!

:siren: Post a picture of your vehicle with 1000 feet (330m) elevation change from your home / the place where it usually lives! :siren:

Post a picture and whatever proof you deem appropriate.

I'll allow 100' (33m) by this time Friday if you genuinely live in a Very Flat Place like Kansas or Florida.

You lot must have ADD or something thinking two days is too long to have a challenge go unanswered, not that you need to worry for this one.

Starting from Bathurst, NSW, Australia. According to wikipedia the average elevation of the town is 650m however my gps was showing 690m. Lets call it 700m to be safe.


The exif data on this photo should be intact, for reference it was taken at -33.2747806,149.7874639 with a GPS calculated height of 1197m for a difference of ~500m. It's not the highest point around but I like coming up here cause of the great view. The firetrail on the way in/out is great fun as well as long as you don't overcook it and cop a rock to the tit.


I would've come up here for the previous challenge as well but it's not really a cliff, just a fairly steep hill at this point.

Yeah, it's amazing. Turns out, leaving dead weight behind lets you achieve things, like get a place with a garage. Bus is still too tall to really get off the ground inside (engine pulls will still be a pain) but otherwise it is awesome.

It also comes with repair ghosts.

I bet if you let the air out of the tires a bit you can still get the engine out or take the wheels off.

Engine comes out the bottom, unfortunately. Need a lot of lifting space.

Probably not, since the 4th tire is sitting on the ground too. I should've put it on my chair. Also jacks don't count. Enjoy my photo of that time the axle shaft u-joint clip came off.

Two questions: How much of the car should be reflected, and is majestic a rule or more of a suggestion?

Because this is the best I could do with daylight running out. If it breaks the rules, I'd be happy to accept my first ever SA probate.



If this is acceptable, I'd like to see
