So if HandlingByJebus has completed the current challenge, we now do his challenge, yes, not spend the next week doing power station pics first? I was a little unclear from the CA thread, it was implied they had used both rules at one point or another?

Aww man, there's nothing close to me other than bus manufacturers.

Those count, right?
I'd say any road vehicle is probably allowed, seeing as that's the rule we're running for what you can have as yours in the photo?

I also suspect Adiabatic will enforce the rules on a basis of "smartarse or rules-lawyering answers may get a pass if they are particularly awesome or very funny indeed."

The major fruit tree crop in sc is peaches. We produce more annually than "The peach state" Georgia, and it's pretty much the only commercially viable fruit tree that's happy with our climate.

Welcome to the palmetto state.
Nah, peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.

Can we stipulate that the person taking the photo can only be associated with one of the vehicles? You shouldn't be able to hard park on your own hard-parked vehicle. I think that's a rule in the bible.
Yes, while I took advantage of owning multiple cars earlier in the thread, I think this is a sensible rule. Only one vehicle in such multi-vehicle challenges can be yours, unless specifically part of the challenge.

Have a rental Mustang right now but no clue how to burn out, or even if you can in an automatic, and also been drinking since vacation started so it's probably not a good idea anyway....
In a rental Mustang, it'll be a little anaemic, but it'll do it with a certain amount of brusqueness in how you treat it.

It's commonly believed the blue and white of the BMW logo represents a spinning propeller due to the companies history building airplane engines. The colors actually represent the colors of the Bavarian flag.
In fairness, they didn't help matters by using that very image (the roundel merged with a spinning prop) in one of their own adverts in the 20s.

Yeah, I'm responsible for the current constipation of entries, so I'm offering the hot vindaloo of open interpretation to get us all moving again.

I'd say factory location of final assembly, not counting any remedial work due to import modifications locally. The more local you can make the one item, and the more geographically opposed you can make the other, the better.

So if you have a Wrangler, the Ohio state flag and a stuffed toy koala wearing a Perth t-shirt is a good combination.
