    Well if you had won the previous challenge, you could of set the landrover challenge and you could not have "caved". But you didnt so nurrr. Maybe he was trying to speed up the process? anyway no point crying over spilt milk, I think we should just blow the whistle on this one and move on

  • Apologies for taking the 'challenge' as exactly that a challenge.

    Will I win :roll: the current challenge if I post a photo of my bike and some rugby goal posts, or maybe a basketball hoop?

    (hopefully you can tell I'm not entirely serious, but surely the only point of this is to kind of take the challenge seriously? :-)

    Yes you would

    If I (the challenge setter, who has say over his challenge) had said it can be rugby posts or a basketball hoop??

    But i didnt.

    Good, so you have principals and will require a photo of a bike being a goalkeeper and nothing less will do!

    I think you may have missed my point there lol If i had later said that rugby posts and basketball hoops count (an alteration to the challenge like the "any landrover apart from a disco" alteration) then i would not be accepting any lesser because that would be the challenge! the challenger setter had in effect updated the challenge with the alteration that it could be any landrover apart from the disco. i feel like a parrot. its not like i asked him to change the challenge i simply followed it. sheesh i don't know what your goal is here but this is tedious and pointless so lets just call it a day and wait for someone to get the photo so we can get on with our lives lol

    did you see that one natrix? hidden in a essay of waffle
  • I've also given up as the point I was making has been missed, and the fact that my original post was not aimed at you, but at the person setting the landrover defender challenge, but you waded in.

    My last post also did not require yet another reply from you. The challenge has been set, let's see who can post the pic.

    I completely forgot about the freelander so had to go with it.

    Oh well, pity. The Defender is the original and best, a true off-roader.

    Hopefully someone will 'score' with this latest challenge soon.

    I know nothing about land rovers, but... wasn't the Willis Jeep the "original"?

    I should have been more specific, as the challenge was about Land Rovers I didn't think I had to say it, but what I meant was, IMHO the Defender is the best Land Rover.

    I always thought it was Willis, but they did one on Wheeler Dealers and it is Willys.

    Yes that was the original, for the yanks but for us Brits it is the Landy.

    This. A lot of waffle is going on with no photos being taken.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

  • You've got to actually get off your asre and go complete a challenge first.

    I know its obviously too late, but this is the land rover i was going out to get the photo with to begin with, and due to its absence led to me taking the photo with the freelander

    Photo Challenge a New Beginning.

    Rules below, taken from original thread.

    Basicaly it's a game that involves photographing your bike next to an object stated by the previous winner.

    One person requests a picture of something; landmark, road, building, object, anything. The first person to post up a picture of that subject wins.

    But it can't just be any old picture - it must have YOUR bike in the picture, somewhere. So for example, if I was to say "lighthouse", the winner would be the first person to post a picture of a lighthouse with their bike somewhere in the picture, e.g. standing in front of the lighthouse.

    That winning person then suggests another subject for the photo, and it continues, ad infinitum.

    Rules:
    > No photoshops! Genuine pictures only!
    > The current "winner" can't submit a picture to a subject they have imposed.
    > If two pictures are posted at the same time, OR a dispute arises, the person who suggested the subject decides who wins.
    > Try and keep it on-topic... no deviating from the challenge etc.
    > If the poster of the winning picture does not suggest a new subject within 3 days of winning, the previous winner must select a new subject.
    > Fresh photos only!! No digging through your archives, get off your butts and get outside snapping.
    >NEW RULE – Challenges are valid for 1 week, if not done in time the previous winner will select another challenge.


    We must also understand that sometimes challenges may get duplicated, especially from the last thread. I reckon as long as fresh pics are taken and the challenge wasn’t done a week ago we should let them stand.

    1st challenge – with a big Engine.
    GO!!!

    Are challenges a week or a month? i thought it was a month but this looks like a week? new challenge?

    Who's doing what now? I'm confused. What's the challenge?
  • Challenge: your bike - muddy, on singletrack, impressive scenery.


    GO!

    So has my challenge been abandoned and im not setting another? TBH just wanna get the ball rolling so not fussed...but seeing as this whole thing about the freelander not beeing valid came about by not following the rules to a tee, seems a bit odd
