Lets have a dedicated 'dab of oppo' photo thread. Photos must be of you or someone you know hilariously, riduculously, massively sideways.

Here's a starter for ten:








Now you! biggrin

Nice one boys. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. I especially like the way that old Nissan is so crossed up, it looks like it might tie its front suspension in knots!

S3: 6/10. I like the concept but I fear you're not nearly crossed up enough.

Batty: 8.5/10. I love that first pic.

Keep 'em coming. Remember, oppo only please.

P.S. Did I mention I'll be judging your efforts for an 'Oppo of the Month' competition winner? Well I am, so get to it!

May the oppo be with you.

I think GP is getting at the angle of oppo applied rather than the angle of the car. I think.

Kitch: yes, but the setting is all wrong. I appreciate old man Balboni is just about on the cusp of dislocating his elbows, but there's no frame of reference in your pic.

6/10

I will however allow you a special bonus point for your anti-4WD political persuasion wink

7/10

Do the pics have to be from Forza or can I dig out some GT4 pics?

As soon as I get gold membership I will upload some FM3 pics, but these old GT4 ones will have to do for now.

I can't see PB at work, so Wildcards will have to wait until I get home. However, the 'Dab of Oppo' rule book quite clearly states that all oppo must be recoverable:

Section 12.1 (c) In addition to clause (a) and (b), any and all drifts must culminate in the eventual return to a zero (0) degree yaw angle, or where the car is put into a transitional slide, the yaw angle must not exceed 100 degrees or an angle deemed by the panel judge to have exceeded the laws of physics. A drift shall not be deemed to have existed unless the driver can return the car to an eventual steady state.

Subsequently, the onset of a crash is not a drift smile

Yet more shameless self promotion, a rather feeble drift but I hope you like the decal I made!!

Composition for the RUF is all wrong (like the flames though). However the 'Stang looks like it's being suitably hung.

7.5/10
