And with a dab of oppo...

[Great Pretender]

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!

[Great Pretender]

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.

Have you seen the difference in angle between my car and the other 'normal' cars in second pic lol.

However, as you are judge and jury. i sir shall try again! watch this space.

OK ok...

6.8/10

Better?

A couple of shots of my Lamborghini 550-2

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

7/10


Next...

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

Oooh, a curve ball!

Ummm...

Gah, go on then.

There's no way you saved that one?

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

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

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

7.5/10

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

Squirrel, your oppo is shameful. However I will allow one bonus point for the decal.

3/10 - must try harder.

ConcreteBuffalo said:

I'll chuck a couple of mine up then....

CB, I'm afraid I must refer your 2nd picture to the Oppo review comittee for assessment. It seems they deemed your oppo to be 'unrecoverable'.

Altrezia said:

Great idea. I'm at work so here are a couple of my previous shots, but I'll spend a few minutes playing later and post some more then.

This

Now some of may argue that Altrezia had an unfair advantage given that his daily steed used to be a 400bhp RWD supersaloon; but rather than complain, you can all learn from this man.

Look at the composition of the Exige photo and note how apparent the drift is in comparison with some of the more 'static' looking entries.

Well done that man

8.5/10

[Great Pretender]

S3_Graham said:

Right... some revised entries...

You wouldn't be trying to butter me up would you Graham...?

7.8/10 - I like the fact that you are actually on the lockstops.

Airborne drifty op-locking

Is D1 missing a trick here?

I'll offer you a bonus point for originality:

old shed + too much bhp =]

Oh Batty, you're good at this

8/10

ScottishSamurai said:

Didn't spin or hit the barrier

Nice. No impression of speed though.

6.5/10

akamal said:

How about this?

Hmmm,

Love the car, but it appears to be in the midst of a parking manouver. I need to see more of an impression of speed,

4.5/10

Sorry.

The best one I have at the moment, currently working away from home so won't be able to produce anything better for a couple of days

Better.

5.5/10

TheEnd said:

Just done a few more gt4 ones

Not a bad effort there.

5.9/10

[Great Pretender]

Right,

More Trueno action:

[Great Pretender]

I feel sorry for this wee thing. I can't imagine Nissan ever envisaged it would ever be fitted with the RB26TT lump out of its Skyline...
