ta chaps :)   gonna stick with the bikers, it was the hardest and most comical of the three, I drove past them on the atlantic coast road and screeched to a halt to turn around, must have scared the beejazus out of them lol, then drove back past them scouting for a good spot to get a pic, then worked out the angle and found a bend, then back and fro to get the line of the road the way I wanted, then when they came past it must have looked like I didnt want to face them, I bet they cracked up at the nutter taking pics of them in the mirror  :beer:  :legit:

Hmm, did I post mine right?  Looks like it might break the site on smaller monitors.....

Is there a recommended way to do this?

You need to post your pictures to your own galley on the site then they can be found and included in the polls at the end of each week......... :legit:
