Hmm full car load. Reading some of the last few posts may want to be more specific, don't want to upset someone, as we all know the best and most precise photo wins naming rights of the moon.

Keep it fun, thats why we all keep following IMO

you asked for a car at a harbour, which i posted, but it didn't meet your stringent guidelines.

If you scroll back through the dozens of pages you'll find that a lot of the pictures are 'almost' what was asked. The reason for this is the game can stall quite badly when someone posts a challenge for which no one has a pic. So in the interest of keeping the game moving we sometimes let '99%' pics past. Personally i believe mine met the criteria, but there you have it. No big deal, so no need to be uptight about it.
