Default Winter-themed photo contest

Well seeing the Christmas themed photo below by another member, got me thinking. The photography of these beautiful cars are dismal. I rarely see any high quality pictures of the X-type on here.

So I propose a photo contest. Take the best pictures of your X-type in a winter theme and post it up on here.

Rules: Only X-types. High-quality pictures only. No camera phone or the alike pictures.
Extended: Buck brings up a good point. For those of you that don't have much of a winter climate, do not let this inhibit you. It'd be nice to somehow incorporate the season in your picture. Just be creative!

EXTENDED DEADLINE: January 31st, 2008!!!

Voting will be done by the forum members, themselves.

Winner: I'm willing to chip in a $20 Gift card for Dale & Thomas's popcorn to the winner. If anybody else has anything they'd like to chip in, it's welcomed, as it'll probably gauge more interest.

Heh, well I guess it does kind of exclude those who don't have much of a winter climate. Try to incorporate something if you can i.e. Maybe some nice background of xmas lights or something of that sort. I dunno, be creative. Obviously, we can be flexible. I'm just trying to get the community together to snap some great pics of this beautiful platform, and maybe while doing so, make our fellow Jaguar owners jealous!!

Edit: Mods, anyway we can get this stickied at the top? It'll draw in more attention.

Not Christmas oriented but I have plenty of high res pictures its just hard to post them on here so every person doesn't have to scroll to the right...If anyone would like send full high resolution pictures to my email at haro_bikes1@yahoo.com. Make sure you screen name is on there and I'll post all the pics on my web album so everyone can look at everyone's pictures. I will make a picture only thread but no comments...sound good?

Is that better ancient? Should be to the top

Thanks aquill for keeping it at the top. Is that Kennsington Park? Man, I love those wheels. What are they? Yeah, the website sounds good.

Well, we got a decent amount of snow here in SE MI. Anyways, wanted to see how the Jaguar faired in a good amount of snow, and I got to say the thing is brilliant. This car is by far the best thing I have ever driven in snow. I was absolutely thrilled. I passed a 3-series, an ES300 and an XJ8 on the way to my grocery store.

It was all good and fun till I came back home and tried putting my dd Contour at the bottom of the driveway. Needless to say, I was stuck for a good 30 minutes.

Anywho, I snapped some pics. Enjoy!

HA HA HA HA HA! Thought the contour was better with those snow tires? You turn off the dsc and see how she runs without the computer telling her what to do? Utter fun is what I say! I'll have to get some pics! I tried to pull out of my drive and couldn't! I hate to put it in reverse turn off the dsc and purge forward...needless to say the front end pushes the snow like a snow plow! Hilarious! Glad you finally recognized the awd!

What ever happened to the bikini girl? Now here's a challenge...for those of us who have too many bikini girls and not enough snow....let's see a bikini girl, on a Jag, in the snow.

Lol! Whoever posts a hot girl in a bikini on/in their jag( bonus points if she's nekkid!), wins this contest! However, she better be hot, and no butta faces.

Lol, only in a car forum will a photo contest go from Christmas themed to bikini/scantily clad girls on your car contest.
