The driving game - picture scavenger hunt

ng3 · Jan 22, 2013

The one I saw must have been a real one, not just a badge switch. Found one similar on Kijiji but I wouldn't be surprised if it was sold in this form in Canada only and not the US.

And it has a 2.4 non-turbo diesel.

I think they were badged as "EuroVan" even in Canadian spec (but, the 2.4D was sold in Canadian spec), so that's a European-market import.

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

I think the passenger ones with windows were called EuroVans, I see those more than the work ones.

Anyway, back to the current challenge, went by but since it's so cold none of them were outside. I'll do another pass around lunch.

Here is one of the three my little town has. This one is our four wheel drive one for the rednecks that get hurt off the beaten path.

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

Cool, no need to go out

Maine, NY, whoever named this town was creative. Sadly there's no New York in Maine.
I'm afraid to ask what's next, your previous challenges were not easy...

NewLyme · Jan 23, 2013

I would at least like some bonus points for flashing lights!

Next Challenge

I would like to know what the next challenge is, I just got back from a week of playing DC Police Officer (I was sworn in and given a badge!) for the Inauguration and now have my TDI again

Since we're waiting for the new challenge (and thinking about a hijack) does anyone pay attention to the line below the quick reply box to see who's lurking the thread.

I didn't know about that

I guess you learn something new now and then. Thanks

shrifty · Jan 23, 2013

Yeah, I look to see who is on all the time. Gives me an idea who my competition might be when completing challenges

^^ +1. Sometimes I'm spyin' on all ya'll as a guest!

Well, I gave it 10 minutes, so: Hijack!!! Next challenge #550: Your TDI with a roadsign showing a distance to any city over 328 miles or kilometers

krauseengineer · Jan 23, 2013

Well... That sucks. I took my wife and daughter to lunch and I totally forgot about the challenge, what an air head I am today. Oh well. Does this mean I can't do this challenge because I would have been mine? Not that I know where to find a sign like that. 320 mes is a long distance to put on a sign around here. 320 km is only 200 miles, which would probably be a little easier.

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

Sorry

You can still do this challenge, only the one who posted the challenge can't compete. Not just to clarify, sign has to say 328 or more, doesn't matter if it's miles or kilometers.

shrifty · Jan 23, 2013

If someone posts a challenge for your tdi stuck in traffic for a very long time, I think I have the win...

No, this means you can't do this challenge.

Dozenspeed · Jan 23, 2013

Next Challenge: (#551) Your TDI parked on a street with only the left rear wheel up on the curb like you are daft

Careful not to scratch your rims!

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

Like so?I'm in too much of a hurry to edit my license plate.

Dozenspeed · Jan 23, 2013

^^^^ Perfect!

Next?

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

Hmm...

That's funny. I do the same thing!!!

shrifty · Jan 23, 2013

Hmm.. my parents only have a 4 port switch, guess I'm going to try when I get home.

Well I guess I'm not GEEKY enough for this.

ng3 · Jan 23, 2013

I don't have one at home either but could get one of the 3 96 port junipers I have to help install next week.

Here's something I found online.

I like your license plate Dozenspeed.

Thanks! It's my first "vanity" plate. Funny they call it that (and charge a vanity plate fee) since they make you get one AND you cannot choose what it says!

Cool, clean design though.

I saw the phone number on the back and couldn't help thinking that if I was in the running for the lead I'd think about using it for un-sportsmanlike purposes.

The company is so nice: "You can order a cab online at countycab.com or text your pick up address to 314.971.8294. No need to talk!!"
Just ask for the TDI Jetta, there's bound to be just one

I knew there was a reason I don't usually show the back of the car...

Seriously though, they ARE the top company for hundreds of miles around, I cannot fathom changing the paint colour for anything.

However in practical terms one can annoy only so much with our ordering system, we have SupercallerID! (You cannot ask them for a specific cab either, as complained about to me many times by customers)

Sent via my LG Thing a ma whatever 2000 cause I'm out trying to make a buck therefore cannot post current challenge with this post as it is an irritating interface
