The Moss Motoring Challenge is an epic annual scavenger hunt.  

It's easy to participate: just travel to qualifying places, and then take snapshots to prove you were there with any British car (or even a Mazda Miata) and with a Moss' poster. By New Years, gather up your photos and send them with an entry form to Moss motors.

Download and print your copy of the poster and rules, <a href="http://www.mossmotors.com/sitegraphics/MotoringChallenge/home.html">here</a>, (or ask Moss to mail them.)

The fun part is the journey - share your fun by posting favorite Challenge pics here!

To get this thread rolling, here are snapshots I took this past Saturday after flying back to Colorado to get my MG:

Destination: "Artistic Graffiti"

(You may score one-point-each for up to 35 Moss' prescribed "destinations".)

(You may score one-point-each for up to 26 towns/cities. Each one has to start with a different letter of the alphabet.)

Boulder County, Colorado

(This year, you May score one-point-each for ANY fifteen different counties you visit. Easy, right?)

State: Colorado

Are you thinking about driving to Indianapolis for BritishV8 2015?
You could collect a whole bunch of points along your way.
And it's healthy to stop and stretch your legs from time to time.
Why not include the Challenge in your plans?

As a loooong time Peyton Manning fan, that first pic is awesome!

QuoteAre you thinking about driving to Indianapolis for BritishV8 2015?

One 5 minute stop for gas. No time for pics.  I'll walk around the pumps to stretch out.  

Curtis, I'm guessing that these photos were taken on your way back to Portland.  Hope you had a geat trip!  Here's my entries in the Artistic Grafitti and Cities/Towns categories, taken while driving the Bay of Fundy coast in search of some great seafood.  We were sucessful.
Phil

Those are terrific photos, Phil. Keep them coming!

Pics don't have to take more than a couple minutes, Carl. Camera phone selfies will even work in a pinch.

Here are snapshots from day two (Sunday) of my trip to Oregon:

State: Utah


State Capitol Buildings: Utah


Lakes and Rivers: Great Salt Lake

(One-point-each for up to twelve lakes and/or rivers. Identifying sign must be included.)

Sneak Peek Bonus Photo

(Moss awards "sneak peek" bonus points for photos submitted at during the course of the competition. Sneak peek photos don't have to specifically match items in the Point Guidelines. I submitted this Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway snapshot and also the Artistic Graffiti pic above to claim two bonus points.)  
 
State: Nevada

Here are Challenge photos from day three of my trip.

State Capitol Building: Idaho


(I crossed into Oregon, and then doubled back for a minute to get three quick snapshots.)

State: Oregon


State: Idaho


Lakes and Rivers: Snake River

(those little MG-bee mascots on my windshield have stuck there a whole year!)



Okay folks, let's see your pics!

Aw... I wanna MG Bee...

My family will take the credit for plastering those 4 bbbbeees on your windshield.  We didn't know how well they stick.

I've been posting mine on the Moss challenge FB page, about a dozen states and 4 provinces on my June trip. here are a few.  My wife asked me if I was trying to win $50 from Moss again this year, I explained that it's not the $50 dollar prize i want that ten thousand buck tee shirt  This is my third year doing this, I must be crazy.  BTW I'll be in Portland, OR in a few weeks.

a few more

Awesome photos, PJ!

I've sent you a PM. - Lisa and I hope we'll get to see you when you come to our new town.




Car Show: Car Corral at the Portland Historics

(with our friends Kirsten and Ryan!)

You can score one point each for up to ten car shows. Each photo must include at least six cars on public display.

Curtis PM sent
I did another car show yesterday

We grabbed another car show pic after work tonight.

The "Beaches Cruise-In" drew about 1400 special interest cars and motorcycles:

That's our dear friend Sherise, posing Vanna White style with Lisa.

Here's another local car show pic:


This was Dan "The Fit Man" Hoering's 6th annual "My British Cruise In". My photo doesn't do it justice - it was a small show but the diversity of cars was great! If this photo were an x-ray, you'd note a perfect E-type coupe behind the Healey. Two Triumph saloons were parked beside it: a Courier and from memory I think a "2000". Over there on the right, that's a Tiger, a Mini Moke, and a B-GT. Across the aisle from my car was a whole 'nother row, including a TD and perfect classic Mini.

Let's see some of YOUR latest Moss Challenge pics!

here's one the state capital building in WVA

I also like the WVA official state flower  ( a dish)  

Not a lot of miles driven this year............lots of family things and other trips, including British v8 in Indy, have taken precedence.
Went to a small country fair on Saturday with a few friends (12 cars in all).  Good day but VERY hot and humid.

The 1968 Morgan next to me is a one owner car and quite rare, a Morgan Plus 4 Super Sport

Some unusual machinery at the fair.  I didn't get any photos of the sheep shearing demo or the horse pull.
