This contest will start 10AM CT October 15, 2010 . The keys will not be placed in the posts until that date. This thread will open for posts on that date. If you currently do not meet the requirements for the contest you have until October 15 to meet them so get to posting! This will be one of many contests to come so get ready to meet the requirements for future contests! The following image is embedded in 4 posts on the forum. The goal is simple, find the key in the threads it is hidden in on the forum. Some suggestions: Search wont help. Nor will Google search as the image wont be indexed. This will take good old clicking through M/A content. So while looking for the key try to enjoy yourself and discover some old content that you may have never read or overlooked. There will be one winner per key and only one prize per member. Once one key has been found it will be removed from the post and then there will be only 3 keys left. This will continue until all keys have been found. Only three requirements for the winner: 1) Be registered on Motoring Alliance 2) Must have more than 10 posts. So if you haven't met this requirement, post while you search! 3) You can not be an Admin, Moderator or Sponsor. Sorry guys! If someone finds the key and posts it and does not meet the first two requirements above the key will be added to a new post and will be fair game for finding. The winners will receive the following: 1) One year premium membership. If you are already a supporter the year will be added to your current premium account. 2) [ame="http://www.amazon.com/New-Mini-Performance-Handbook-How/dp/193470914X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1286904206&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: The New Mini Performance Handbook (Performance How-To) (9781934709146): Jeffrey Zurschmeide: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gjlzhnubL.@@AMEPARAM@@51gjlzhnubL[/ame] Bonus: The first person to find a key will also receive an I Love MINI Mug.

The keys have all been placed and the contest is now live. When you find a key please PM me with the URL where you found it please. Happy hunting and good luck!!
How the keys were placed... Using the total number of posts as of about 9:30 AM CT today as the upper limit in a random number generator I generated 4 numbers. Checked the locations make sure they were in areas accessible by all and then placed the keys. As a hint, the floor is somewhere north of post # 1000. None of the keys are in Off Topic or Sponsor areas.
I already spend way too much time here, what are you trying to do to me Nathan, I have a business to run.:incazzato:
This is worse than the loyalty club programs. If you only knew that spending $100 on whatever, got you all of $.03 worth of points you'd think twice. Still hunting for the key myself. My time is worth nothing :lol:
And a second key has been found... Congrats to Metalman There are still 2 more keys out there....and it is obvious they can be found.
