How about catergories for say, best tdi, best petrol, best mk4, mk5 etc. i mean i know my car isn't going to be anywhere near some of the cars that will get recognition on this award but i think it's a little unfair that it seems those who spend the most on their car will be the ones to get the free stuff. some of us can't afford air ride and bbs wheels or fancy hose kits so sub catergories may open it out a little bit. after all if you have spend £6000 on modding your car i think a set of hoses would be pocket change. i understand it would be asking more from the sponsers but i think the publicity would be good for all, also understand not everyone who will get up there on the competition has spend £thousands.

anyway best of luck to everyone - my vote's already set. []

Do we have to nominate cars or are the forum mods going to draw up a short list and everyone votes?

 

[damianmkv]

it's not about who's spent the most, or has the most pages - it's about which car members think is their favourite. Perhaps because of stance, or wheels, or power, or innovation, or the whole package

There won't be sub-categories, no

It will be completely open voting until end October. Then, the cars with the 10 highest votes will be put into a poll for voting to start again until End November

Whilst there is obviously the biggest prize to go to the winner, it's our intention to give a prize to 2nd and 3rd place as well [Y]

 

[tsl_wales]

Is it currently owned cars or could cars that have been sold in the same year still be nominated?

Each to their own but the forum sponsors have donated prizes out of their own pocket. They aren't compelled to do so. If you really believe that ?200 of hoses is "pocket change" then you're missing the point

FYI, the last time this competition was run, the prize was ?50 cash - now it's in excess of ?400

I don't get some people's attitudes - I've reintroduced the competition as I thought the forum would benefit, members would welcome it but some are never happy..

It's car of the year,simple as that,now get over it.

 

[damianmkv]

Could've been sold this year, Tom but the member must have owned it in 2011. Eg, if people wanted to vote for Adam's ( Patch ) car, then thats great, even though he's sold it this week.
