    This worked pretty well last year ,so we thought we'd give it a bash again

    We've decided on these lovely categories to keep it simple and get it in now, nice and early as we kind of rushed it last time.


    Poster of the year

    Boardsie's car of the year

    Fanboi of the year

    Bangernomics King

    Thread of the year

    Photo of the year


    One nomination per category per poster.You don't have to nominate in every category, but do try, as it would be brilliant if you could, as if we could get at least 5 nominees for each award, that would be pretty ideal and no, you can't nominate yourself. :p

    When we've got our nominees in around 2 weeks, we'll lock this thread and then everyone can have their vote on a seperate thread(s).If there are no clear nominees the winner will be selected by the Motor Mods.

    Don't bother posting if you're gonna be nasty.It'll be deleted and the same rules will apply regarding infractons/bans.

    There will also be a special award decided by the mods if something worthy pops up between now and the end of the year considering we're still in November. :)

    Enjoy

    The other less handsome MM who's nick I can't spell for clean freak of the year boobie prize!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,793 ✭✭✭coolisin


    Fanboy has to be 166man

    Bangernomics king has to go to Colm-mcm for the Jaaaaagggg honourable mention goes to DGT as he's seems to have a knack of keeping that thread going.

    Thread of the year: need to look it up, it was a funny spin off one though!
    Unless 535d Mitsubishi evo one falls into this years!!!

    Car owner : this is a tricky one matts sims 850 looks savage, the trans am surely gets a mention, and a pink GTI should also be pointed out!!
    If MM still had the mps I would vote purely as his car was crazy and OCD clean!

    Poster of the year: matt sims, roverjames or dgt as usually they post informative posts.

    Picture of the year is the pink muffin from the midway meet

    Anyone got a link to the Donegal artic thread?
    Speaking of Donegal there's that thread about the guy who drove off and pulled the petrol pump out of the ground.

    Didn't realise my judgement was clouded tbh.... I have one, my Mum has one, my dad has one, my aunt has one and another family member has one too. While I can freely admit I'm not mechanically minded, I can still distinguish between Alpha and Alfa... :D:pac:

    When I drove my 156 for the first time, I knew there was no other car I wanted or could have had. I'm exactly the same now. :)

    Am not in here an awful lot really but would think Nissan Doctor for Poster of the Year. Plenty of advice and his pictures and guides are excellent. Some great threads by the man.

    There really should be a sticky in this forum with links to various top/recommended threads (such as Nissan Doctors engine rebuild etc.)

    For photo/car of the year, maybe we should start a thread for people to actually post one photo and sentence for their car (and something they had for like 3mths +)? I mean, there maybe loads of awesome cars or photo we didnt see or were not put online?

    If we had our $hit together someone would rig up a voting system too.. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,575 ✭✭✭166man


    That supercharged BMW thread was epic in the same sense as the bmw535d thread.

    It's very difficult to pick a poster of the year though, there are many and also trying to pick a car of the year is also trés difficile...
