Following on from the nominations thread
here we can now have a vote for the cars to be on the stand. We have space for 5 cars, but you don't have to pick all 5 if you only have one favourite!

Choosing is harder than you think! Mk 1 or Mr 2, Diesel or Petrol, hatch or estate, trim levels... Eeek!

If i'm honest, i used one of my votes to
persuade Mr Kitch to finish the GT
Personally i'd have liked to see a van/enterprise in there, shame there are so few

Oooh, this is horrible! In the interests of fairness, I believe Modstox has modified his TGD slightly from the picture?
I feel really bad for the people I didn't vote for. Especially difficult with several of the same model to vote for. But this is reality, you can't all be winners. It's not some bloody telly show! :p

You're right, and I've edited with a more recent pic from his blog - thanks for pointing that out.

If we put on a fantastic show this year, then hopefully there'll be chances for others 2014 and beyond

And don't forget, there are other shows (like Bristol) which these car could be lined up for if the owners wish!
I agree it would be nice to have a commercial variant (or an ambulance for that matter), but there's not exactly much choice when it comes to those!

I actually found it easier than I thought I would
perhaps not having a bx at the moment made me more objective , perhaps it was the crisp tenners forced into my hand , who knows

'At least it's better than Timex.' On this occasion Mike, that's not true is it!?

No, it missed the deadline. Shame, bit of polish would sort that out something lovely.

I'm just glad the 14 is up there. There's a bit of a stigma over the 14 model around here and I've no idea why, so glad it's out in front
I should have nominated the estate really.....it's probably one of the most well-known cars on here
I also can't believe mine's the only 16v in it
There wasn't a ph2 last year either, and it's one of the most distinctive versions (certainly provokes more talking from bystanders in shows I've been to) there is. I just thought with the number of decent ph2s on here that there would be a whole heap of them offered up. Maybe people can't make it on that day?
