The people have spoken! 33 ballots were cast, and the race was close.
There's some consensus in votes, but certainly not unanimity. Every car except three had at least one vote placing them first (from a non-owner)! And every car had a vote with zero points.
Just to remind you, I've been assigning points to the votes cast with this progression: 17 15 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. So if you have only sent be 3 cars, all the rest got zero points.
The top group has been changing places all along, and the final standing is such that 7 points separate the first two places.

THE SPECIAL CATEGORY
It embodies one of the classic dilemmas, what's the best second hobby: bikes or boats? Or in this case, a broken bike or a broken boat?
For this category, the preferred choice got 1 point, the other 0 points.
And without further ado, the winner by quite a large margin is:
1. BerserkerCatSplat's 1973 Glastron CV-21 boattrailer - 14 points
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/pic.armedcats.net\/m\/mx\/mxm\/2018\/02\/04\/b.jpg"}[/IMG2]
2. altoid's 2007 fucking yellow Ninja 500r bike - 8 points

This was interesting to follow. It seems mostly only bike-people voted for the bike (unless they are also boat people, in which case boat trumps the bike). Some votes even came with "I don't like bikes therefore I vote boat" comment :lol:
But to be fair, these were not the most representative examples of two categories, as we're comparing here a fairly common beginner bike with a V8 JET BOAT! Also BCS's threads always contain photos of engine internals
