Seems like there is some interest in doing a thread like this. In order to organize it, everyone should submit one picture of their car. (let's simplify this and only allow 1 car per user)

There are quite a few users who rarely post, so I don't think they should be on the poll, so therefore only cars posted in this thread will be able to be voted on, that should eliminate the lurkers.

Remember this is just the entrance thread, so post ONE pic of your car if you wish to participate and try not to post too much more than that.

Ok I guess I will take a stab at it.

Here is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE

44.jpg

In about a week, maybe 2, it will look a little different. Rear will drop about 1'', front should be around the same, and the wheels will be polished spokes with a black lip. The muffler is also dump tip style now.

Mods:
-Racing beat header with full exhaust
-Tokiko Blues
-Racing beat lowering springs
-Impul super-fin wheels with Kuhmo Ecsta XS tires
-RE-Amemiya shift knob (ok not yet, but will order soon :D )

edit: Mods if you think this thread would be more applicable in the 'post your car' forum, you can move it. Also, I think we should stick to cars only here, maybe a separate thread for motorbikes?

edit2: Adding mod list/specs is fine. We'll see how it goes before deciding when to making a voting thread.

I'm not even posting my volvo in this. One thing I do know is that MXM will win hands down.

Damn, your right. It's a no contest. I say we BAN MXM FROM ENTERING!!!

It'll be, Finalgears best car (other than MXM's Lotus 7):p
 
Gee, guess I won't even bother. :whistle:
 
nobody would vote for a damn lexus anyways. loser.
Also, MXM will win
 
so this is really a vote for 2 through 25
 
actually...morgan vs lotus 7 would be a good competition here.
 
Yeah but he only has 48 posts, so hardly a regular :p. If I entered, I suspect I'd end up second-best among just the Jaguars, at best.
 
I'll enter my 1985 Jeep CJ7 Renegade

This thing is a true multi purpose vehicle. I drove it daily for 3 years in all weather and it will do most 4 diamond trails out a Barnwell Mountain in East Texas. Most of the time, I drive it 3 hours to the trails, run hard all day, and drive home.

I'll play. 1969 Mustang Coupe. Legend Lime color. Was my mothers' car in high school, and was given to me to be my first car in high school.

 
We need contests I can win, like "most embarrassing car to be seen in" and "most goofy/girly looking"
 
I can see my car has a fanclub here :lol:

I'm curious to see where will it stand. I know a lot of people adore it, but there are people who can't stand it, and I have been told how ugly it is :p

But anyway...

Caterham 7

Super Sprint spec. Started life as a Lotus 7, was rebuilt from scratch.
Ford Crossflow, twin Webers, 155hp, 5-speed box, live axle, LSD.

Hehe, I'll have a go as well. Probably belongs to the katwalk class of contestants :mrgreen:

1991 Mazda 323F 16-valve, 98 000 km, original, unmolested not-rusty example, absolutely full service history.
 
i'd throw my 928 in the ring but let's face it, they're one of the more misunderstood cars out there. :(
