(Edit: Re-read the thread and have thus edited my post down to the one required picture)

I would enter this but, alas, I don't own it anymore.

Why do you not own that anymore D:

Couldn't afford to keep it running. Didn't have the space to store it anymore. It's in a museum now! However, it still gets driver duty. That, and I can call the guy, go down to the museum and take it for a spin almost anytime. :cool:

a lot of people are entering cars that have absolutely no chance of being voted a top car :)

I understand this, and thus am not entering with my Sierra. There are some fantastic cars on the site, but im sorry, a Mazda 323, a Volvo 850 or anything like that has no chance against a 7, an X 1/9 or a 60's mustang..

Thanks for not putting my mondeo on that list :D
 
It probably won't do terribly well, but here is my 2001 Mercedes-Benz C240 (as in 2.6L, those liars :lol:).

It isn't very unique, but it's a good car, and one of only a couple of W203s on here, so keep it in mind. Thanks. :)

Thanks for the round up. One correction is that my s2k is a 2006, not an 02.

Sad to hear about the Caterham. Hope the damage is not too severe.

I know my car isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of my favorites, so I'll play.

I always loved these and would still consider one now, although the Z4 Coupe is getting quite appealing.

You can cross that one off the list becuase he stuffed it into a ditch.:rolleyes:

That's the favourite out of the running, people!

Well that didn't take long. :blink:

I think MXM's car can still be entered though?
The entry criteria wasn't very specific. Maybe i missed the spirit of the contest and i should change my entry to a street driven car? :dunno:
 
We'll close this thread tomorrow night and start the vote, I think most people that want to enter already have.
 
Exclude mine if they're there, as they are now both sold.

I just got a runabout now to save some money, so I don't think i'll be entering that. :lol:

Seems horribly boring to create a top 25 out of some 40 entries.
