My nominating of my v8 swap car was partly as a joke and to see if i would get any votes (heck, just to make it to the poll is all i wanted to do!). More of a joke on the current state of the body of the car, instead of the engine. I did ask P71 if ROTM was "ride" or "rotary" and as he has said, it's "ride". With the picture I have shown, unless you read my signature or know me and had P71 not put on the first page it is a swap car, I do not think you could tell. Also, most of the pictures submitted for nominations were exterior shots of the car. Most the voting will be based on what the car looks like, not what engine or engine set up it has, unless you know the car.
So why else did I put an unfinished car up for nomination? How many of us have a car that is currently in the process of being modified, upgraded, and/or fixed? How often do our cars sit, not running? I'm sure most of us would say our cars are never finished, there is always something to be done, so the requirement of a 95%-100% finished will never happen.
Do I take this poll seriously? What does the ROTM owner get? Phil has mentioned turning this into a calendar. Of course, we now have the restriction of professional grade pictures...not all of us are that skilled and/or may not know someone who's skilled...so we may have an awesome car, but because we can't get great pictures of it, we can't win. I would like to think that RCC in some way helps the ROTM owners get professional quality pictures of their car for the calendar. It could be as simple as another member taking the pictures...i dont know!
As it's been said, no other FDs were nominated, so mine stayed.
here are two older pictures of my car:
