Well Ill explain why mine SHOULDNT win

I hate cars now. Ok the Alfa had problems, which was to be expected. But to buy a 2004 car, with little mileage, only to find out that the Brake discs are made of chocolate (and the replacement ones as well!!) then to have problems with fuses (as of last night)..

Oh, and also body panels that bend and dent as soon as you touch them

Basically, Im sick and tired of having "decent" cars. Maybe Ill look at a boring Focus or Astra or something in a few years

But yeah, vote for the MG because its rare as, is still a work in progress (if and when I get money) and has a lot of potential. Its also been modified "Professionally" (thanks MG)

Go on, vote and make me happy

mine should win, coz.... er dunno. I guess besides the paint,the work has been done by me,with limited know how. And is a daily driven car,which is also shown at several car shows per year.

Mine civic should win cos its rare US version with great brand parts, i'm doing this car in different style than other tuners like JDM, i modifying engine instead of body and i think im going in good way! btw. i'm modifying this car for about 6 months and it's still W.I.P

SHould have kept the Micra mate.

You should all be able to vote again now.

Id already voted... does this mean I have lost my vote? Because it still say's ive already voted.

no, the vote has always been working

Just when the topic was made to a global announcement, the topic could not be replied to.

Sorted now though

is yours deffo a US model, I mean apart from the fact its a right hooker I cant seem to see many of the tell tale signs indicating that it is. The only thing I can spot is the bump strips are missing on the front bumper, which is a classic sign of US civic's. All the yank ricers go crazy for our bumpers cause of the bump strips. I personally prefer your with the smooth look. Does it have a cup holder in the centre section?

first of all here is the link if you want to know some things about this version of civic -> LINK and about cup holder... its missing because this guy who own this car before, broke and take this off... next: i've never seen bump strips on coupe version from 99-00 so maybe show me one of these?!? and i've done the picture for you
sorry about the quality, i've got usa sign on my engine block as well...
sorry if i'm doing grammar mistakes

Yet its right hand drive...

That could just be where the electrical part originates; and the engine? Im not disupting the fact, because I know nothing much about it... but my Hitachi LCD uses a Panasonic IPS panel and probably a load of Sony components lol, but its still a Hitachi and not a Panny or Sony.

So the car can understandably use components which originate from a different region of the world. In fact even better than that, my 75 uses tonnes of BMW components lol.

lol, grammar's fine bud (for now)!

Why NOT to vote for mine?

I won last year, and so far, I've escaped the curse of car of the year

Since winning last year, sorted out wiring, sorted driver's heated seat wired up, put temperature displays in, aded reverse sensors, replaced the clutch and clutch slave cylinder, and I think thats all.

Been lazy on it recently, spending more time on my bike

So thats why mine shoudln't win.


I voted for Paul and his Passat, because he's improved on it even more from last year.

Definately loads of time and effort gone into it and a great show car dispite being driven daily.


Rhys was a close second though, but just started a bit too late to win this years car of the year IMO

I'd be bloody impressed if you were bilingual too Sanchez
