Mmmm, I'm no judge, but hell I cannot see what part of Megan resembles a horse.
I know what I would rather ride home....

Clarification needed
Just to clarify my post Phil - you should have won paint (as you did), Marks car should have been a clear second IMHO....dont want to get in trouble there

The awkward explanation
I better explain my statement, as my feathers are not ruffled.
People who know me a little better would understand that I can get prickley about a few things but that is usually because you hit righ on an insecurity I have.
I was very concerned that the "graphics" may have either influenced or detered the judges from scoring the car appropriately, Marks paint is awsome perhaps a better paint job. This is where I get prickly if I was awarded the trophy but majority of opinion would say otherwise that is awkard and uncomfortable for me.
Baz please accept my appology, Tenrocca you can go Jump

I think this is the car you guys are talking about.
From memory it is a Homebush body with a custom chassis. Very wide tyres.

That's the one Ben. Thanks for your help. I have a couple of photo's of it too, but unfortunately, they are in film and not suitable to download here.

No offence meant and none taken. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Back to my idea of creating a level playing field based upon value..............
One fair way would be to take the Market Insurance Value of a car.
Show us your Insurance Policy and categorise your car to the pre-determined market range i.e under 50k etc etc
1st, 2nd, 3rd for each class and then an overall winner based upon People's choice.
Judging would still be based upon the existing criteria i.e. paint / engine bay etc etc.
Only a thought

Pete, I thought my idea was a can of worms... Are you saying that because an insurance company insurers a car for X $'s that means its worth that much!!!!!!! :-)
I say the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method works best. Voted by the group!!! Then again, I've never won anything so why should that mean I'm a chance... hehehehehehhe

Matt,
Its up to you what you have as Market / Replacement Value on your Insurance Policy assuming its acceptable to the Insurance Company.
I doubt anyone would want to fiddle the value just so they could win a $20 trophy.
Then again, I've spent heaps of time polishing my rocket for a $15 one - I think I'm the last S on the KISS

That's my point though.. If I insure my car for 80k but it is only really worth 60 then shoudln't I be competing on the 60K catergory not the 80??? And vice versa!
Ahhhh.... as usual it's all too hard! Now where is my polish cloth as want me a $15.00 trophy!
That said... I could insure my car for 25K and then maybe I'd have a chance?

If you want to win a S&S, you either put in time or money or both. I think most people are happy with that and realise that opinions vary (see above!). I agree with Spooky: KISS!
