Sound like a good idea, especially the class thing.
Maybe, run classes (Forte, xr, tickford, fairlane, ute, etc), then run a grand champion, where the winners of each class are judged against the other class winners. just an idea? Cheers |

HLC's right- I would win lol
It might not be the best kept AU in the country as it's driven lot and lots and lots, but (I'm biased anyway) I reckon it would be one of the toughest looking AU's out there. I'm all for the comp- Falkeen, Sylox's and Bluprnt's utes, 012's, Laminge's and Noddy's TS50's, Bucky's and numerous other XR's- I would reckon there are some great contenders for a fantastic comp here..... Be good to publicly be acknowledge for your efforts as judged by your peers I think...

Sound like a good idea. Me personally, I modded my car to be what what I liked and what appealed to me (as do we all) but to be recognised for the hard work and effort would be a great buzz for anybody that receives recognition throughout the voting process.

We'll have to be fairly strict about the rules too- is it favorite AU or Best Looking AU. Me personally, I like the cars that have been modified to handle and perform better and to me, that would influence my decision to pick one car over another (for example Noddy's car over Gorans as both still look identical (excepting Matt's TS wheels)). This would also mean that people who have concentrated on interior mods could be excluded too...... Are we looking for the AU(s) with best visual exterior appeaal only?

I think aufalcon.com just had a competetion like this. However, not everyone could attend the bbq.
I need to hurry up and finish up my interior & exterior. Then start looking at go-fast bits

OK. Well lets start the competition then.
I guess we need to start by posting some pics of our cars. How we rate them is another story. MAybe a running Tally (like atendees for the BBQ or cruises - see example below). I know i won't win the XR category, but i got some good pix. Maximum of three photos per entry. Score tally could be like this. 1. BJMXR - 8.5, 8.0, 7.0, 9.5 2. LG - 8.5, 8.0, 7.0, 9.5 3. BUCKY - 8.5, 8.0, 7.0, 9.5 4. BLUEPRINT - 9.5, 8.0, 7.5, 2.0 (hehe) 5. LAMINGE - 8.5, 8.0, 7.0, 9.5 etc etc. How we'd work out final scores based on total number of votes etc mind you is beyond me. Especially if someone has 15 votes of 7.0 and another has 2 votes of 8.5 or something, its hardly fair. But hey, i didn't think through it too much. Just an idea. Either way, i like the idea of this thread. So what do we do from here?

I think we should discuss it before we jump straight into it and start posting pics, i think there should be a seperate thread for each catogory ie utes, xr, Tseries. and entrants has a deadline to have there photos posted. Do u think there should be a limit to how many people want to show there car off or just have a deadline on people submitting there photos of there beasts |

I reckon the Ranking should be based on some aspects.
Score out of 10 for: - Interior - Exterior - Power/Brakes/Suspension/Stereo Modifications We could do this through the Forum. Or maybe Casper could set something up on aufalcon.com

Orbit would beat me for most lit up AU ... hee hee.
My brain hurts thinking about it all as well. I'l go for best commercial vehicle if there is such a prize. I wonder how many made up awards there will be on the day. The Dok would win the "Clayton's" AU ... the AU when you are not having an AU award
