Car of the Month?

k20_ed · 22nd October 2010, 16:25

On some sites they have a 'car of the month' competitionand members get to vote for their favourite car each month.

Could that be considered here?

FWH · 22nd October 2010, 16:33

Do you have a link to someone who does this, just to understand how they do it?

Home - Car of the Month

October Ride of the Month - Hatch a.k.a. Derek - SUN*WORKS Team of the Rising Sun!!!

coste1l · 22nd October 2010, 17:36

I was talking to Pottsy a while back about the winner being the face of civinfo for a month ie the car on the main page!

k20_ed · 22nd October 2010, 17:37

That sounds a good idea

HappyMan · 22nd October 2010, 18:20

I think this would be a good addition to the site if done well

FWH · 22nd October 2010, 18:46

Are there enough non-standard cars on the forum to do this every month with a fresh set of cars?

k20_ed · 22nd October 2010, 18:49

It can be a standard Civic, it doesnt have to be a modded one

rossk1009 · 22nd October 2010, 18:52

Even adding something like wind deflectors or painting calipers should be classed as a mod.

Personally if someone did a really good job cleaning there car and took some good photos then it would be worthy of getting a chance to be car of the month.

I mean we've got everything from 1.4s to S/C CTRs to M200s. So anyone could be car of the month

Osarkon · 22nd October 2010, 19:45

I agree with the point rossk1009 made.

You don't necessarily have to modify your car, but if you'd spent time cleaning/detailing it, and it had the 'wow' factor, it could be car of the month?

Wire_Gal · 23rd October 2010, 00:41

Good idea

I like it!

Helen Witch · 23rd October 2010, 04:17

Even if photo taken with a nice background!

I think its a good idea.

FWH · 23rd October 2010, 07:48

Are we talking "Civic photo of the month" or "Civic of the month"? Discuss.

St Thomas · 23rd October 2010, 07:58

What is the difference?
**** PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION ****

Relic · 23rd October 2010, 12:23

Whose got the time to sit and compare every civic and then decide which is best ?
Would it not be better for user to submit pictures and do a round robin or random pick ?

Think the competittion is a good idea but not practical in reality

coste1l · 23rd October 2010, 13:14

On other forums the mods decide on the entries then we vote from there.....

k20_ed · 23rd October 2010, 14:39

This is a way it could work

- At the end of each month three vehicles are nominated to be the next Car of the Month by Admin. Members are then encouraged to vote for their favourite.
Once a winner is chosen, the winner is asked to supply a good quality picture of the car & a spec of any mods they have done.
Once a car has been Car of the Month once it is then discounted from being Car of the Month unless it has major cosmetic modifications ( ie it looks completely different).

Then at the end of the month the process starts again

coste1l · 23rd October 2010, 14:45

this works on another forum i frequent where i came second to a citroen..........

k20_ed · 23rd October 2010, 15:29
