What happened to EFCPOTY?
What happened to EFCPOTY?
I assumed we didn't bother last year as it was a foregone conclusion, but nothing again this year?

Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
Hard to keep track of who has bought what this year.
Jobbo's MX-5, was that this year?
MikeHunt just went for a cheeky handschalter
Integrale_Evo's Lupo?

And the winner is ME with the Alpine A110.
Thanks to everyone who voted. Hard lines to the runners up.

Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
It seems a no brainer, but does it qualify a 2025 purchase?
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
Wasn't it a 2013 purchase?
And IIRC it has to be a purchased car, not a built one. I didn't make the rules.
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
It is quite clear the the mighty Clio 182 Full Fat should win this prestigious award.
Dave!

I will allow it an honorary second place, after what is clearly the best purchase of the year.
My neighbours Fiat Panda 100HP

That reminds me, Holley got his A290 this year - surely a contender?scotta wrote: Wed Dec 31, 2025 10:24 am And the winner is ME with the Alpine A110.

Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
I just realised, i got my Elise in 2025 - so that’s another for the mix!


Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
Does my car would qualify for 2026?
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
I mean, it's been purchased this year....so should be for this year? The rules are fairly fluid....we had Duncs' down for 2023 and he didn't even purchase a car in 2023
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
2012 actually….but it was mot’d for the first time in 10 years this year so I think it counts

Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
It’s a pretty unique situation but i’m happy for the HPE R500 to be crowned EFCOTY 2025 if everyone else is!
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
Seems a bit premature Rich - still 21 mins left of 2025.

Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
fair point- i’m good to call it on the hour
Re: What happened to EFCPOTY?
Appparently I got the title wrong, it should be FECPOTY. But in light of recent news, seems it should be FECOTY.
I'd ask the Pollmaster to create a poll, but not sure it's needed
