We could always refer back to tbe nominations tbread, where we confirmed that
1. Rod is an ov9 forum member
B. Rod's 918 wasnt part of the 2017 (or any previous) voting : ergo a 2018 purchase
It could have been purchased in the 6 weeks of 2017 that weren’t included in the 2017 contest because it finished so early for some unknown reason?
You could be onto something there mate. We'll have to ask Pete why he did that? :?

Would the fact this is a much more laid back competition with none of the crazy strict rules of previous years disqualify Rod's most epic purchase on that basis? :)

Actually it could well be a 2017 purchase with 2018 delivery.

Marv can confirm that as I remember receiving a msg from him at the time.

Well that would just make a mockery of the whole 2017 contest! 😯

I want to change my vote.

On members voting for themselves, do we say to MP candidates that they can't vote for themselves in general elections? No.

Oi! Nominations for the 2017 ECPOTY closed on 26th December, with voting starting on the 27th - not 6 weeks before the end of 2017! See image below showing when votes were cast. And Rod's 918 was not purchased in those four day.

And it was me who voted for the Up! GTi - in protest at the undemocratic, and frankly lazy, first past the post system.

Tbh, I don’t give a fuck. Rod is a top guy, but he’s only posted twice on this forum since it’s inception, probably doesn’t even know about the contest and certainly didn’t enter his car into it.

Coaster is a long term poster who has stepped up and bought THE all time iconic evo/OV9 car. He deserves to win regardless.

Yes, I think we should just say Coaster has won, and move on to 2019 CPOTY... I'm sure Rich can't wait! :lol:

ok, if 12 people post they want to change their vote to Rods 918 I’m happy to redo the poll.

Even Theresa May wouldn’t have fucked a vote this badly.

I’m just offering the chance for everyone to have a say - I’m happy to ditch rules if the people want it. No one does yet, but if half the votes for Coaster feel conned, then I’m laid back enough to change their votes.

I don’t think anyone apart from mik cares...
Maybe we can have a CPOTY thread where Mik can be the only judge and the 918 the only choice?
How about not having a sig at all?
