Good heavens NO!!!!
The aim is for you to send in ideas for rules, regulations, categories etc so that I can draw up a proposal to post here for all to see. Of course, you may add to the proposal and suggest changes.
This is democracy in action.
I will be advised by the collective wisdom of the forum members.  ;D

Edit; All complaints are to be sent to Mr G De Klerk.

Should there be some kind of entry form?
I guess photo wise there should be engine, boot, interior from all 4 doors. info (apx build year, options, colour code)
Classes: Concourse, Road, Modified, Unrestored

Just a couple of ideas..

I'm keen to participate as long as it doesn't become onerous.  So I suggest only one competition per month or even every 2 months. 

Categories could include :

a) paint - closeup shots needed
b) interior - likewise closeups
c) woodwork
d) wheels
e) engine bay
f) brightwork


In each case points would be awarded for originality, and condition.

Further to the above, I think we would need to focus on one particular aspect of a cer for each competition rather than whole cars, beause of the limitations of judging from photos rather than seeing the car in person.

For each competition, there could be two categories :

a) daily or regular drivers
b) garage queens

Perhaps garage queen is abit of an extreme term - we could make it :

a) daily drivers
b) 'sunday only' cars.

I think quite a lot of us have cars that would fall in category b)

Mine's a daily, but I do try to keep an eye on her. I'm very keen on this idea!

My original thinking was an annual event.....

Well....when you take photos, the 690SEL badge will be there, mod's could cover from a Ute conversion to a very tidy set of alloy wheels. Personally you dont see alot of RED w116's and thats a shame, one of the few cars that it would suit.
