You bet! Very good turnout so far, maybe we can do truck and MC contests once a year separately.

I think we should be able to vote in the gallery itself, we'll find out when the time comes. This is all new to me, too

Last time I was there to see what's new I didn't see anything anywhere that said "vote"...perhaps I missed it though.....

Bob, right now it's open for everybody to add their entries, so there is no voting as of yet. Once the 'closing' date rolls around I'll close the gallery to the public and add a voting thingamajig. At least that's the plan, but knowing how my plans usually work out....I have a back-up plan.

And remember, this is your (all of you) contest. Any suggestions on how to improve for the next one, let me know.

Yeah, sure.........everyone loves to pick on the fat kid.
BTW Damian, that little bity fish you're holding in your avitar pic.......does the fish represent that there is intelligent life in Australia after all? Top that one Aussie!




James, you have it pretty much set up the same way we do it on Aeroscale. Everyone puts their entry pic's in the gallery, then when the entry closeing time rolls around, the voting opens up on the entry page. Works pretty well over there.

Good-natured banter makes the world go around. I'm just really surprised that Hermon hasn't figured out how much better Chev's are, he seems like he knows his stuff. It shows there's just no figuring some people !!



Oh yeah, Hermon, that little fish in the avatar was just the BAIT brother



Come on down under some day and we'll go out for a fish and a cold beer !!

Cheers, D

D, your pic looks like Dan Ackroyd in the movie Caddy Shack when he was trying to kill the gopher.


I vote Damian should be disqualified for posting a picture of Dan Ackroyd killing one of Gods creatures.
I also vote Bob should be disqualified for laughing at Damians jokes.


I vote that everyone should vote for me cause I'm an all around good guy and friend to all humanity and I know alot about stuff.

Hermon, sorry man but I can't fault your logic. Everybody please vote for Hermon.

P.S. Anybody who featured in the original Blues Brothers gets automatic Life Membership to the Major Legends Club, and that gopher was just a nasty little vermin that deserved nothing more than a long swim on the end of my line as live bait.

Cheers, D

Been there, keep doing that....you'll find that the ones that seem to fight you tooth and nail are the most rewarding to finish. ...at least I do....

Not much longer to get your entries in if you haven't done so already!

I'll be closing the gallery for entries on Monday, around noon my time, since I have the day off it'll give me time to set the voting up

Then, voting will be from then til the end of February.

Alright, the gauntlet has been hurled...I'm pitting my lime popsicle truck against Jim's dreamsicle truck!
{Reason for the last second entry...I showed the daughter Jim's truck and she liked his - she's disowned!...the boy, however, likes daddy's truck...we'll keep him!}
