The poll has come up now jaikai thanks if you have tweeted something :punk:

 

Haven't touched anything, actually not even at home, using my phone to post while my wife is driving.

That's weird . The poll wasn't there before and said I wasn't eligible to vote on the poll. Then after my comment it came up....

Congrats Nick.

Wow......

 

For those of you who have kindly taken the time to read my Journal, you will all know how much of a roller coaster my ownership experience has been over the last 3 or so years. There has been more than a few times where I reached breaking point and was ready to give up on my vision of what I wanted my 300ZX to be. But because of this roller coaster ride I think have an even stronger bond with the car than ever before. It truely is part of the family.

 

It feels somewhat strange for me to receive so many votes when so few people have seen my Z in the metal, especially when up against such well established and admired Z’s as Andrew and Gaz’s cars.

I can only assume that I have managed to successfully convey the amount of blood, sweat, tears and sleepless nights (sad I know) that have gone into making my Z what it is today.

 

I’d like to say well done to Gaz and Andrew for their closely fought contest. Both are fantastic cars that many owners aspire to transform their own cars to such standards.

 

All I can say is Thank You to everyone who voted for my Z, I’m greatful beyond words. All being well I hope to get to some of the bigger meets this year, and hope that it lives up to the expectations that this competition has created.

There are a number if truly fantastic Z’s in this club, and I shall endeavour to keep pushing the standard of my car to match those set by those cars... and hopefully compete against them again in the future.

 

Finally, I’d like to give a special thank you to JoelyP. Joel encouraged me to rejoin the Club and show what I was doing with my Z and the direction I wanted to go. He also persuaded me to enter this competition, despite my reservations about so few people actually seeing my car (and it’s lack of engine). Cheers buddy!

 

Nick

Well at least you aint worked your arse off and spent a small fortune to get a 2.5% vote joely.. couldve been worse huh..

Well done Nick, no excuses for going all German on us now!

Well done Nick a truly worthy winner :thumbup1: Its great to see someone go so far into modding his Z over years of work and not giving up well done mate.

Congrats Nick. Yeah, never seen your car in person but having followed the build on social media stuff I'm well aware of what you've gone through on the build and I'm very impressed/jealous of the outcome. That's one lovely car and you deserve it for all the work you've done.

Congratulations Nick, well done! You've been through thick and thin with this car and you've popped out the other side with it head heald high. See you some point later this year I'm sure!

It was great to see that everyone received at least one vote. My personal favourite and the winner of my vote was Andrews clean UK example but every car had something going for it.

 

Well done Nick. I look forward to seeing your 300zx, and many more, this year at various events.

Well done nick! Its an amazing looking car and a worthy winner!

 

Thank you to the one person who voted for my car too!

Now there's graciousness in its humblest form......could have been worse, you could have gotten ZERO votes. :lol: ;)

 

*held ....... god I’ve been waiting years to pick you up on a spelling mistake! :lol:

Ha, wish I spotted that first.

:lol: How the hell did that happen!? :lol:

This competition was pretty heated towards the end there, it could’ve gone either way for the runners up! Well done to everyone who entered, they’re all fantastic examples of this 30 year old beast. I had a hot favourite and it seems that the majority of voters agreed with me, but voting is never easy with such a high standard across the board.

 

I get the feeling Nick’s lovely example is going to continue to sweep up the awards as all the pieces of the project are gradually sewn together to create what will probably result in one of the most desirable and inspirational Zeds in the club. It won’t be without stiff competition though as there are so many awesome machines around at the moment.

Higher proportion as a ratio than who voted in the Brexit referendum. :lol:

For the 2019 Poll i think we should change things up abit.

 

Speaking to Nick the other day on how people may be reserved to vote untill they start to see a leader

we wondered what it would be like to have a blind pole where nobody sees the result until its all over.

 

That way it leaves more suspense and surprise to when the winner is anounced when the timer expires.

However, this poll was only run for a week, vs the 2017 comp that was 3 weeks and only 46 or 48 voted.

 

But I agree, I think it should be a blind poll.... I think the results will more accurately reflect what people actually like rather than being able to see the current poll standings and then make up their mind.

Like the sound of that Lee :yes:

As has been mentioned before, I would like to be able to vote for more than one car

How about emailing the entire membership that the poll is taking place?

Your correction of Simon’s correction requires correcting. “Its head held high”!

Your correction of an incorrect correction needs correcting, you’ve put a capital when it was used mid sentence, hehe!
