Damn, 24 entries? I can only vote once!
Please , less STANCE rides!!! Thanks for all your good work! Create Peace
Zonda. No contest.
I scrolled down to fresh up my memory
Once I saw the Hilux I went straight to the poll
Many choices this time. F50 the greatest though.
Some seriously special cars in contention this month, scrolling down I was really starting to worry about how I could possibly choose a favourite. That was until I realised Nigel's Hilux had been thrown into the mix, after which it was a proverbial walk in the park. That thing is simply mind-melting, it re-writes the rulebook as to what one man can acheive with a garage, some spanners, and a whole heap of determination. Absolutely inspirational.
Van Go: perfecto all-star.
This shouldn't be cars of October but cars of the year! Soooo many good ones, very difficult to choose.
Wow this was an epic month
ToyotaSupraMan Cant agree more!
I know what Dino is voting for haha
Voting for a Pagani seems a little unfair compared to all the more or less homemade candidates somehow. I chose the Van Go, because I freakin' love pretty much every aspect of this thing.
This is a no brainer for me. The hilux gets my vote.
This has been one epic month, but Nigel's hilux defiantly tops the list for me.
PaulDYuen Not as easy as you think lol
MrMikeOc It sure had. Jesus looks at that list!!
ToyotaSupraMan Amazing, isn't it!!??
@driveCircles Huayra?
I would pick the entire Bryn/Dino Pagani collection as a whole. I made a whole folder for those images to cycle through as my desktop background. speedhunters_dino Dino you captured the cars in their environment perfectly and Bryn got all the special details. EPIC
Fuck.... this is hard. I need to eat a taco and think about this.
S14 gets my vote. Hard to choose between that the Brz, the F50, the Imai works Z , and the S15. Sorry, but the Hilux and the other cars are plain boring.
Damn! This month is epically hard to choose!
Nigel's Hilux - more so than a poster dream car, his project is a huge inspiration to me... and it doesn't hurt that I've followed each of his blog posts and watched the build evolve. Anyone making their own tube bender and notcher as the first steps a building a car from the ground up gets my vote
Both Paganis get my honorable mentions for taking 'attention to detail', big thanks to Dino and Bryn for the amazing features on these automotive works of art.
so many cars i wanted to choose, but it was no contest. if the hilux wasn't there i never could have chosen, but since it was, my choice was made for me.
honorable mention to the sr20 fairlady and the imai works Z and the M3
So torn between the Hilux and the Datsun Roadster... I feel like car of the month sells the Hilux short. Not to mention the fact that most have been following the build since it's inception.
I really liked the E28, my love to the cool retro machines from the 80's and 90's is still on fire. Im waiting for someone here in Germany to slam a w140
This was a really hard choice as there were some amazing and unique cars this month. For me it came down to the Datsun Roadster and the Hilux. The Hilux is obviously the clear winner here even though the competition was tough. The military S14 for example, has anyone built a car that is even remotely close to that? The answer is no. It wins on so many levels just for the fact that people either absolutely hate it, or absolutely love it. The fact that it doesn't make sense to some, if not most people, means he did something right.
Came here to see the stats, was not dissappointed
Tough, tough decision but my vote had to go to the ETS Hilux. That thing is just amazing.
ETS Hilux. Tough tough choice though. So many good cars here.
Imai's S30 is amazing. To see a build like that in North America is astounding. I definitely will take inspiration from that build for my first car.
This... is... almost impossible. Seems like I made the same choice as the majority though.
Hard choice. While I'm a diehard fan of Japanese motoring, I couldn't take my eyes of the Ford Van. The ETS Hilux is a truly incredible vehicle, but I'm a sucker for wood interiors...
ETS Hilux hands down.
I wanted to vote for the Forge Berg Mk1, as knowing those guys I know what's gone in to it, but the ETS Hilux swung it for me. It's on another level, and to be done mainly by one guy, is breath taking.
So many highly engineered, deeply styled, hardly built vehicle and people vote for drifting hilux... This world goes crazy.
As to me - the hardest poll ever. I want at least 5 votes
AlexanderBoroday You seriously think the ETS (=Engineered To Slide) Hilux isn't atleast highly engineered and hardly built vehicle? I'm 100% sure the ETS Hilux deserves all the votes it has got.
