I'm going to get the ball rolling.

I saw this picture and think its amazing. Matt, I realise you have recently sold this car, so think you should have 190 of the month as it looks like a lot of hard work had gone into the car.

Beautiful, just beautiful...

electrical seats with memory
air condition
Airbag
etc.

lift lower chassis function
Brakes V8 W124

so , this are just some things from the car.

I was thinking that you can win once in a year, then those 12 cars go into a poll for 190 of the year. How does that sound to everyone?

That way everyone gets a fair chance at it rather than one car winning a few times should the voting go that way.

I think that is a great idea dave.

Also why not after car of the year put all 12 cars that won in a calender with the car of the year on the front page?

Makes sence really and will create money for the club too. :)

i voted for andy cowman's car..................dont get me wrong they are all beautifully awesome cars but it came down to matt's and andy's for these reasons,
matts depicts everything beautiful about a subtle yet stunning modded 190 and andy's for,(and dont ever put it down m8 ;) a very clean very nice standard 190,and the fact it still looks as elegant as the day it was made, especially for its age.
in fact as next year is the anniversary of the 190 why not make the back page of the calendar a time scale from the very first 190 to the last DTM model to show every variation in between :)
