Sorry, couldn’t resist 
. Looking forward to the results but take your time.
Any chance this will be finished?
Yes. It will be finished.
PHEW! 
And I know how real life can be, I have been quiet the last month or so, new job and everything on this end so I havent had much time to play.
yeah, i was waiting to see if my submission ever got accepted, but it appears not yet, guess i just need to wait until official comfirmation
The Long: I was very busy shortly after I started this competition. We lost an employee (Bad work ethic and we let him go) So while I had to both fill the gap, and train the new blood. This let me with one day a week I could call my own, and I let this competition slide. To further compound the issue, I was never truly invested into this challenge in the way I was with W.H.A.L.E.S, 8-Track Tape, and Group A Homologation. I brain child-ed ‘The Best in Class’ as a sort of angry and spiteful response to complaints about how strict I was on the rules for my previous competitions, on top of that the lax approach I took to enforcing a naming convention, saving issues with the build at that time, and nearly every submission needing to be re-sent twice to get past LUA errors, or botched saves, I was fast losing the little interest I had in the BiC. The time I did have, I squandered on other less important tasks, to avoid working on the BiC. I am not proud of it, but I delayed long enough, and I have some time free this weekend, so I will set to and bloody finish the BiC, and it will have at minimum the quality of writing from my previous events.
I ask for your forgiveness as I now genuinely have a competition I want to run and will be vested in. But in order to do that, the BiC must be finished. I will not leave you empty at this time, I do have some information to post.

The stats are done, all I gotta do is write. It is coming, I promise.
Don’t sweat it, you’re nowhere near as bad as me, with my half-written Mille Cavalli shootout (which was really a prototype pilot for the BSLL), except I did promise an illustrated article, which is still half written (at 3000 words…). That was over a year ago. And I’m still promising to complete it.
Also hell yeeeaahhhh sportiest in class just what I was hoping for.
Slight typo there.
[size=85]Edits: Reformatted and deleted extra line of quote.[/size]
Well, I cant wait to read what mine will say… I have never had good things to say about Dodge Caravans and mine is…well just look at it! ROFLOL!!!
EDIT: The one thing I LOVED about this challenge is the fact that no one can run away with everything, there is something here for everyone.
Your forgiven, my competitions tend to be overly complex. I do really like the open format you came up with for it though.
I would have to say that Yurimacs quality had to be damn good, as well as Tyconderos affordability… I don’t think there was much I could do to improve my quality and affordability without sacrificing my off road score.

Look on the bright side, your off-road score was sufficiently high enough to dwarf the other “not-a-jeep”
Lordred are you still going to update the list of participants?
Damn! I thought I’d had the Eco review 
. Oh well, looking back I took it far from seriously anyway, my car had a tiny twin-turbo V8 
.
Ah, I’m not surprised mine didn’t do too well. I had little direction on which way I wanted to make the car, so I ended up making a mess.

Looks more like a not land rover to me.
I’ve finished the first draft of the writing and will need to proof-read/edit
No worries Dont stress yourself out too much, that just makes doing these more bitter each time for you.
Take your time, I’m sure you’ll be beating your head in with my review. That or you’ll be beating the hell out of me with your prose. I may have won the power segment, but it took huge sacrifices to pull that off since I was competing with Strop and his 1KS sports car.
I love how I dont think of things in HP anymore, I just read it in 225 Strops or 1 Kilo Strop…what have you done to us Strop?!
