“Same as always” would mean DMs are allowed, as they were in many past ones. Not that they need to be though, the system you have is good, was just checking.
Also a tip for this, it helps to break up the wall into multiple smaller, square-or-screen shaped chunks.
Correction: your first suggestion was the Aston V8 Vantage, but the first picture you posted shows the earlier DB7 Vantage Volante. This is the Vantage you meant to mention (although I’m not suggesting it since I’ve already done so 5 times):
As for me, I’m in the process of designing and engineering several test mules from 1995 - hence my selections all dating from that year. In fact, it (or the preceding year) may just be the greatest year in motoring history:
And if my original plan for submitting something from the '90s doesn’t go to plan, I’ll try something from a previous or later decade as a Plan B.
BTW, one suggestion about judging that helps making CW more interesting…
When judging the stats, after judging the “coolness”, I started with the smaller stats. That helps building interest since if you fire the most important stats first, it might be rather obvious early on who is going to win, and going through the smaller stats will then mostly feel like a way to make the waiting longer, for something you already know the results of. Saving the major stats for last means that the actual results may be a real cliffhanger and hence more worth waiting for.
