Yes it is time. If you are new to the forum (or just lurking out there (join up, it is fun)) then here is how it works. Take this list : Car Of The Year New Thread Of The Year Community Person Of The Year Best Media Event Of The Year Readers Other Modifications Most Anticipated 2016 Pick all/any/one of the categories and have a think of who you think deserves to be recognised in that category. Only rules are for Community Person no RR mods (although I doubt we'd win anyway) and for Event RR Gathering is ineligible (even though it totally would win  ). Best Media covers Websites, Blogs, Videos, Magazines, TV, Radio, Podcasts. We'll keep nominating until the end of the month, so expect this thread to get bumped a few times. Although we have voting an eventual winners, really for me it is about recognising the effort people have put in across the year so nominating people is just as important. |

Car Of The YearFor me this is a really tough choice between two cars. Sadly, they aren't cars with builds on here, but I started a thread on each and will nominate both. Rather amusingly, it seems our Dear Leader has also nominated both. This Holden Ute: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/183149/1978-holden-hz-ute-picsYeah that'll be my car of the year nomination sorted then. and this Alfa: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/175728/sr20-bertone-picsGoodness, that is all of my favourite things all put together. RETRO RIDES CAR OF THE YEAR... no one else gets a vote. Well, mmmmbog's Thread o' Win, naturally.
Community Person Of The YearProbably luckyseven for his fantastic show reports.
Best MediaSpeedhunters is pretty hard to beat, but that's what everyone will nominate so I'll go for errr I dunno, I'll fill this bit in later.
Event Of The YearUltimate Stance looked good, but I didn't make it there, so I'm not really in a position to comment. Totally going to say RRG even if it's not allowed. 
Readers Other ModificationsMystery Machine's frikkin laser. retrorides.proboards.com/thread/163905/alan-parsons-project
Most Anticipated 2016@johnnybravo's RX2 - although it may be 2020 by the time he's done building the tools he needs to build the car.

I'll revisit this post and add others as I think of/remember them. Car Of The Year One from back at the beginning of the year for this section from me. It seems to me that it takes an RR philosophy - taking what works in once scene and appling it to an unexpected model or from out of that scene. This to me takes the best of traditional JDM/zokusha style, with a healthy portion of drifty excess, I nominate the Ultrabox BMW 2002Edit: A second nomination in this category from me, the Spark Prince Skyline S54R. Those Wheels. New Thread Of The Year Community Person Of The Year Can I add community people for this category? and nominate corners stones of the south central sort of area RR collective that are TAB. Hardcore, Elk, MantaPhil and VIP - Friends, advisors and hosts of several memorable, and thoroughly looked forward to events throughout the year in their darkest east sussex HQ. Best Media I'm nominating here a source I've highlighted in my shared thread, and one that is regularly responsible for some of it's content, the facebook page for Parachoques Cromados. The Brazillian society/culture page posts a great mix of stance muscle and classic cars with a heavy dose of some of my South American favourites such as the Chevy Opala, Ford Corcel and the continents unique VWs.

These threads always make me dive into my bookmarks (participated threads are fine for short term threads but anything I really enjoy that looks like it’s gonna run and run gets a “bookmark”) Car Of The YearWell I like a journey and for me car of the year has to be finished to qualify) well a project car is never finished but on the road is a big step so Confused and his Ford Anglia 105eSome good lateral thinking in that thread so if you haven’t checked it out please do A really close second for me was Dez and his C4 Daily DriverNow Dez was a tiny bit sneaky with the early title and whilst he's updated it since I think a lot of people looked at the original title and thought Citroen C4 a bloody modern on the board - that'll get moderated out in short time - if you were one of those people you missed a big clue - It was a thread from Dez....... New Thread Of The YearErr I’ve probably had 30 threads or more that have been in this category and then replaced but a new favourite and I feel real bad for nominating the newest rollercoaster thread in preference to my previous favourite or my previous previous favorite Mystery Machine and his If only you were nearerCommunity Person Of The YearFor show reports that always make me curse word that I wasn’t there luckyseven few people have a really nice way with words and pictures and frequently give a lot to this place Best MediaErr so I don’t really do social media but I sort of have a Facebook account and in my news feed I’m pleased to get regular content from 70’s to 90’s cars we loveOh and it’s moderated sensibly – it’s all about the cars and a little tiny bit like this place. Event Of The YearThe obvious one is not eligible and I very much doubt the rules have changed in the last 8 years so I’m gonna struggle to nominate anything except Retro-kings at Snetterton as an alternative (it had potential hope it grows) Retro-Kings Snetterton Photo threadReaders Other ModificationsOK maybe a left field choice but I still dip into this thread when I’m struggling with getting what I want out of pictures I try to take – Yeah I know I’m basically a happy snapper but when forum members take the time and trouble to provide a little bit of advice I’m grateful Mystery Machine and his guide How to take photographsThere are several other threads that appear to be in my bookmarks from the Readers Other Modifications section and all of them provide some distraction from "the cars" in a very nice way all of them deserve a mention as they continually pop up in my bookmarks georgeb and his guide to life in Manila and a little railway project Letter from ManilaSeth and his life in miniature Diddy engineeringThe one below is finished but was nice to follow while it ran DWDarkWheels and his house on wheels Modern Renault Camper conversionMost Anticipated 2016OK maybe just maybe I’m stretching it a little to expect this to be ready by 2016 but hell – check it out because it’s really good @johnnybravo and his Mazda RX-3 – complete with a smidge of tinwormSeeing as it's already been nominated I have a couple of fall backs and I do hope both are completed in 2016 Blown_Imp and his Celica GT4 I do hope he's not watching paint dry - check it out it's a good read gewy and his "Thundersaloon Monza" Have a picture - cos whilst I do hope the car will be ready for 2016 it might be 2018 before we see a retrospective build thread  Sorry Sweetpea - you been since been nominated but I fully expect the M R Deux to be completed in 2016 so it was my original second choice There you go – all from my bookmarks (I'm actually not sure how many I am allowed but I haven't hit the buffers yet) |

Otherwise Dez Truck of the Year (a new invention by me ) - glenanderson 's BRS or Frankenhealey 's Red Goddess would be tied New Thread Of The Year - Either Mystery Machine 's Epic roadtrip of awesomeness, or pistonpopper's 12 cars and ebay tossers thread Community Person Of The Year - Either Mystery Machine or grizz - Bruce for inspiring people to get off their backside, and Grizz for recycling/freecycling and helping others.
