It is that time of the year again. We're taking nominations in the following categories : Thread Of The Year 2010Car Of The Year 2010RR Build Thread of The Year 2010Most Anticipated RR Car 2011Website Of The Year 2010Best Blog 2010Best Photo 2010RR Photographer Of The Year 2010Show Of The Year 2010Forum Person Of The Year 2010Best Magazine 2010Readers Other Modification 2010Some notes : As ever Retro Rides and The Gathering are not eligable for their relevant categories (website and show) due to the fact they would clearly win and it wouldn't really be a fair award  We've slimmed down the photography categories this year, we'll see how the nominations go on those in case we need to expand back out. We have a Best Car and a Build Thread of the year, these are obviously not the same thing, as we have some excellent build threads and I feel they deserve some recognition. Similarly with the new Readers Other Modifications category, there is some great stuff in there, so go and have a hunt through (that could be awarded to a great thread or a cool build). For Website of the year nominations please pick websites that are at least 90% car related .. reddit and ebay are great websites,.. but that isn't really what this category is for, but I trust you guys (and we will trim the nominations down the relevant stuff if needs be). It is very easy to forget some of the great threads, and some of the people that repeatedly contribute cool stuff (for forum person of the year) so it might be worth checking out the facebook status updates : Facebook page also some of the threads still on the front page of the main site www.retro-rides.org (if it decides to work today  )... Nominations will close early December, best thing to do is quote the post and put your nominations next to those that you are nominating for. If it is a thread or a car PLEASE put a link if you can, it helps us massively when we come to create the polls. 2010 has be a great year for RR, it has grown in size, we've had some excellent builds and some really great contributions to our little world, so a massive thank you to everyone that has contributed. |

Fantastic, I love this time of year! Thread Of The Year 2010 -- Samage's NEC show pic thread - the most comprehensively entertaining show pic thread since Amazo's Chelsea Auto Legends one (which comes a close second!) Car Of The Year 2010 -- RFChris's Zodiac - great car with a story behind it; one to watch RR Build Thread of The Year 2010 -- Mystery Machine's Teenage DirtbagMost Anticipated RR Car 2011 -- Daveyboy20's Turbo CapriWebsite Of The Year 2010 -- Crank & Piston - the recent redesign has improved an already good site enormously Best Blog 2010 -- Loxlee Loves EnginesBest Photo 2010 -- the ghostly SethRR Photographer Of The Year 2010 -- svt2888 - a much-underrated RR snapper who consistently brings quality Cars & Coffee coverage Show Of The Year 2010 -- Goodwood RevivalForum Person Of The Year 2010 -- Mystery Machine - talented, selfless, community-focused, tenacious... I know he had a clean sweep at last year's awards, but it was totally deserved Best Magazine 2010 -- OctaneReaders Other Modification 2010 -- it featured on the General board rather than Readers Other Modifications, but still... it's got to be the Bosozoku colouring bookI'd also like to give a special nomination for Best series of threads to both Amazo and stealthstylz for their consistently excellent Drag Racing History and Hot Rod History threads. Fantastic work by the pair of them. ;D |

My thoughts so far; subject to change. Thread Of The Year 2010 – No Rhyme, No Reason, One Picture per Post. Can't believe this thread is only a year old, it's like part of the furniture. Car Of The Year 2010 - TBA RR Build Thread of The Year 2010 - Hard to to pick out of these three so far: yoeddynz's The Hino Housetruckor mirafioriman's FIAT 130 threador hairymel's Sunbeam no. 294Most Anticipated RR Car 2011 - MIBs TWR 335i. The King-elect of E21s? Website Of The Year 2010 – Gasser Madness or KustomramaBest Blog 2010 – I don’t follow many as a lot are overly pretentious, but this historic BMW thread is always a good read. Best Photo 2010 – TBA, will probably be impossible to pare down to one. RR Photographer Of The Year 2010 - svt2888 by a country mile, his Cars & Coffee pics are awesome. Someone who I aspire to be, photographically. Show Of The Year 2010 – Chelsea Auto Legends. I still dribble thinking about it now.   Forum Person Of The Year 2010 – Dbizzle. Not bad for a Dragoon… Best Magazine 2010 - Car Craft. An American PPC without a chip on it’s shoulder. Readers Other Modification 2010 – The oft-overlooked Scale Model Thread. Small Talk for the digital age. |

Thread Of The Year 2010 No rhyme, no reason. Some utterly inspiring stuff on here. Car Of The Year 2010 I'll come back toy you on this... RR Build Thread of The Year 2010 Yoeddynz Hino house-truck. I want to win the lottery and commission him to build one for me. Most Anticipated RR Car 2011 My Zodiac? No? Ok, I'll go with Benzboy's stack-light Merc, although 2011 may be a bit keen.  Website Of The Year 2010 I'm going to say www.ffffound.com. It's not strictly a car site, BUT once you get into the car stuff it's a phenomenal world of amazing photography and car-based art. Best Blog 2010 don't do blogs, a resolution for 2011 methinks. I've had a look, and I have to say I'm quite fond of www.sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com It's witty, informative and thought out. three things that I'm not, as such, it gets my vote. Best Photo 2010 I'll have a good look around... RR Photographer Of The Year 2010 Butterz. Lots of images this year and every one he has captured are artistic, atmospheric and inspiring. Show Of The Year 2010 Classic Motor Show Forum Person Of The Year 2010 KFW - All round hero and tat-hauling superstar who would do anything to help anyone. Best Magazine 2010 Practical Classics Readers Other Modification 2010 Jonny69's random thread of creations. The man needs fuzzy hair and a lab coat. Chris

Having a rubbish memory for such things makes this a bit tricky. I'll try and come back adn fill in the gaps. Thread Of The Year 2010Car Of The Year 2010 I think the car that really took my breath away was the Maserati A6GCS at Goodwood but I don't really think it should be nominated here. I'll go for Al's Tolomite/Doledo. It is everything I think this place is about.  Photo by MMRR Build Thread of The Year 2010 ditchdigger's Fiat 850 - Every update has great, well finished, home brew engineering. Most Anticipated RR Car 2011 Hardly a car but I'm really hoping frankenhealey gets on with the Green Goddess Transporter in super quick time. Website Of The Year 2010 The autoshite forum continues to amuse and inform. Best Blog 2010 Seems like yesterday… which I'm pretty sure Samm linked to at some point. Some incredible photos of all sorts, mostly vehicles. Best Photo 2010 thinking cap required! RR Photographer Of The Year 2010Show Of The Year 2010 Crystal Palace Racing. A great revival at a historic venue that ran so smoothly. Forum Person Of The Year 2010 Amazo - Lots of good forum content. Any thread he starts always has good stuff to read/see. Best Magazine 2010 Classic and Sports Car Readers Other Modification 2010 I don't think Retrowagen's boat has had a mention yet and it is a very cool little thing. PS Thanks for Noms... |

There are many nominations I agree with already so I'll try and just add where I see things differently. Thread Of The Year 2010: The Daft Question Amnesty. Knowledge sharing is good. Car Of The Year 2010RR Build Thread of The Year 2010: I know it's been nominated, but just to make sure, Yoeddynz's housetruck Most Anticipated RR Car 2011: Dez's Model A rod.  I'm pretty sure I nominated it last year, thus it is now even more hotly anticipated ;D (No pressure Dez...) Website Of The Year 2010: Have you had a go on that Facebook? It's the new Myspace, I'm telling you. Best Blog 2010: sucksqueezebangblow. It's like all the cool threads that dbizzle starts, but in one place. Best Photo 2010RR Photographer Of The Year 2010: This year I have very much been enjoying Mystery Machine's photography. His photos of the Brean Sands meet are nearly enough to make me nominate it as show of the year, even though I wasn't there. Show Of The Year 2010: Erm, I only made it to local shows this year, and I don't imagine the Aveton Gifford Classic Car Show or the Brixham Steam Fair will garner many votes so I'll leave that. Forum Person Of The Year 2010: Sammmmmmmm. The man is a cool thread-starting machine. Best Magazine 2010: Custom Car. It's got better month-on-month this year; I also like the way they're not burying their head in the sand about BIVA. Readers Other Modification 2010: Has the Grizz-pod had a mention yet?  The care, effort and sheer ingenuity put into it to reuse so much stuff is amazing. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Firstly like to say that I've not paid much attention to the forum this year other than lingering in Readers Other Modifications. That means my nominations are shamefully thin on the ground. I promise to try harder next year Thread Of The Year 2010 - Dez's budget hotrod build. I think it's inspired a lot of people on here. Car Of The Year 2010 - I think it has to be Seth's wagon. It's a simple car on a budget, comes from a non-scene background, not pretentious, it's used and, most importantly, anyone on here could build something like it. True inspiration. RR Build Thread of The Year 2010Most Anticipated RR Car 2011Website Of The Year 2010 - Might have to be that Russian forum with all the cool Soviet stuff. I'll be damned if I can find it though. That place was a goldmine. Best Blog 2010Best Photo 2010RR Photographer Of The Year 2010Show Of The Year 2010 - Goodwood Revival. It's not a cheap day out by any stretch of the imagination but it sure is my new favourite. Forum Person Of The Year 2010Best Magazine 2010Readers Other Modification 2010 - Grizz's pod. I still regret not following the thread at the time. What an epic journey. |
