Very cool Dave.


If what you shown on these forums is your 'normal' level of enthusiasm that you've brung to FFR's family for the last 15 years, I'm really looking forward to joining it with my 818.

Very nice Dave and very needed as there have been some very special entries that for one reason or another will not be used but still deserve recognition.

Thanks for creating this opportunity - the ride has been fun.

It's great to see that you are putting a lot of thought into this contest. The entries so far have been pretty similar looking for the most part, most of them seem to borrow too much from either the 458 Italia or Porsche 918. Hopefully these additional prizes will encourage people to submit some more original ideas. It seems like you have assembled a great panel of judges who can each offer a unique perspective. I'm looking forward to seeing the winning design and also the reasons it was chosen at the open house in June.

There is no such thing as borrowing too much from the Porsche 918. Sincerest form of flattery that is well deserved.

..But Dave, what are we going to call it?
