Okay Ted, how about this...

Every year you have the Pistonhead Awards. Nominations have to be made in each category, and you can't nominate yourself. You (Ted) would then pick the top five nominees in each category and let people vote for a winner, using a simple web button voting system.

Categories can be: 'most amusing pistonheader'; 'most amusing post'; 'strangest post' etc. etc.

Then, with you as arbiter, the winners are announced - they could even get a small prize (Leven bits etc?) as I'm sure sponsors will want banner ads on the voting pages. Runners up get your famous stickers, baseball hats, duvet and alarm clock sets, or whatever.

I'm sure the pistonheaders would also donate prizes - round of golf, bottle of whiskey, and so on. How about 'The bennno prize for being binned the most'! Winner gets... you guessed it... a pedal bin. Sponsored by bennno, of course.

There could even be a special bash, held at your local village hall or Harvester, where pistonheaders pay 25 quid for a ticket, the Porker and TVR owners can throw suasage rolls at each other, and the winners are announced. Everyone has a bit to drink, before romantically launching themselves at Penny Mallory, who has (of course) been invited to speak as a special guest.

Wotcha reckon?

Domster,

I have driven a Lada Samosa before and it didn't knock me out at all - it wasn't even yellow.

I would be pleased to attend the awards ceremony if it doesn't clash with my new rally superstar career.

I will even vote for the most amusing split personality award - I think I know who already.

Love,
Puny xx

Well, I've got my hands full with technical stuff at the moment but I'll try to sort something along those lines later in the year.

I'm sure plenty of us would like to attend the awards ceremony.

Perhaps we could take the TVR vs. Porsche bunfight a step further - for those who just won't let the matter lie - with some Gladiator/It's a Knockout style team battles? Baguette jousting tournaments? Could provide good entertainment for the rest of us.

And the buffet could have themed dishes... finger- follower rolls, vol-air-vents etc.

I'll get my coat...
