What GtiGlasgow Had To Say
I was extremely surprised to note that my car had been nominated for
COTM. The fact that it received 4 nominations was amazing. Given the
quality of cars on this forum and the fact that I was initially slated
for fitting the Schmidt wheels, I am stunned that my car has won. Both
Pat and Rob have fantastic cars and would have been worthy winners. I
would like to thank everyone who voted for me and in particular
CraigGSI, Daflyingfinn, Pat and AndyK for nominating me in the first
place - cheers guys!!
