Poor @GranTurismo916 is working overtime!

She says posting another nomination.
Nah, I stopped doing them for a bit but I could still do some more. I've gone all the way down to the ones that won't be posted for 2 months.

In fact, I should go do some right now. :sly:
That backlog, my lord. I think we need 3 threads/day...
That would just create controversy unfortunately.
 
Are you interested in helping the GTPlanet Cool Wall effort, making the experience better for everyone? Do you know the basics of Microsoft Excel? Are you willing to do something which won't be the most fun, but isn't too difficult?

If the answer is Yes to all of these questions, feel free to leave a message on my wall, and I'll give you more information.

Ehhh, no. I suppose it's better than re-polling the P400. But that Vignale Gamine behind it is more deserving of a nomination.


Expect complaints once the S fails to top the board next year.

The previous poll specifically and explicitly polled the Lamborghini Miura P400 as opposed to the P400S or the P400SV. We've had countless Mustangs polled to which the same complaint could be levied, and as I said, I'm not doing this to be easy.
