Calendar 2014 picture selection, VOTE HERE!!! (until 15th of September) Options

[malpaso]

It is here. The voting. I do not want to make the same mistake as last year so will making voting public. I wanted from everyone who wanted to vote to pick 12 pictures from the list. Not less. Not more. Sadly there were people voting just for one or two cars and ignored effort of others. I know it is not easy to pick 12 (so in fact eliminate 8 nice pictures from 20). So I made decision to give chance to two groups of people.

a) I picked my favorite 12 pictures (you can find them on the bottom of this post). If you like my selection OR you just want your calendar (no matter what car is used) vote for DEFAULT. Default vote gives one vote to each car in "default selection".

b) YOU want to pick your own 12 favorite pictures. Vote for OWN SELECTION and post your 12 favorite nick names in this topic (just writing 12 nick names is fine). Own selection vote gives also one vote to each car in your selection.

- Voting ends on 15th of September 2013 (so in two weeks)
- All votes for all entries will be counted together the winner list will be created.

NOTE: after I saw whole group of pictures I just can not help my self but see as bit better calendar cover picture from IfWeChoose not the originally mentioned one from Tigawoods.

So you can mention this in your own selection posts as well (keep cover original OR nominate new one)

This way everyone can check results, everyone can see progress of voting. Below you can see all 20 pictures I received in high resolution = below are all only valid subscribers for voting:

I understand everything your saying, and it is a little confusing with the two options to choose. An it seems some people have chosen your default/whatever you choose, than suffered in here to change the cover.

I think a simple poll like COTM/last year, with all entries would have worked a little better. Sure not everyone would have voted for 12, but if every one at least voted for 2-3 cars, there would still be an outstanding 12 cars.

I say move on from this, but its settled that Tigawoods cover should remain.
I've agreed/helped you out in previous years, so I support whatever decision you choose to make.
Whatever is easier, so we all actually GET a calendar at all

Mate... COTM voting works just because request is "pick one" and you are looking for one winner. Now I want "pick 12" because am not afraid about "top end of the list" but about the bottom. That means when people make vote just to 2-3 cars there will be half cars with dozens of votes and half with one or two. And that is the point. Result of votes will be like: 35,30,25,24,12,5,6,4,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1. Just because people selected "top" and had no care about the "bottom"?

That is why my aim was to make that effort at least my self. Pick 12. Share and:
a) let people just follow (because their preferred 2-3 cars are in my selection anyway and they do not care about the rest).
b) give chance to those who want and make the same effort to create own selection.
Everyone should be happy.
