Let’s keep it going folks!
We’re going to run with the theme of Competition 14, and try and visualize the next generation of an iconic sports car.
Yasiu wants us to think about the Mazda RX-7:
… and we shan’t disappoint. GOT IT?! 
Deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 23rd!
Good luck, folks!
We are rolling towards the end of the year in what is now the 11th month of the year. For this month, I thought we would go with a smokey finish with the theme being drift shots! As we slide closer to 2011 your job is to find a picture of a car drifting. When making your selection make it apparent that the vehicle is indeed sliding with its tail out and wheels on opposite lock. There is a difference between burnouts, plowing in a corner, 4 wheel slides and drifting. Don’t be "smart" about it, enter appropriately. Keep to cars gents.

I have also decided to post how many wins each of the top 10 entrants have received in 2010 and also how many months they did not enter so far in 2010.

As always, good luck, take your time choosing a winner, and suggestions for future POTMs are always welcome. If you have questions (especially in regards to eligibility) PM me before entering!
Member voting will be the usual:
Vote 2 for your first choice, and 1 for your second.
The Poll is for non members, in case of a tie… not lazy voters!
The winner of Design Competition 13 will have choice for Design Competition 15.
Good luck to all contestants!
We’ve arrived to October, the 10th and one of the most transitory months of the year. It marks the beginning of fall most visually, as tree leaves change color and fall to the ground signifying the doldrums of winter are not far away! So for POTM October, you are to submit a shot, with a car, in a fall foliage setting. To meet this requirement, you must have fall in the shot. Its pretty self explanatory, get a shot with some trees changing their color and/or leaves that have been shed on the ground showing the classic signs of Autumn.
-Good luck to everyone
-Vote using the 2-1 method
-Photos are uploaded to my gallery for viewing at any time.
-Correct me if I made a mistake.

I won’t be competing in this competition, as I will be hosting a demonstration on skills and techniques in teXas’ Tutorial Thread .
Due date is Tuesday, November 2nd!!!
Good luck folks!
The premise of the competition was to bring a new language or angle to Aston Martin. As we’ve come to discover, it ain’t that easy!
Member voting will be the usual:
Vote 2 for your first choice, and 1 for your second.
The Poll is for non members, in case of a tie… not lazy voters!
The winner of Design Competition 13 will have choice for Design Competition 14.

**** yeah!!! Sporting a 13.6 liter, 7500 horsepower V71, the Aston Martin DB Vanquish will do 0-60 in 3/4 of a second and on to a top speed of JUST shy of 400 miles per hour. and it’ll pull a 3 g corner on those 24′s |

I came with idea of 1200kg-1300kg 2 seater, with mixed retro and moddern styling but doh… that didn’t work. The concept looked crappy. |

Hellz yeah! MS PAINT FTW! 4.5 Liter V8 making 400 hp at 7500 rpms |

Just to mess with you, a teaser Aston Martin style… I have more than that, but I really want to make it Aston Martin style… |

So, ehh, my first attempt at drawing a car. Howzabouthat? In reality, the grille shouldn’t be so big, the wheels should be spokes, it would be the size of a Boxster, and the boattail would be AWESOME. Powered by a small supercharged V8, it’d compete with, like all Astons, nothing. Equate it to an extremely luxurious droptop 6/8th’s scale Mustang and you’re close. Unlike the ‘Stang, it’d have independent suspension, and it’d handle well–not as well as a Boxster, but close, and much quieter and more comfortable. |

clutch

RWD with a 608 horsepower 6 liter V8 up front. Full trim luxury interior, use of composites for body and an aluminum chassis keeps weight at 3400 lb. 7 Speed manumatic allows for acceleration numbers to 60 at 3.85 seconds. MSRP: $188,000 USD. |

teXas

I call it the DBC I guess… it’s a front-mid 500hp supercharged V8 powered 4 seat aluminum chassis coupe… not 2+2. RWD is standard; awd is optional. Transmission choices are limited to 6 speed manual, and paddle shift sequential. At a starting MSRP of $110,000, the DBC is designed to compete with the BMW M6 and Jaguar XKR. |
Good luck to all contestants!
