mkirby Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Surely best in show would be more prestigious than best toyota? Why on earth would they say you would have won but we already gave you a prize.... even though its a lesser one? Sounds like they were pulling your chain bud. Well done though to be fair they said the same to the 300zx owner, he wanted to win the show and shine and they said he couldnt win it??

original_amo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Every person who won from there category was told on the spot. And then told to come collect there prize at 8pm. Best in show was told at 8.30 and pick in the end. Judges said they were sorry but they couldt hand out 2 prizes to the same person Ps best in show didt have half the leather in his car, but hey you win some and lose some I'm not dissatisfied at all ;-) Surely best in show would be more prestigious than best toyota? Why on earth would they say you would have won but we already gave you a prize.... even though its a lesser one? Sounds like they were pulling your chain bud.

Best in show was told at 8.30 and pick in the end. Judges said they were sorry but they couldt hand out 2 prizes to the same person So why not give the best prize in the show to the best car in the show and give the 2nd best prize in the show to the 2nd best car in the show? Still doesn't make sense. In fact its completely the opposite way round from where it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 if there was a prize for each manufacturer then surely the winner of the overall prize should have been picked out of them winners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
original_amo Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I understand what your saying I said the same thing. Best Toyota etc was picked beetween 10 and 5 best on show was picked last but they couldt give 2 awards to the same person therefore had to pick another car as every one who won there category was all ready told.

Bingo The best car in show was a nissan but it wasn't the best nissan in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but that's not the way these things have ever worked in the past. Cars good enough to win the 'best Toyota' award should be eligible for 'best in show'. The fact that that's not the case shows either a dodgy sponsorship deal with the winner, a lack of understanding of how a car show awards ceremony works or a fundamental issue with the way the show is judged.
