January 2021 COTM **Voting Thread** - Redemption!

It's the annual "Redemption" event where 2nd place contestants from the last year get another run at glory. Links are provided to the original voting threads where each car was featured with photos and stories.

Voting is always unpredictable in these 12 car groups. The only way to find out who wins is to just let it run and see what happens! Good luck to all!

So who's going to give out the Participation Awards this year?

I'm going to be disappointed if there is no "I Am Speachless" Award. It's like the best one ever!

It's a real testament to the quality of the cars here on TGO that these cars did not win in their respective months. What a great looking bunch of cars!

Re: January 2021 COTM **Voting Thread** - Redemption!

I gotta vote for RedmaroZ on this one. ProTouring cars are what I enjoy. He lost to Val that month but beat me in the voting, so that's a well deserved vote from me for RedmaroZ

Too many lovely choices to choose from! FWIW, Blasius no longer owns that gorgeous '82 T/A. I'm gonna have to give my vote to Bob's '88 GTA. Man, I love those cars!

Re: January 2021 COTM **Voting Thread** - Redemption!

Yes, you're right. I guess you got rid of the senile guy just in time.

Although, I will say I sent a PM to all the contestants before this thread was created. One guy got back to me and said the car was sold. That helped me to substitute somebody else. It sure would have been fun for others if all the contestants gave me a little help that way.

Re: January 2021 COTM **Voting Thread** - Redemption!

This was clearly a great COTM competition with each choice being a fantastic example of third gen excellence.

To break the tie, I think it is only fair since Bob88GTA had already been the winner in March, that redmaroz is crowned the winner for January 2021!
