Or trade a car for another car etc...There is no trade deadline however there will be no trades allowed after the very last pick.

Make use of PMs and the chatroom to negotiate.

Team names: you are welcome to PM me your team name and I'll add it to the draft board.

What continent a country belongs to?
We are using FIFA rules so for example Turkey and Israel belong to Europe. Borat is also European. The only exception to this rule is Australia.
Australia IS NOT IN ASIA.

--


When you are selecting please state in BOLD letters who you are selecting and in what category.



example: With the 1st overall pick of the draft, GirlySport's In-Box selects bicycle in the Asian category.



You are welcome to post 1 or 2 nice and CLEAN and not too big pictures of your selection.
If you have a link to a NSFW picture please say so.



And you can use a paragraph to state your case of why you made this selection.

That's pretty much it. Any questions you can ask in here or PM me...
Please be patient as people are not always checking this forum (especially on weekends).

If you can't make your selection for a long period of time let everyone know. If you can't continue also let me know and hopefully we can find a replacement.

Also, if you are away for a period of time, you can send me a list of 3-5 picks and I will draft for you.

I have yet to see a picture of a chick with a car that is NSFW

I was also referring to objective... (Maybe we can have a draft combining the hottest women with the hottest car.

[GirlySports]

Just makin' sure every reads the rules

[SebC]

With the #1 selection in the CP Car Draft, I select the Bugatti Veyron (wikipedia info here). Surprise, surprise... Simply, it's the most outrageous car in the world. 8.0L quad turbocharged W16 engine gives it 1001 hp, which the all-wheel drive system uses to get 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-100 in 5.2, 0-150 in 8.6, and finishes the quarter mile in 10 seconds on the way up to a top speed of 253.8 mph. That's 408.5 kph. Good stuff.



Edit: forgot to mention category. Let's go with coupe... for now. Doesn't really matter at this point.

[GirlySports]

I'm going to AK driveway, he hasn't been on since Saturday.

[psycho_demonata]

Okay, first pick, this may seem weird cuz its a movie car but technically it can kick any other car's butt, sure the other cars are lovely as well. But yes this got a batpod build in, explosives, speed and well it'll run and go through anything. I pick Batman's Tumbler!! lol

[TimSJ]

With our first overall pick i will select the car that started everything.

The Mercedes patended 3 wheel motorwagen in the Pre-war Category

After developing a successful gasoline-powered two-stroke piston engine in 1873, Benz focused on developing a motorized vehicle while maintaining a career as a designer and manufacturer of stationary engines and their associated parts.
The Benz Patent Motorwagen was a three-wheeled automobile with a rear-mounted engine. The vehicle contained many new inventions. It was constructed of steel tubing with woodwork panels. The steel-spoked wheels and solid rubber tires were Benz's own design. Steering was by way of a toothed rack that pivoted the unsprung front wheel. Fully-elliptic springs were used at the back along with a live axle and chain drive on both sides. A simple belt system served as a single-speed transmission, varying torque between an open disc and drive disc.





Working replica of the 1885 Benz Motorwagen in Frankfurt, 2007


The first Motorwagen used the Benz 954 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine. This new engine produced ⅔ hp (½ kW) at 250 rpm in the Patent Motorwagen, although later tests by the University of Mannheim showed it to be capable of .9 hp (0.7 kW) at 400 rpm. It was an extremely light engine for the time, weighing about 100 kg (220 lb). Although its open crankcase and drip oiling system would be alien to a modern mechanic, its use of a pushrod-operated poppet valve for exhaust would be quite familiar. A large horizontal flywheel stabilized the single-cylinder engine's power output. An evaporative carburettor was controlled by a sleeve valve to regulate power and engine speed.
Benz later built more models of the Motorwagen, model number 2 boasting 1.5 hp (1.1 kW), and model number 3 with 2 hp (1.5 kW), allowing the vehicle to reach a maximum speed of approximately 10 miles per hour (16 km/h). The chassis was improved in 1887 with the introduction of wooden-spoke wheels, a fuel tank, and a manual leather shoe brake on the rear wheels

Sorry for being AK'd on the first round... here's my pick:

In the Category of 50's Car Team Custom Carb selects:



The 1958 Corvette

Up to 270 hp with a tachometer which revved to 8,000 rpms the 58 'vette is the pinnacle of two-toned cars.

Sorry Bugatti, too little, too late.

[TimSJ]

both beautiful cars to be sure.. I would have a hard time picking

[3 Justin 3]

With the our 1st overall pick in the draft, Koenigferrarilamboseggviking, picks in the Convertible category, the Koenigsegg CCX.




For those unaware, the roof does come off and it becomes a convertible.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

^Those pics used to look an awful lot like a Corvette.

[STeeLy]

edit: pictures changed

[3 Justin 3]

My pictures!! NOO

Ok, they should be changed. Phew

[TimSJ]

hell of a car but I would say it is more of a targa than a convertable

[TimSJ]

Exotic would be something like a CCX.. rare not something that is seen in everyday life generally expensive/exclusive. at least that is what i would take an exotic to be

I would have to agree that calling this car a convertible is pushing the envelope, but maybe that is just my jealousy coming out.

Very nice car. I definitely had it on my list; just not in the convertible category.
