I've asked GirlySports about this, but since the draft is still going I'm going to pick anyways, and deal with the problems later if it doesn't work.

In the North American category, I'm taking the Mosler MT900 GTR XX, which, ironically, is only for sale in Europe and UAE.

In a bit of a dilemma for my other pick, so keep on going.

Alrighty, had a tough time picking my next car but I'll go with the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 and I'll put that into the European category.

hey guys, Was away golfing yesterday.. For my next pick i will go to the 80's and select the C4 Corvette,

My dad had an 86 I was 11 years old and in love with that car. we would clean it up and take it for runs every weekend. It was red with a black interior. I will never forget that car. Infact thinking about it now i may ask my dad who he sold it to and see if i can track it down and buy it back.

Pretty sad. It's been over 48 hours without a pick.

I think it is safe to say the Justin is AKed and we can move on without him.

In the British Category I'm going to take a different approach to what a great car means and take the Series II Land Rover. There are tons of drop dead gorgeous, fast cars in the pool already. But in terms of what a great British car is the Rover is in a class of its own. This video says it all.

This happens with every draft. Even the original hottie draft bogged down.

Looking at images of the two cars side by side, I'd say yes, they're clearly the same car.

I don't know, this is a tough one too... Because it's the exact same car but from different companies, different companies being the big thing here...

It's kinda picking picking between an Acura CSX and a Honda Civic (new gen) or a Cavalier and a Sunfire... (not that anybody should be picking these cars in the draft by any means)

With our next pick (I think its the 13th round), Lemelin's Lemmings will select, in the 50's category, the original Ford Thunderbird.

This was a tough pick as there are alot of great cars from the 50's, but I think the T-Bird is definitely one of the coolest. I saw someone driving around in one of these the other day and I was sold on its awesomeness. Wouldn't get much better the cruising around in a T-Bird on a nice summer day.

Some details on the car can be found here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-g...rd_Thunderbird

And here are some pictures...





A link to some more picture of this incredible red T-Bird...

Ok.. re-picked my last pick. I don't think the Caterham and Lotus are different enough.

The last pick of round 13. STeeLy, the owner of team Not Rice B!tch, being a owner of a Mazda is proud to take the Mazdaspeed Miata NB (1999-2005) into the Convertible category.

In the 14th round, Lemelin's Lemmings selects the Infiniti Essence. This car will be parked in our Concept stall.

This car was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show and is a celebration of Infiniti's 20th year. This hybrid combines a twin-turbo 3.7L V6 engine with an electric motor to produce 592 horsepower and an estimated 800 lb-ft of torque.

The incredible styling doesn't end with the exterior and cockpit... the car is even fitted with custom Louis Vuitton luggage.

Here are a few reviews...

And a few pictures...
