With all the AK's right now it's

psyco_D,TimSJ,Fozzie,Arsenal,Lemming and Steely picking in a circle

[FanIn80]

Yikes. I can't believe that the single greatest car in the history of this planet didn't get picked until the 13th round...

[TimSJ]

Starting to run out of categories to fill.. So i guess i will go to the Asian one. This is the toughest one for me. Not a huge fan of cars from Asia. More of a European guy. i must be missing something this car msut have been picked and if it has i will come up with something else.

So i will Select the Mitsubishi EVO X

[GirlySports]

Similar to the Historical Draft, I've added a 24-hour clock in the title as the deadline for the next pick.

This draft has a 15-hour time limit.

I'm with you Tim; not much on the Asian front that interests me at this point. I'm pretty sure you are good with the EVO X as it was still on my list. I think it is a pretty solid pick at this point of the draft. Luckily I've got a back up plan for the Asian category that I think is a bit of sleeper.

Meh... I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.

[Fozzie_DeBear]

In the 1960's category Fozzie takes the 1964 Shelby Daytona

[driveway]

Okay, I'm back and gonna make two pics as, I think that's okay based on the AK's.

in round whichever, team Custom Carb selects, in the Category of Pre War




1930 Packard 734 Speedster.

I dunno much about it other than there are 26 of them still in existence and they are sweeeet lookin cars.

And in the subsequent round, I take, in the category of 1960's car:



The Austin Mini Cooper S

[arsenal]

Guess it's my turn.. I think. By the way.. changed my Ferrari 458 to concept.
I looked, searched, and I am pretty sure this has not been picked yet.
So for my convertible, I am going to select the Honda S2000.

[STeeLy]

With the last pick of Round 15... Not Rice B!tch powers up the engines of the Batmobile and drive it to the Movie Category.

[psycho_demonata]

YES! the batmobile <3 <3

[STeeLy]

And with the first pick of round 16 Not Rice B!tch will race the Porsche 961 in the 1980s

[arsenal]

Guess it's my turn again.. so for my coupe selection, I am going to select the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

[the lemming]

Man, I guess I was too distracted by Patrick "20 Cent" Kane over the weekend and missed a couple of my picks.

I can't believe that both the Evo X and S2000 went on me. Oh well. I'll get my 15th and 16th picks up here right away.

[the lemming]

In honour of the late great John Hughes, Lemelin's Lemmings are proud to select with their 15th pick in the CP car draft... the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation in the Movie category.



Any car that can nearly get Clark Griswold some sexy time with Christie Brinkley is cool in my books. This car also carries over the theme of my 80's car selection, the Ferrari 308, driven by Ms. Brinkley.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...n%27s_Vacation

The screenplay was written by John Hughes, based on his short story in National Lampoon Magazine, Vacation '58 (the screenplay changes the year to 1983). The original story is (reportedly) a fictionalized account of his own family's ill-fated trip to Disneyland (changed to Walley World for the film) when Hughes was a boy. The success of the movie helped launch his screenwriting career.

And now for a totally awesome video clip...

[Fozzie_DeBear]

We're flying now...

In the coupe category Fozzie picks the first 'mass' produced V6 in the 1958 Lancia Aurelia

Sweet car

[TimSJ]

^ very nice.

For my next to last selection i will go to the Movie Car arena and select the ECTO-1 Ghostbuster mobile.

[psycho_demonata]

I repicked my car in post 425

http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showpos...&postcount=425

Since it was considered a concept car, I'll just repick a different car in the same category (80s).

[the lemming]

Sorry guys, I ran into a little problem yesterday as the car a planned to use as my exotic isn't in production yet. Work has been kind of busy so I haven't had any luck trying to find an alternative yet so I will just make a different pick.

With our 16th selection in the CP Car Draft, Lemelin's Lemmings are please to select in the Race Car category... the Lotus 79.









http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_79

It is considered by many the most significant and respected racing car design of all time... Nicknamed 'Black Beauty' by the press and F1 fans alike, for its graceful design and sleek profile and its black and gold livery through sponsorship by John Player Special cigarettes, the Lotus 79 was instantly competitive...

The Lotus 79 dominated the 1978 Formula One season winning the constructor's championship and giving Mario Andretti his only driver's title in Formula One.

All that is great but the real reason I chose this car is because I vividly remember playing with a toy one of them as a kid and thinking it was the coolest car.
