Special Announcement

The Bad News: Unfortunately, there will be no special prize from TWM Performance this month. TWM Performance has ignored our original agreement and can no longer be trusted. As of today, TWM Performance is NOT authorized to conduct business on Mazdas247 in any way, shape or form. Please keep this thread on topic by NOT mentioning TWM.

The Good News: First of all, I feel terrible that there won't be a special prize as originally promised and I apologize for this unfortunate situation. That said, Mazdas247 is a Community and hopefully we can pull our resources together and present a new universal Special Prize! On that note...Member, Perro del Sol has informed me that he MIGHT be able to get a new Special Prize from one of his many contacts.

It would be great if we could still have a universal prize to offer the winner, please PM ME directly if you would like to offer a special prize! All Vendors who offer a special prize will be proudly mentioned in all of the August 2012 Mazda of the Month threads...Thank you!
​

Prize Update!

Member, Perro del Sol has already come through with a New Prize...The Winner will receive...

Because the voting just started and I believe nwmotiv was unaware of this rule...I'm going to reset nwmotiv's votes to 0 until tomorrow provided he removes all self-promotion or changes it to GENERAL "Vote for the MOTM". Keep in mind that votes are only counted from Members with at least 100 posts.

* Update: nwmotiv was unaware of the rule and has now removed his self-promotion posts. Thanks to nwmotiv for his cooperation! (thumb)

[Cleverfrog]

damn, no love...

looks like it really is time to move on to bigger & better things

maybe better pictures?

 

[fatti03msp]

ya better pictures help, to me that has big part in who i vote for.

winner is put in a calender, so a pictures of the interior with a pop can and garbage on the floor loses my vote.

Tools all threw out the engine bay for the engine bay shot is a minus imo too

just how i feel about the pictures submitted.

 

[Antoine]

As with anything, the more effort you put into your entry...The better your chances will be and the more likely voters will appreciate your Mazda. Showing your best pics possible also shows that you really care about your Mazda and what you've done to it...Winning aside, it's simply a great way to showcase your Mazda and inspire other Mazda owners to take their rides to the next level!
