Bottom post of the previous page:

1. Funniest Forum Member - There are a few but probably @White six He has a bent SOH that seems to click with mine :haha:

2. Best Signature Line - @Star for her "I am woman" line. I have to say I really dont look at the sigs(no recall anyway). Maybe I should

3. Best Avatar - @John. A picture I have always liked long before John arrived at TFL

4. Most Respected Member - @erwin greven for his forum wide quality contributions and information, video stream links etc

5. Rookie Of The Year - Well a number of those I thought were rookies when I checked are into 2 years, but of the most notable in the under 1 year stakes..... Starling came and went, @Aty is borderline (just over) a year, has been a good contributor in F1 and whose opinions I dont always share, (no foul there) and @Julif has been a solid contributor in the crash topics....
but @Down Force gets my vote.... and we seem to agree on most things.

6. Most Missed Member - @Seppi. Been a long time, I have lost touch but I miss his great and learned contributions. I hope he is well. Hi Rob (We worked out from photos taken we camped and stood (unknowingly at the time) in the same areas with our camera bags at venues like Brands as teens back in the early seventies. We even learned (here) we used to own the same make Camera and used the same tricks to get into restricted areas (over the bridge on the inside of Druids) Miss you Rob. :mates:

7. Forum Treasure - @Star Super friendly non controversial well informed all round good person.

8. Best Thread - Too many I enjoy so to break out any one, from GP discussions to Nostaligia, so Im going to go with the @Goody's 300 thread for the hell of it and because it is unique.

9. Special Award - Has to be @PTRACER, without whom we wouldnt have our little community. (But you are all special in your own way. :haha: )
