Welcome, one and all, to the latest County Heaven Anthology: C.H.E.A.P. (County Heaven’s Encyclopedia of Automotive Perfection)!
Yes, it’s been a while since the last one, but having already conquered the A-Z worlds of County players (both good and bad), footballing anecdotes and random clubs, film, music and… erm…. evil, we now turn our attention to cars!
Quite simply, we’re looking to compile an A-Z of not necessarily the most impressive automobiles ever, but those which are/were, for whatever reason, iconic – whether through beauty, innovation, uniqueness, achievement, their association with film and TV, or simply because we loved their quirkiness.
Each week, a Heavener will nominate three cars beginning with their randomly-allocated letter, and it is up to the rest of us to vote on our favourite – or suggest an alternative. It might be your first car, your current car, or your dream car: just tell us why you love it.
At the end of the week, whichever car has the most votes will be entered into our automobile anthology – or, in the event of a tie, members will be asked to re-vote on just those cars involved.
I’ll start us off in Week A, so everyone has an idea of what to expect, and then I’ll let you know when your letter is coming up, to give you time to prepare your nominations (and can help if necessary). We aren’t looking for a short novel, just a hundred words or so, as to why you feel each of the three cars in your list deserve consideration (of course, you can go into more detail if you really want!).
If you would like to take part, let me know in the thread below. I suspect we’ll gather twelve Heaveners plus me, to cover the alphabet, although early indications suggest we may struggle with Week X, so it may be that I only do Week A if we have enough numbers, so everyone else can have two goes.
Cheers!
