Default Just Cars Auto Legend - our own nominee

I happened to be browsing the internet when I came across this...

http://www.justauto.com.au/blogs/Rus...d-9e8c2048f6fe

It would appear that our very own Russellw has been nominated as a Just Cars Auto Legend.

Please show your support for Russell, who has dedicated so much time to making this place. the fantastic site it is to visit and learn from.

All you have to do is post a comment on the blog and share with your friends!

Good luck Russ...You have my support 100%

Cheers
Col

(Don't kill me Russ...I know you are not one to blow your own horn, so I thought I would give it a big TOOT for ya!)

Thanks Colleen. It is great to see Russell and the AFF get recognition on this level and times like this mean a lot to him despite him being a bit coy and overly modest. Had a number of my FB friends like it which I believe counts as a vote so thanks to all that have jumped on-board to support.

I believe if Russell wins anything he is donating the prizes back to the AFF for a Charity Auction.

Cheers
Gaela

Typical of Russ to donate anything he wins back to the AFF Community. If it was me...I wouldn't...

And I believe you are correct Gaela, people who click LIKE, or share the link, counts towards who is judged the winner. You don't have to have facebook either.

Just register with Just Cars and you can click the LIKE button that way

Cheers
Col

I see that Russ has cracked over 100 "LIKES"

I am sure as a forum, we can improve on that

Just to add to his glory (he has had a week of it despite being so coy!) our Russell has won the 2011 Musac Awards in Europe!

Is this where I mention that I've also been nominated? That makes two Forum members.

There is still time for people to cast your likes in this. Get behind it! Get your friends behind it!

C'mon guys! Surely you would love to see someone who is passionate about Fords take out the number 1 spot? I know I would!

Sadly, Holden owners, drivers etc are showing more support when it comes to one of their own....

For a forum of this size...surely we can kick some butt!!

Cheers
Col
