Congratulations to Big_Chap who's white Nova GSi has been voted by PNG members as the official PNG Car Of The Year for 2009.
Mark's GSi was entered into a poll along with the eleven other cars from the previous featured Car Of The Month threads that were all hosted in 2009. In January, all twelve feature cars were assembled into one poll for the overall Car Of The Year, where it secured a clear victory with almost 3 times the vote count of the runner up!
Below is a copy of his winning 2009 feature, as originally hosted in June. You can also find a complete build thread here with up-to-date pictures and build progress.
In January 2010, Mark's car was also featured in Total Vauxhall magazine (obviously they were influenced by PNG opinion!!) - to see a few of the professional pics taken as part of this accolade, see here.
Again, well done to Mark on a well deserved win!
