CARHUNTER had a good run then I got off the track!
The link above explains the Ridler Award
My approach to the choice is the winner has to be something that catches your attention from across the display area!
I want to repeat I am not there so it has just become an internet observance and some fun!
This is where I picked up the 1st view of the BASF Great 8 with only one being the winner of the Ridler Award for 2020

Like I said my pick always is my 1st impression so I have narrowed it down to 3 in order that I will try to thin down to 1 choice!
