Welcome to the August 2020 MV of the Month Nomination Thread!

To submit a nomination the rules are :

1. - You may nominate your own vehicle or another SS Members vehicle (please get the member's permission first). Do not nominate vehicles not owned by an SS Member.

2. - ONE good photo must be submitted with your nomination. PLEASE POST ONLY ONE PICTURE AND NOT A LINK!!!

3. - Previous winning vehicles from the current year cannot be re-nominated.

4. - One vehicle nomination per member per month unless you nominate another member's vehicle...not your own. You can ONLY nominate ONE of your own. (It's to keep things fair).

5. - We ask for 10 vehicles per month for the contest. Once we get 10 vehicles nominated OR at 20:00hrs (8PM) on 15 August 2020, (whichever comes first), the nomination thread will close and the "Vote Thread" will open as soon as The Boss can open it. All times listed are Eastern Standard Times.

6. - Please do not "campaign" for your favorite MV on THIS thread...wait for the "Vote Thread" then have at it!!

Now come on folks, let's see those beautiful MV's you have so we can all enjoy them.

PB,
Is it ALIENS, or simply the overall climate of these times? (Political silence, Viral Lockdown, hermitage)

All kidding aside, I'm hoping to see some very worthy MV's posted by some of the best MV enthusiasts there are, on the most awesome MV website in the world.

Let the nominations BEGIN ! ! !

I don't really know but I do know there comes a point where it's just not worth the effort.

Don't be discouraged, Soldier!
Peelin' taters may not look like you're fighting the war, but if it weren't for your spud-skinnin' those on the front line won't last long at all.

I applaud what by your efforts is a morale booster for our Membership. Yes, there are times that things get off to a slow start, or other times when the field of candidates may seem sparse. But whatever the case, please keep up your good work.

Who knows, I may even through our 220KAK back into the contest..... She's no beauty, but she is about as unique in the collectible world as they come.

LOL....I wasn't talking about ME!! Heck...I can't even speil descuraged!! I just re-read my post and it DOES kinda sound like I'm whining!!:roll:

I meant others may not consider it worth the effort for what ever reason. If I didn't consider it worthwhile, I'd just ask the Boss to pass the torch on to someone else.

Until that happens I'll continue to harass....er I mean encourage fellers to nominate their vehicles and fuss at them if they don't.

Spoken like a real trooper. Maybe a SERGEANT at that!

Now if I can only recall what month/year I entered our 220KAK 1960 vintage Box Van Trailer.... I might just re-nominate it this month.

I can think of one 220KAK 1960 vintage Box Van Trailer that is itching to get in the competition this month!
I'm taking the lead from real-world politics... Teasing as to whether or not to throw its hat into the ring.
Maybe I should just wait and let it be a write-in candidate rofl

All kidding aside... I just need to MAKE the time to post up its nomination. But right now, I am rather busy restoring our home after a nasty hailstorm in late May that hit is with 3-1/2" stones. I'm putting a metal roof on the house as a one-man-job - in part because it's like Lego Blocks and I can, and also because I'm just a CHEAP OLD semi-RETIRED FART with more energy than brains. LOL
(They are predicting 104F for a high temp today.... Up on the roof I go!)

Ok, OK, O'KAY ! ! !
I last submitted to nominating our 220KAK back in August of 2018. So, here it is two years later and again, I've been cajoled into nominating her again.
(Don't you just love the tease?)
But, I must admit, I don't have a lot of fresh campaign material to publish so I'm just RECYCLING my original post from that historic run for the MV of the Month Title and Trophy, and of course the CASH AWARD that comes with winning rofl

...and I QUOTE:
*******************************************************************
DON'T DISTURB THE BEAR ! ! !

Here's my rare little treat to appease the cranky bear......


1960 vintage 220KAK 26' Box Van Trailer, manufactured by the KINGHAM TRAILER COMPANY, Louisville, Kentucky.

There you have it, troops: Number 3 on this month's ballot.

May the bestest MV win!
