MG TD TF 1500 - My TD on cool rides online - please vote

Hello everyone, Since winter is suddenly upon us here in Northern NJ, I decided to spend some time (indoors) entering my TD in a competition on Cool Rides Online. My TD was selected as a semi-finalist by the panel at Cool Rides and is now competing against a few "garden variety" automobiles. The final selection will be made by a popular choice using a public vote at: http://www.goldeagle.com/event_marketing/coolridesonline.aspx In casting their vote, I hope the T Series community will be partial to my TD. Please note that you can vote once every day through the month of November if you are so inclined (or just plain bored). Thank you, RT

R Thadani

RT, I don't know man ...that "tixdy-1'~cheby" is pretty dope! (I am kidding)

David Sheward

You got my vote Raj. Cheers - Dave

David DuBois

I just voted for you again RT, you are climbing fast and now in second place with the Chevelle at 36.36 and you quickly catching up at 30.91. Regards, Rich

Richard Taylor TD3983

Well, at this moment you're on pole position!! Let's make this work! Jasper

Jasper L Nederhoed

Your in first now... just voted.

Tom Maine (TD8105)

Thank you everyone, for your support. :-) Humbly, Raj

R Thadani

Just voted and gave you a little spread.

Dallas Congleton

My vote has just crossed the pond to keep you in first place!

Mike Sutton

Just voted and you're definitely pulling ahead John

John Brickell

Add one more from me.

Larry Brown

And still one more from me.

John Quilter (TD8986)

I made it 40.32% vs. 24.73% for the SS Bud

Bud Krueger

Raj, Now 41.15%! GOOD LUCK! Jerry

Jerry Chandler

41.12% with my vote.

Jim Merz

Two from me - 41.46 currently. Dan

Dan Craig

Raj - still climbing, in fact pulling away from the competition. Brian

Brian Smith (1950 TD3376)

You're now miles ahead - and just to remind everyone, we can all vote once a day (why?)..... - Tom. (Not prejudiced, BTW. Father-in-law has a 1939 Buick and 1962 Caddy - great cars, both)

Tom Bennett - 53TD 24232

Another vote. RT -- I also bought my red Mk II in 2006, also at my wife's request!

Rob Edwards

Just voted again RT, once at work and once at home so as long as you use a different computer you can vote as many times a day as you want; your at 42.22 now, who says a TD can't whoop a Chevelle:)

Richard Taylor TD3983

That's great everyone! I am so humbled by your support. Yes, you can vote once a day from each computer. I gotta say, the MGT community is really tight (and proud). We have "car egos" that are inversely proportional to the size of our LBCs. Many thanks! Raj

R Thadani

BTW ..I have been voting every day.

David Sheward

Tough choice. MGTD or a flat black 1950's Travel Trailer (Caravan for our British friends). You got my vote.

Bruce Cunha

And I'm in, too! Almost 20 points ahead as I post. Cheers!!! BobbyG

Bobby Galvez

Now at 42.13% after another vote by yours truly.

Jerry Chandler

We can do it!

Jasper L Nederhoed

Just voted, hope you win!

Bill Brown

"hope you win".... He will, I have mutiple computers/accounts.

David Sheward

Just keep voting every day! And, to achieve that this thread is also on top of the forum-list, type a few words as comment...that's a good reminder for all of us voters! Jasper

Jasper L Nederhoed

Shame there's no way to cast negative votes against that green thing. ;-)

Raj, I finally joined in and voted for you. 46.87%. As much as I love the TD, I am in love with the Chevelle. When I was a teenager I had a 68 Chevelle with a blown 400. I was running 500hp with that set up and could get the front tires off the ground. I sold it when I got married. I still have the wife at 26 years. Wish I had the car as well. Oh well, it was a good trade. Rob

Bobby Galvez

If those jumps of .04% were each the result of a single additional vote, we have enough data to solve the question of 'how many votes have been cast?'. The answer would be about 1449'ish. Out of those, the number cast for the TD would be about 756. Rounding uncertainties make it tough to be precise. Bud M=total cast N=cast for TD N/M=.5219 N/M-(N-1)/(M-1)= .5219-.5215 (difference from 1 vote) substitute (N=M*.5219), solve for M: M=.4785/.0004=1449 But, then again, I could be way off. But, I'll be glad when next Thursday comes and this thread will be over.

Bud Krueger

David Sheward

52.49 and .02 per vote by now. Thanks for reminding me of the daily vote, nearly forgot today... With the .02% as delta, the # of votes would be nearly 2x what Bud calculated, but it´s probably somewhere in the middle from rounding errors in the displayed figures (most voting deltas I had before were in the .03% range Mike

John Brickell

52.66 at 11:20 CST. BobbyG

Bobby Galvez

Mike's .02% delta would lead to a total of about 2375 votes, of which about 1246 would be for the TD. It's probably somewhere between the .02% and .03% figures. I'll bet there are some Detroit Iron fans scratching their heads trying to figure where these foreign fans are coming from. I wonder what a typical month's data looks like. Bud

Bud Krueger

52,56 I'm sure gonna miss this...

Jasper L Nederhoed

52.59 this morning, and Raj - and we definitely want to know what the prize is that you should have secured by now ! I think this is also a great lesson in viral marketing (not so much for goldeagle since I only just realized I might actually look on their website what it is they offer, but for your TD!!) 3 days to go and we´re most likely to hit the 300 on this thread as well.

52.86% as of 8:16 A M, Monday, November 28, 2011, CST. I think these results must be close to amazing. I hope all members/readers who have not voted (if there are any)will do so at least once. Jerry

Hello Everyone, Once again many thanks for your support. It seems like "we" will collectively win this award. I will provide a detailed report after the winner is announced. I will request voting statistics, if they are willing to share them. Thanks, Raj

Mike Hart (52 TD 16378)

I was 54.38% early this morning. Percentages change slowly. I'd estimate that by the time this ends tonight the TD will have garnered about 1520 votes out of about 2800 cast. We should hire ourselves out to politicians. Bud

Bud Krueger

Last time I guess 54.41%.

Congratulations to all concerned. 54.5% is pretty decisive, even though we were all just a tiny bit biased. Now, where were we?

Tom Bennett - 53TD 24232

Congratulations to Raj's 1952 MD TDMK II For getting voted as November's Ride of the Month!

David Sheward

Bet those other car owners never counted on the power of MG owners from around the world adding in their vote.

Bruce Cunha

Hello Everyone, With both humility and pride I am pleased to confirm that WE won! Humility because I didn’t do sh#t to win this. Pride because I belong to a group of people that hold our marquee in very high regard. ***Quick summary: It is official that we won and we ought to take a victory lap together. I feel like this competition took a course of its own based on this BBS and my Facebook community. Here is a link from the website confirming the ride of the month: http://forums.coolridesonline.net/album.php?albumid=316 I have not received any other communication from them yet. ***Detailed report (for those who wish to read on and get bored): The background - I discovered this competition while speaking with someone from Gold Eagle about give-aways for a local car show that I am involved in. They asked me to submit my car to their Cool Rides competition website. In October, I received an email from Cool Rides letting me know that I was one of five cars selected. As the other cars were of a “Garden Variety” as compared to my TD (in my humble opinion), I quickly posted details on this BBS and my Facebook page. The support has been global, awesome, amazing and at times comical. My wife thinks we are all from another planet, although she found many of your comments “cute!” I soon realized that I was more interested in THIS thread than the competition itself. The competition has a lot less meaning to me than this thread. I am just simply struck by our community. Right from the day I acquired my car, the folks on this BBS have been of tremendous help. I have not been able to find anything like this for the other cars I own/have owned. And I worry for future generations of newer classic car enthusiasts, who will surely miss out on this support. As for the winnings – this was mostly for fun with a small reward. As part of being selected as the initial five, I received a $100 worth of Gold Eagle merchandise. Some of it like SAT-BIL is very useful and other stuff like FIX-A-FLAT that I will not use. For the Grand Prize as being selected as the ride of the month - I will receive a plaque, a t-shirt and a hat. As soon as I receive the plaque, I will post a picture on this thread. A print out of this thread will be added to the provenance of the automobile. For those who would like something to continue to go along with their morning coffees, perhaps we can think of another cause that we can lend our support to... Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone from our community who find themselves in the NY/NJ area to visit the TD and/or me. A cold beer will be waiting... Sincerely, Raj Thadani

R Thadani

Force of habit (coffee hadn't kicked in yet), went to the site. That 1934 Plymouth looks a lot like a TD!

David Sheward

Thanks for the note, Raj. What a hoot to read that this thread will be added to the provenance. Certainly a unique situation for a car! Hooray! BobbyG

Bobby Galvez

Further update (Bud): The folks at Cool Rides informed me that the total number of votes in November were around 2500. It was a good month for them.

R Thadani

Hello Everyone, So the trophy arrived and I have uploaded a picture. It was proudly displayed in a prominent place trough the Holidays. The story of the support from this community was told many times. Thanks to everyone for their support. Now here is the kicker. I received this email last week: *************************************** Hi 1952MGTD, This year's contest will be between the 12 Ride of the Month winners in 2011. The prizes will be announced when the voting opens. With the contest starting in less than a week, I thought I'd share a few fun facts about this year's contest! You can read them and comment here: http://forums.coolridesonline.net/showthread.php?t=1959 Have a great weekend! Marcel Manzano Webmaster / Administrator Cool Rides Online *************************************** So the million $$ question is should we attempt the big one?? Should the TD go for the 2011 vote? I am sure I can hear some groans... Let me know what you think, is anyone in the mood to start this voting thing all over again and can the TD compete against the Chevys? I would hate to impose again on this wonderful community. The competition runs until Feb 19, 2012. It has already begun. To vote for the TD please click on this link: http://coolridesonline.net/news-and-blog/2011ROY.aspx Humbly, Raj

R Thadani

You've got my vote! But it's still a long way to the Chevy... Jasper
