Wow! Some brutal first-round match-ups. A few battles of also-rans as well, but the process will eventually weed those out.

Done too!

Yes yes yes... some of them were so tough... tough as in "who would you save if your mother or wife was drowning" tough. (Okay that analogy might not apply to some members) :wink:

I quite enjoyed it too. My 765 CP better make it into round two! :cheer: :strummin: :lingsrock:

Change that to "ex-wife" and the choice would be a little easier. :mrgreen:

I voted in all 32 but there were a few in which I would have liked the option to write-in. :wink: Great job Roff.

Yeah I'm really surprised by some of the early leaders. It's also pretty clear that there are going to be some that go right down to the wire.

Oh I dunno, I reckon 90% of them are going pretty much how I voted. :thumbsup: There's definitely a couple of surprising oddities though..... and a couple of the more tricky ones are obviously dividing opinion. I'm enjoying seeing how this is panning out. :)

Thanks for putting this together. It is just fun going through all the models.

We've also left room to do this with a lot of the remaining models. There are a couple not there that I thought would be included, but since I didn't contribute to the list...I will remain quiet. :lingsrock:

I agree, and of course after hitting 64 I started getting PMs from people who wanted others included - such is life.

Maybe we can make this an annual thing?

Thanks Roff. Great idea and good work on putting or together.

There are a few really tight match ups, IMO.

That's a great idea, Roff. I think this is so cool. I voted for all mine, but accidently voted for a wrong one when I voted Emergency Mission over Old Blackbird. Was interesting to see which ones I voted for that were ahead and which weren't. I did vote for a few underdogs.

I think It would be cool to make it annual. We'll post the results every year and see if they change :)

You guys beat me to it. The 2012 greatest Breitling. It will be interesting to see results year on year.

wow...some tough 1st round matchups!

Thanks for setting it up Roff!

I think we'll need to start a sports-style commentary thread to analyse the results as each round happens!

That was fun! Next you should do a battle of the new Lings, colored rubber bezels blacksteels and all... Then a King-of-the-hill championship to see if us vocal oltimers or the silent young guns now represent BSource community...
