Also my WIFE won the 2015 Bridgestone Feature Writing Award at the AJAC awards gala too!
I was a bit pissed off really*... I submitted to the same category!  :rofl: :rofl2:





*For those who don't read sarcasm well, I am being sarcastic. I was actually insanely proud and happy for her.

wait you're marreid?! how does noto (nosan) feel about this!?!?!

congratulations guys and gals. good work done by all... there is a reason i choose to hang around this forum... while i wish i could say it is all because of the wit and worldliness of the forum contributors, it is mainly due to the articles...

i say similar things about other glossy mags i used to read.

Congratulations! The writing quality has hugely improved over the last few years. And don't get me started on what used to pass for photography around here.  ;D

May I say that "Auto Tech: Autonomous Cars Will Change Everything" by Paul Williams was OUTSTANDING in every respect. Surprised it didn't win something.

Too bad, perhaps next year. It will still be very relevant, perhaps even more. Really got me thinking about what's coming and how to prepare our culture, laws, and expectations.

Good job guys, and well deserved.  You should get a special award for overall picture quality too.

But if it were up to me, Brendan gets award for best writing by a journalist....auto or otherwise.  His articles are must-read, even if I have absolutely no interest in the vehicle itself.
