The Golden Turbo award goes the person who made the IHI upgrade (successfully) with the fewest posts like... "What turbo should I get" and "I bought this turbo from SSAUTOCHROME and it doesn't work.. what do I do?" posts :p

(sorry.. feeling a little giddy tonight.. and wishing I was going to Carlisle!)

Every year, NATO officers, prior winners of the award, and a few other NATO "old timers" nominate members who have done alot for NATO over the past year. A vote by this committee selects the winner, who is given the award at Carlisle every year. The winner gets s REAL NICE engraved plaque, and also gets their name added to another plaque showing all earlier winners. No cash prizes for the winners, though Smile

Well, it looks like Nato will be around for at least another 13 years if you count the empty squares on the plaque, not including this year. I will be 60 years old then. That is mind boggling.
