Woo-hoo! The first time I was right about which car would win the Ridler! I know it’s a controversial choice but once you examine it up close, you realize what an amazing car it is.
I don’t think it’s all that controversial. IMO, there were three clear contenders among the Great 8, and when you examine them carefully, the Riviera is at another level still in conception and execution.
Congratulations 3rd times a charm. You had a vision and you and your crew brought it to life. That car turned so many heads, some people even thought it was mid-engine. Hope you take her on the auto cross or some track, maybe even the salt flats to she what she’ll do. That would be a first a a Riddler winner on the salt. Hope to see the car back home for your show in Ossoyos. Think your only the third Canadian to win AWESOME!!!!
