To be fair - the guy did promise something - this is from his first post on the project in Nov '06.

OK all im looking for pictures of 20 minis from australia and also a small blurb about them on specific things like
horse power, fuel economy, 0-100 time, wheel size, cost and year of manufacture.
not worried if they are clubman or round nose cooper S or commercials.
I also need a little blurb about them and for a historic point of view and last but not least i would like to have the OK to reproduce the picture that you send me.
IN Return i will send you a free gift with your car etc on them.
but i only need 20 or so pictures.
Ill decide if they are a wreck or not and im not judgemental either.
I need this all to happen in the next week or so aso i can get it all done befroe xmas and get your free xmas present off to you.you all know my email address its
[email protected] please send high resolution pictures of the car only i dont need engine pics.
thanks to all those who want to be famous, cos i know i will be there also.
He was offering a 'free' xmas present 2 xmases ago.
I'm in agreement that it's no big deal if the guy's had trouble getting the job done, there's no real loss to anyone that submitted a pic (other than the loss of hope itself

), we've all had visions, ideas and projects that never quite got finished so fair play to the guys for sticking at it (at his own cost/time/effort) and following through, albeit 15-18 months down the line.
