Pagani Zonda Competition Finalists
August 21, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
A big thank you to all of you who entered the Pagani Zonda competition. After reading over 10,000 entries, we have narrowed down the results to three finalists.
In order to decide who gets an all expenses paid plane trip to Sydney and a ride in a Pagani Zonda, the most expensive car in Australia ($1.5 million), we ask you, our loyal readers, to vote for your favourite entry.
Entry Number One:
Mmmmmm, Let me ponda. Full throttle in a Pagani Zonda.
Anyday, considering i own a Honda
I would even contemplate leaving my wife RhondaAn hour in the Pagani Zonda
I’d like to be seen with someone blondaNo seriously i would
Just give me an hour!So the question still remains, what would i do to plant my arse in a Pagani Zonda?
Well i would hitchhike to central Africa and meet the president of Rawanda.
I would even air freight myself to South America and wrestle a yellow anaconda.
I love supercars, Lamborghini countach, Ferrari enzo, Porsche carrera GT and lets not forget in 1976 Aston Martin released the lagonda. No, no, no, no. These are no match for the Pagani Zonda.
Upon it’s release in 1999 i have become increasingly fonda of the Pagani Zonda.
Im an enthusiastic exotic car buff dont you think being a passenger is a little rough, and let’s be completely honest one hour will not be enough
Oh well it’s better than my honda, i can guarantee i will enjoy every moment in the PAGANI ZONDA.
Entry Number Two
Please give me a ride in that flash car,
it looks pretty cool and hot on the tar,
I can see the cameras shrinking behind,
heading down the highway while letting it unwind,If I got a ride in that yellow beast,
I’d wear a t-shirt ad that said at the very least,
“buy one now and you won’t be sad”,
“in fact it’s guaranteed that you will be quite glad”!I could even go as far to carry a sign,
just in case the sales are slow and not real fine,
reality, I’m guessing, says you don’t need my help,
the Zonda is a beauty unlike King Isand Kelp,So do the right thing and pick me to ride,
I’m sure we could get it into a four wheel slide,
Seven litres siting under the bonnet,
needs very little attention to turn into a commet!
Entry Number Three
To feel 21 in a car like that
Hey isn’t that where life is at
To go for a ride and be someone I’m not
Hey I could be Paris Hilton and pretend I’m …….hot
The car is so fancy I bet it goes fast
And a day in Sydney “oh what a Blast”
Come on please pick me I’m well behaved and good
And with loads of imagination I’d look good draped over the “hood”
Vote now for your favourite entry (voting ends on the 28th of August):
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED
Some great entries, congratulations to the 3 lucky finalists…. I hope you manage to get some sleep now, knowing what possibly lies ahead. :D
I think Entry #1 is a standout though.
I liked 2 & 3 !
Can I vote for them all :)
Drape her over the hood and let us decide if she looks good,….
LOL! I think the only reason why entry 3 is in the lead, because you all think you are going to see a hot woman draped over the hood! LOL. Seriously, the winner is entry 1 by a mile
Didn’t realise it was a rhyming competition?
Number 3 is the clear winner.Number 1 is too long.Number 2 is ok. Number 3 gets right to the point!!
Number 3 is a chick………damn I thought I was getting a hot guy .Now how many times have I voted for 3 ?
Number 3 is the winner for me, she sounds like she really deserves it.
Entry 3 will look good draped over the hood!
“Entry 3 will look good draped over the hood!”
…even if it’s an 18 stone full forward with hairy legs and a beard?
18 stone and a beard, sounds sexy, a vote for number 3 will be worth a look, cant wait.
Well well Lordy my God what have we got here? To clarify She (note the word she)does not have a beard or hairy legs.
Does that mean that She’s still a full forward then?! :D
Just pray your not a cow Foggy or she will milk you dry! ;O)
seeing faggy’s comment, does he wanna meet paris hilton?
How can ya not vote for number 3?? We all know its the BEST one!!
Seriously,fast cars and beautiful women are meant to go together…it would be a crime not to vote for number 3!!
:) Good Luck Number 3…. Hope You Don’t Puke In That REALLY expensive Car :P
This competition is more or a *quote a friend* “who has more frineds”
Exactly Fates!
Web polls can also be manipulated through the use IP proxies to enable multiple voting.
I think they have all done well to get this far, remember they have already beaten over 10,000 votes good luck to them all
Best luck to all!! They beat alot to get this far!! I hope my vote puts number 3 over the top!!!!!
If I was Rhonda I wouldn’t be to happy to be traded in for an hours car ride lets hope he comes to his senses
hey foggy are you entry number 1??????
Nah, not me…. my lame last minute entry was never going to cut the mustard.
Although, there does seem to be a campaign by #3’s friends out to smear my good name. :)
I dont know any of the 3 finalists…I just think #3 is the best one out of the 3!I didnt make the finals either foggy lol
3 is a RL friend :)
poor foggy sorry u didn’t get in ;) but i still think would of been pretty hard to beat 3
No.3 is to the point, not long winded and sounds good to me :) You got my vote ;)
No 3 has my vote she sounds like she has a sense of humor and the poem isnt too long Hope she makes it to sydney and has fun
I was hoping to get through but I guess my entry didn’t cut it. Good Luck entry 3 you have my vote for being short and amusing.Hope you enjoy the experience
i must have missed the part where this competition was for the best poet….
doesnt look like die hard pagani fans got in the top 3… bar number 1
3 is cool bravo
Short and to the point! #3 is hands down the winner.
WOW… I’ve never seen so many chicks on this site.
Did number3 post something on her myspace page begging for votes?
Hey girls, what are you wearing?
entry 3 will outclass the car, with style and panache
wtg entry 3
Looking good number 3!!
glad to see entrant 3 is winning still think shes got the best entry go girl go
I Personally know entry #1 and for what he has gone through in life he really deserves this lift, he has never been one to complain of his hard ships and always puts on a brave and funny front and is always there for someone in need, this is not a sympathy vote but he really deserves this one…….luv ya bro!
so get behind entry #1
Number 1 is the stand out…..Number 1 for the Number 1 car!……your the winner.
Good luck for #1.
You made me laugh and thats what lifes about.
Hope you win.
i hope no.1 gets to linger longer in the Pagani Zonda.
Vrooommmm Vroooommmmm….votes to entry 1.
Go no. 1.
Hope you get in that dream car.
I voted for you.
Entry NUMBER ONE by far is the best. Well done!
Number 3 should win for sure!!! best by far, enjoy the ride and hold on :P
Oh dear
it looks like number1 has just posted a “vote for me” on his myspace page too.
its looking like a battle of who has the more online friends
what a clever idea. fancy running a comp like this and letting it be decided by the lottery of an online poll.
This is too amateurish caradvice, get a judging panel together and decide for yourselves, or at least make some money out of it like idol & BB by making these suckers pay 2 vote.
REALLLL GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
If number one is desperate enough to go for the sympathy vote and is willing to ditch his wife Rhonda i pity his wife
REAL GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
If any of you can read its not hard to work out that 3 is by far the best.
My name is Fo’est, Fo’est Gump, I may not be a smart man, but I sure know I like number 3.
Me and 3 are like peas and carrots!
Till next time
Fo’est, Fo’est Gump
I hope she is hot, give us something else nice to look at…..lol.
Life is like a box of chocolate
You never know what you gonna get
If ya’ll want the sappy factor .. here i go… #3 has a disabled husband… runs a farm near by herself.. has adopted and raised her kids .. across many many cultural boundries.. near by herself.. goes to school part time to earn a computer degree.. if ANY person deserves this .. its #3.. MWAHHHH #3
To the crew behind this competition…its a pity to only have your online friends voting you over the line….its your competition and you should have chosen only on that merit of the entry….it has lost the whole meaning of the best entry and by far ….. entry Number 1. has won hands down…..even if entry number 3 has more computers to vote from.
What’s everyone’s dam problem? Doesn’t number 1 and 2 have any friends? The competition is fair for everyone, it’s not number 3s fault people have chosen there’s as the best! it’s very clear it’s the better choice, its well above the other. The point of a completion is there are winners and losers. This completions is far no-one has any unfair advantaged ,we all live in this big earth with a Population of 6,741,251,754.00 and so far 303 have voted and number 3 is winning.
DEAL WITH IT
IT’S NOT HARD TO SEE THAT NUMBER 1 HAS THE BRAINS AND CAR HISTORY THAT EVERY ENTHUSIEST HAS. IT’S SMART WHITTY AND RUNS RINGS AROUND 2 AND 3. BY THE WAY NUMBER THREE TALK ABOUT RIGGED YOU HAVE ALL UR FRIENDS VOTING IT’S NOT HARD TO WORK OUT WHAT UR UP TO. ANYWAY THE BEST VOTING WINS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NUMBER 1
Good luck #3 :)
@ROB
And what facts are you basing that on? Because they have more votes? Yeah right that makes sense! And this isn’t a competition about who knows the most about cars ether so there goes that point! o and well i’m here look down at your keyboard see the key left of the letter A? It says Caps Lock on it….got it?
oooo don’t worry here’s a picture down below to help.

That’s the distance you’d have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot!
So what if #3 is getting votes from friends.Isnt that what friends are for?If you dont know any of the 3,just read them and vote for the best one..for me that was number 3!Pretty simple really.
ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE NUMBER 1 IS THE BEST ENTRY FULL STOP………………. THE OTHER TWO ARE LAME LAME LAME
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NUMBER 1 YOUR THE BEST
Number 1 is like a bedtime story,,Number 3 ROCKS!!!
BY THE WAY IM HOT AND THE WORLD KNOWS IT. BUT FOR MY VOTE ITS NUMBER 1. NICHOLE AND BRITNEY SAID YOU GO NUMBER 1 WE LUV YOU
all the entries are pretty good and they wont get this far unless they are not proven finalists. i’ve carefully read each one of them and based on our times, we are now a hip pop culture and maybe no. 3 has a bit of an edge as it is short but sounds hip and nicely made. good luck to the other finalists though!
Number 1 started out good but quickly went bad expecially after he cursed.
Number 2 is ok.
Number 3 is the best.
And Gino … Need help turning off your caps?
caplocks……… DID YOU WRITE THE BOOK ON HOW TO WRITE.
DEAR JANE. IF ARSE IS A CURSE WORD YOU NEED TO HARDEN UP GIRL NUMBER ONE ROCKS
I bet entry 2 and 3, being car buffs knew that in 1976 Aston martin released the lagonda….. SURE… GO NUMBER 1
Dear Rip, hip hop culture my arse… number 1 kicks arse…… ha ha
Number 3, if the car needs to make you feel 21. How old are you really. 50 plus
Well BIG BIRD was age a requirement in the contest ??? I think not
Shouldn’t we be judging the entries NOT picking them apart
Give Credit that they got this far all beat over 10,000 other entries
I don’t see your name in the final three
Good Luck to them all I say
Nice one Number 1 you have our votes…cheers out.
Coool nuber 1
Hey Big Bird…or are you really oscar the grouch?? Maybe that car comes with mapquest so they can tell ya how to get to sesame street.
number 3 rocks!! way better than the rest, i think number 1 should stop being a saw loser. number 1 stop posting comments under different user names and start being a man and come to terms with your not going to win, its childish being a saw loser.
Number 1 no more to say!
Number 3 all the way!!!
just you wait and see
dont underestimate the big bird
Yall heard him..dont underestimate the big turd ..you know,the one that struggles to get out and ya have to lift a leg up
Quite frankly number one has set his priorities, if you are going to enter this competition you are clearly determined. As I see it that the entrant is also a poet and can find a reason to be and where with his Pagani Zonda!
Number 1 is the best entrant
If ten thousand people entered, why are there only 361 supporting the best entrant. Come on and vote for the best entry.. go number 1
GO 3 all the way :) i want some good snap shoots hehe
Go Number 3 all the way! You deserve it hun and we all know you don’t have to pretend to be hot…you are! Best of luck XOXO

Who Won?????????
This competition was not conducted correctly. The winner should have been voted on it’s content and it’s merrits. Not how many online friends you have.Do we know who ended up winning?
I think number 1 got over the line.
yeah right rex aka GINO….nice try just get over it!!!! you lost!
Stop crying….it was an online vote…billions of people use the net…you mean to tell me out of all the people that voted for number 3,,they were all her friends? Just accept that fact that more people voted for number 3 and get on with your life….Congrats to ALL that entered..and accept that fact that in the end number 3 won!
hey…. batman, robins calling
Contest was over 2 days ago…and still no listing on who won?? Before the closing Number 3 was in the lead by 78 votes..Can we get an update on this site????
Ummmm, helloooooooooooooooo????? When can we expect an update as to who the winner is?????
An update would be nice!!
keep your g-strings on ladies
ok Judge Judy with a sex change
Why hasn’t the winners name been posted?
I’m beginning to think this was nothing more than a publicity stunt :P
ummmm…. isn’t that what most competitions are! :D
Number 3 won,….
got an email late last night saying so,….
Last night at close to midnight I received an email to say I had won. I would love to thank everyone that supported me and carried me to the end.
When I received the advice that I had made it to the final three I was told “Voting opens Tuesday, mid-day and will run for seven days, tell all your friends to vote for you!” and that’s just what they did and it showed what great friends I have.
Thank you also to Australian Car Advice and Pagani Zonda for giving me this opportunity for a magical day.
Congrats to number 3. but here is a thought to car advice on average there are 4000-9000 people in one suburb the total votes recieved were 8.26% of one suburb in the whole of australia. ?tion was it really open for public or friend based votes?
Gino
Can u please explain how you got these figures …Quote “total votes received were 8.26% of one suburb in the whole of Australia?” Are you somehow linked to this web site to get this kind of information?
If you are referring to the votes I got then I have to inform you that as far as I am aware only 5 votes came from my suburb the rest were from interstate and overseas.
I think the vote was very fair and the competition was run well by CarAdvise as I said they actively encouraged the three finalists to “tell all your friends to vote for you!” and that’s what we all did. Remember we all had to make it past over 10,000 other entries to make the final three.
I would also like to thank the other two entrants for their great sportsmanship and wish them both the best
Entrant 3 won…get over it Gino.Yes it was open to the public,,remember this was an ONLINE vote..not entrant 3’s fault only 8.6% of one suburb voted..maybe they didnt have a computer..maybe they dont have as many friends as number 3,,,or maybe …just maybe NUMBER 3 won cause it was better? you ever think of that Gino?
To RIP maybe just maybe,you have no idea what logic means. Do your math the numbers don’t add up. If you were to get anybody who has or runs competitions for the general public it is advertisd to generate public awareness 400 people voted. It did’nt sound like it reached a target audience to vote let alone the public. Just give this to an independant body to conduct this vote not only friends can vote but also the public.. RIP you have no clue. Do you know how they vote for idol? oh now theres an idea!! How many votes do you think they get?400 or more like or a couple hundred thousand. thats how u conduct a competition.
gino please get over it, why are you so concerned with the figures, its over, move on, wtg no. 3 hope you have a fab time.
Tange, my concern is based on the results.not who won. So an idependant body will conduct a online poll on the three entrants i will keep you all posted on the results………………….
Your right Gino,,,far be it for anyone to argue with the Great All-Knowing Gino.Regardless of how the competition was run,,number 3 won,thats all the clues I need.Yes maybe,just maybe the numbers DO add up..they add up to NUMBER 3 winning.
I sure wished Gino would get a life. Inquire, poll do what you see fit.. however you clicked yes to the terms and conditions.. which leaves you powerless to do anything. If this compition was that important to you maybe you should reconsider your priorities and put your efforts into something positive instead of whining about something you cant change. Be a man and except defeat graciously.
Get a life Ginooooooooooooo
#3 would have won regardless cause she’s the best!
Stop crying over spilt milk, don’t worry…. be happy…….. stop crying….. you big sappy :-}
why are all you guys getting all worked up?
winner has been informed and announced, commenting is over guys.
