3 Boats  2 Boats 
 
Well, Bear shut himself away for several hours with this years entries for the ‘One Careful Owner’. The results are totally his and his alone. He also chose the categories. His first group was Boats. In third place was the 4 Sale we saw in Niue. In second place, the classic that was Jenny’s entry on Moorea.
 
 
1 Boats
 
In first place, the beauty from Papeete.
 
 
1 Car in Use BB Aitutaki Car Day 120
 
I was surprised when the judge came up with his own totally new category – Cars In Use. He awarded first place to this wonderfully seated and air-conditioned number. I have to say, this was a fun vehicle.
 
 
2 Car in Use CP Nukualofa Car 014
 
In second place, although I did not agree that this was in use.

Tonga produced the third place in old car ladies.

I remember Bear choosing his first choice as soon as he saw it in Mopelia.

3 Vehicle-Lorry BB Prov by Golf Cart 013  2 Lorry BB Car Tahiti 180
 
In the final category of Big Vehicle, Bear chose this bus to come in third. The lovely Renault to come in second. I asked Bear what his overall 2013 winner would be. After much mulling and scratching of the beard, he said it came down to the trailer, the tractor and his eventual choice. So the winner of the big vehicle and this years overall beauty by the narrowest of margins – goes to....................
