The first (ten or so) cars that were built and on the road do have some pioneering status and deserve to be acknowledged as "our heroes". The same goes for their builders.
But we would like to see a growing number of followers. As has been said, many people have bought the book and are building anonymously, without participating in the forum. Maybe the shields shouln't be numbered, apart from the 10 golden ones.
I suggest that we start a list where everyone who wants to be known can add themselves when the build has started and when on the road.
Joining the list is a matter of copy/paste, adding a line and posting to the registre thread. So the list gets longer and no club has to be formed yet.

Jumping from PIP-list to FOR-list : erase your line in the PIP-list and add a line in the List of Heroes.
