Automotive website, header/banner contest ( 3x $20 prizes)

Hey

I need a banner to promote my site, a heading logo and possibly a favicon.
My website is an image/video file hosting/sharing site for Rotary cars, ie Mazda RX7/8 etc.

My site: www.rotarygarage.com

Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine
You may have to browse around my site to get a feeling for what I'm after.

Rules:
* I like the current head logo, could use an image to it.
* I like the current colors, please stick kinda close to them.
* go nuts on the banner, no rules.
* please try and make it "automotive like"
* Rotary related images preferred.
* I like the sort of cartoon style
* Remember its a hosting site.

Since Rotary powered cars are a bit different I have a few links here to help you get some ideas, these images can be chopped up and used as I own/have permission to do as I please.

Files for use:

Google Mazda rotary / RX7 to get an idea

Final:
This comp will run until I find 3 images that I like, the 3 best entry's will receive $20 US via PayPal. You can enter multiple times, winner will most likely be contacted by me with any future work I have for the site.
If I do not like any images I have the right to end the comp with no winner, etc etc all those kinda rules. I will post when comps over, I figure 3 days is enough, winners will be PM'd and asked for paypal details.
