Indeed 5k would be something special for me too after my previous redundancy and having to sell my TVR.
At first I couldn't think of anything for 5k that I was interested in but now I've found mk1 Leon cupra R's are insurable I would actualy prefer the second prize.
Surely I'm a shoe in for a prize, I'm 25 and I've never had a hot hatch, I'm sure PH's won't let that continue!!
But wait, I was a feckin ejit and put a Octavia VRS diesel as my choice. I've well and truly blown it.

So here is a premature congrats to the winners.

Congrats

Hopefully PH will pass on our details to a "special partner" and we'll get an offer through from a track day company to make up for not winning anything.

Say 3 laps in the back of a knackered Scooby for an "admin" fee of 200 quid should do it wink
To win, just text this number...

Does this mean I'm winning the worst current car?

I'll stop checking my spam folder every day for an email then. The car I most want is still available from January - should be able to get it for close to the 10k.

I think he'd have trouble driving my choice.. sooo left field it's off the radar completely. That is why I should win!

When I entered, I wrote a few words, and copied the URL for a search of the classifieds.

Surely none of these searches are still going to throw up the same results, several months down the line? Or did the entry form make a copy of the contents of the URL at the time?
You're right, the cars you saw initially are likely to be sold by now but the search criteria will remain and that's what matters.

It gives us an insight into the type of car you want, and we can then attempt to find something that matches the brief.

We'll really look after the winners, I promise.
It's the losers you want to look after... They'll be a lot more of them and they'll all be quite traumatised. wink

There are no losers!
Just 3999 runner ups!
Or is that runners up?
It's ok. All the runners up will have an exclusive track day prize where they just have to pay £199 for insurance.

No point you giving him agg, Beefy; you won't win. It'll be a left-handed, mixed-race lesbian from Norfolk; always the way with these sponsored competitions.

Garlick wouldn't have trouble driving anything he is an excellent driver biggrintongue out
Unless you've put in an entry for something that is not a car at all or is a car but can only be bought under budget without some essential component (e.g. engine, wheels)
