Competitions - does anyone actually win?
Discussion
Going back a few years now, but I won a new car.. a Peugeot 205 GTi, in a Scottish Daily Mail Newspaper Competition.
It was one of those free, "put your name and address on the back of an envelope" type competitions and they were giving away a 205 car each day for the week. I was lucky to win and even more lucky that the day I won was the "special" day that the GTi was the prize rather than the base models.
(There was no cash alternative and the car had to be registered to me, but the supplying Dealer agreed to effectively buy it from me without me ever seeing it for about £1500 less than the actual value)

Not when it involves an Elise and a popular motoring website...
That's the 'Bin for you!!I've heard all of the 'hush-hush', 'sin-bin threat', cloak & dagger whisperings (such as those above) for ages now and wish someone would explain.
I know that there was a (PH?) competition to give away an Elise, and there is some dissatisfaction with the outcome. Anyone want to elaborate further?
I entered a Fantasy F1 competition a good few years ago, the year where Fisichella won in Brazil after the stewards initially said Kimi had won. Thanks to that one change in classification I went from first to second. First place was a VIP weekend at the next British GP as the guest of Jordan. Second place was a signed Olivier Panis/ Alain Prost T shirt. Gutted is not the word- I have never enetered a competition since!
