Midweek dullery turned to over excitement instantly this lunchtime... then i get slapped back to dullery with the "over 28 b******t.

Can someone from PH staff please explain why this is (blame Jag or Her Nordschleife or whomever) so i can stop hating on you.

Cheers (for NOTHING) wobble

This. Dang.

Must be because no one in their right mind under the age of 30 would ever buy a jag.
Oi! I had an XF at 26. Got some funny looks mind...

Its for insurance purposes. Same reason they have an age limit in every single competition like this ever run.

Although flights can (and do) leave from the North, this plane is pre-booked so you will need to be able to travel to London if you win.
Are the London - Frankfurt flights included in the prize because it does not mention them in the itinerary?
Hence my original question
Absolutely yes

Rules is rules, not really much we can say really...

Just think, in a few years you'll laugh while others post similar comments. For now, be thankful you are still enjoying being young. 28 is a distant memory for many of us.

This must be one of the best prizes PH have ever offered, a prize that the winners will remember for ever, I comply with the requirements and as I'm not working I am available no matter what the date or time, all I need is the ok from she who must be obeyed, Oh and to win the comp as well. Good luck to everyone but even better luck to me.

Great competition PH.
And for the whippersnappers..... MTFU. It doesn't take a genius to work out why there's an age limit for this. How about being happy that Jaguar are offering a fantastic prize rather than moaning at the restrictions their insurance company will have made of them?

There are precious few advantages to getting old - insurance is one of them smile
