Isn't there a £10k cash (side) option too? Plenty of (running) funds to enjoy that Lambo...

All winners have insurance paid in advance too. So it's just fuel and (maybe?) tax which the £10k would easily cover.

Hard to say what's been done exactly but looks to me like they've used content aware whereby you delete a object and the program uses its surroundings to fill the gap.
Quite often it works well smile

Just had a go myself, got nothing to lose with the free £5 you get for signing up. Looks like a lot of fun.

Best of the Best always try to surprise the winner.

The car you win is the one you select when you enter. The ticket price varies depanding on the value of the car you choose.

I enter most weeks. It's damn addictive. :-/

You can have one free £5 entry if you're a new player and after that you just have to keep trying!

Range Rover Sport is currently half-price at £3.50 a ticket. I've just bought 10.

If you buy 10 tickets its 40% off so £21. Less your £5 new player credit.

That's 10 goes for £16. £1.60 each rather than the usual £7.

Feeling lucky? ;-)
I entered yesterday and this morning they've emailed me a 15% off code!

Um .... should I buy 10 more??? :-/

This was one of the weirdest judging decisions I've seen and I play every single competition. Usually I'm damn close and get a big credit back. This game I was miles off! :-(

Oh well. Try try again! :-)

Well you do get a free years insurance and servicing... although the fuel bills would be cripppling

Might have to give this a go certainly better odds than the few quid a year I win on the euro's

No Probs.

Just a heads up that they're running a totally free compeition at the moment. Worth a go ... :-)

It's the usual spot the ball format.

WIN A WEEK’S HOLIDAY FOR TWO TO CUBA!

Win the holiday of a lifetime to the unique city of Havana in Cuba! With its stunning beaches, everlasting sun, party atmosphere and Spanish colonial architecture, this beautiful Caribbean island promises to be like nowhere else you’ve ever visited!

We’ll be flying you from Gatwick with Virgin Airways where you’ll be picked up from the airport and taken to your luxury half board hotel.

No trip to Cuba is complete without a ride in a classic car, so we’re also throwing in a day’s excursion of Havana with your own private driver in a 1950’s classic convertible car of your choice – choose from a Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick or Pontiac to name but a few!

Dream Car Competition is a bit tough this week. Ball almost seems to need to be placed over players face???

Just bought 10 tickets for the Porsche Macan S. Currently half price at £3 each (less 40% for buying 10)

Fingers crossed.

Best I have ever been is one pixel away. Damn close!

Unfortunately somebody else got it exactly and won otherwise it would have been me. That was for a Jaguar V6S! :-(

I've had a few games where I've been miles out but most I'm pretty close. I've been doing it for 3 years! :-/

It used to be once a month but is now weekly. Still enjoy doing it and the buzz of waiting for the results.

I won a car once!

It was one of those old Daily Mail things years ago. I was technically too young, so we agreed to split it with my brother, who was. He took the car (the deal is that it had to be registered in the winners name before you can do anything), drove it for a week and then sold it. A gold metallic Astra GTE, mmm nice! Made a tidy profit - never saw a penny.

F**ker...

Never forgiven him for that! The little git then won another car too - a Renault 20 I think. Sold that and bought a house with the money. Best I won was $11 on the Californian state lottery the other day.
