I wonder where the hell they sourced that from, I've been looking for a type 3 to buy for a year or so now and I've not seen that come up for sale! (I've even been looking in the 'more obscure/in the know' places!)
People offer stuff to these sites, Aspire are pretty well known for VW stuff so maybe they were offered it. Easy transaction for a seller, comp sites are basically WBAC for unusual and modified stuff!

Won this Tuesday. Haven't entered for donkeys. Usual email "they won't all sell out". Entered with 2 minutes left due to boredom. Still shell-shocked. Arrived today, from revcomps.

Utterly, utterly gobsmacked. Probably sit in the draw but nice thing

Well done great win - I had a Breitling from them, did you have the super awkward phone call live on air ?

Nice one, lovely watch. I had a look at it and it did look like it wasn’t going to sell out. Was that the case?

Rev Comps on Facebook just gave a new Tracer 900 GT to the wrong person so are going to get another one to give to the person that should've won it.

Watching as well, hope they do the same for the Arteon as I've got tickets for that laugh

The incorrect winner was in Spain on holiday and back in 12 days so enough time to get another Tracer in for him.

I'm worried the Arteon is a bit wide for my road and the clamshell bonnet design means there would be a danger of scraping that as well as the wing.

The rims look stupidly big as well.

It'll fit two car seats in the back and a double pram in the boot so that's good enough for me and the only criteria I need for a replacement car laugh

Commiserations, the Arteon is staying in Devon.

Wow, I just went back and watched the live. Fair play to them, site had gone down this afternoon too so higher odds. Next time I decide for a flutter I’ll be looking their way.

Was watching too. They’re good people. I won some credit again last week, always get a personal email reply acknowledging/responding to anything I’ve mentioned. They seem far more approachable and friendlier than some of the other sites.

Being more cautious what I enter in to recently. Though having said all that I’ve just bought tickets with Aspire for ‘Jeff’ on a total whim!

I quite like the Arteon but (IIRC) it's only got 150 horses/180 lbft which seems somewhat miserly for a (relatively) large car....

Number drawn was 223 and they called 233. Fair play to them for acknowledging (not that they had any choice, the comments lit up with the error).
This mornings email said it had happened before on an Audi TT.

It was a bit chaotic last night.

Class that! Well done.

The Porsche Spyder looks lush.
Bought a ticket for that over the Alfa.

Tempted buying a 2nd ticket I’d drive that porker into the ground! Here’s to dreaming lol

No, no missed call either but went to bed straight after entering so wouldn't have answered anyway!

Not sure to be honest, don't really follow these things after entering
