That is lovely. If I wasn't in for the Mustang on DCG I'd be in for that.
The mustang looks all sorts of awesome tbh (as does the AMX Javelin on Aspire) but I'm not sure if I'm just too soft for something quite uncompromising these days... frown

Love it, but I'd be changing the grill for the vertical slats.

I've seen competitions on Facebook for 3 different classic Minis in the last few days. Where have they all come from? hehe

Man trolled after looking miserable as he picked up his £35,000 prize car

I suspect it could also be a case of not wanting to 'go public' but if you read the T&Cs of every single competition, it's written there in black and white that the winner must be photographed with the prize for promotional purposes and said image can be used time and time again whenever they choose, for marketing purposes.

One for the council thread too. Abuse over social media = council.

A one-ticket winner. Suppose it keeps me inspired to carry on trying!

sadly, and unsurprisingly, I didn't win the Merc weeping

Revs do have a mk2 RS2000 and that's on short(ish) odds - not for me though

Entered the RevComps for the Tesla Model 3, same night as the AMG GT because it had undersold by almost a 1000 tickets in the last 20 mins, (I think last-minuter's would have gone for the GT).

Suffice to say I didn't win, but I'm now interested just in the money as I'm happy with my car. I think that's going to be my new strategy, just enter the undersold ones with a cash alternative in the last few minutes.

As other have said, "best of luck everybody!" (between gritted teeth)!

I’m in for a few of the Aventador tickets. As always with Pristine I buy one full price then wait for the discount codes to be text through. Sure enough they’re coming in thick and fast tonight and up to 10 tickets now.

Cash alt looks quite low on it though, high spec Aventador S’s with 10k miles are up for around £240-250k so I reckon you could get more than £200k from a trader.

All depends how much you can be bothered though, the temptation of £200k in the account the next day must be pretty tempting!

Blimey - I guess you must have had to have bought one at the higher price though to start with ?

Seems a strange way to play knowing you are going to be made offers as the clock winds down ?
