I won a car on a competition site.
Discussion
Like many, I’ve been dubious of these car competitions..
Anyway, I got watching Rev Comps draws live on facebook and enjoyed the father and son combo, really quite amusing.
They do the draw live, you see the numbers pop up, they call the winner, you usually see the cars being loaded a few days later on fb and pics of the cars with the winners..
Every draw is guaranteed to happen when they say so, regardless of tickets sold.
After a number of months of playing for cars I’d actually want, a New Defender came up, so I bought a couple of tickets on Monday (last week).
I looked on the day of the draw to check i’d got the day right and noticed a Cayman S on there too, Mrs Greeni has always wanted one, so i bought 2 tickets for that....
Half hour later I was live on fb, taking the phone call to say I’d won, not the Defender, but had won the Cayman S.
We decided to collect instead of waiting for the delivery and as they would normally pay for a delivery, they offered to pay for the fuel for the trip down there, fill the Cayman with fuel and DONATE £200 to MS Society ( Mrs G has MS).
They are genuinely lovely people.
They do draws 3 times a week, they donate lots to charity and you get put into bonus draws etc!
Here’s a bad shot right after we pulled away from their unit, i had to connect her phone to the car for her, so she wasn’t faffing about whilst driving.
The car is MINT 2011 44k miles, recently serviced and fresh rubber on the rear.
Her first trip was 240 miles!! SHE LOVES IT.

Great win, and lovely car!
I tried a few of these websites and won a watch (or £ 14K) a few months ago, chose the money and bought my first Porsche (987.2 Boxster) last week.
I was tempted to get a few tickets for the one you won as well, but haven't got space for 2 of them

I've tried to win a few watches that I actually wanted but nothing.
Great car to win. I remember entering a car competition and ending up with a Smeg Fridge Freezer which was fine but didn't have quite the same sound as the 1st prize a Polo GTi.
Then the local paper in 2010 did a competition with the car club Ecurie21 I think it was called. I won the prize which was something like 12 days driving with a range of supercars to choose from.
I'd just turned 20 and the excess was something daft like £5000. I mean I just couldn't risk it, then they said they would sort something out like a few rides around a track but soon after they packed up and changed their name to something else and I got sweet f

Sorry for having it in wrong section.
Does anybody recognise it?
It had coloured dots stuck on the interior mirror’s back side, which i figured may be scrutineering stickers for trackdays?
Many vehicles I've bought from BCA had green circle stickers on the rear view mirrors. Always assumed it was for internal auditing of some description. Does anybody recognise it?
