RE: £15,000 giveaway to spend in our classifieds

[obob]

When does it end?

[Hugo a Gogo]

I'd probably choose to win a Lotus Elise

[Twinpipe]

I don't understand the question.....

[GraemeP]

Great idea, and great start to the new year. I do have 1 observation though; if I won £10k I might put my £10k towards it for a cheap 997 C2. BUT if I ONLY had &10k of my own, are you going to hold my feet to the fire if you award me the £5k prize??

Just sayin' like

[cronk-flakes]

Entered! Now to say prayer 5 times a day to all of the gods until March 22nd.

Nor me. What if you put in a £10k car but win second prize and you don't have the extra £5k... should you just put in a £5k car etc etc.

Should your chosen car not be to your satisfaction upon viewing the prize fund will be available until you find one suitable

that would seem to cover your questions, chaps

Unfortunately, I have no hope of insuring something I really want.

Unless I can split the money between car and insurance

Yeah my thoughts exactly, unless Flux is picking up the tab for a year or something?
A pretty cool competition though, might enter later

[roystinho]

What if I choose a £10k car and only win the £5k prize?

Alternatively do I get £5k cash if I win £10k and have a £5k car?

Just wondering, will enter later when I can (try) think of a witty reason

[Twinpipe]

I might enter my own car. See if I can finally sell it! I might double the price and change the ad to £10k

[big_boz]

Christ you lot are picky, if you haven't got any money to put in, set the search criteria to £10k, if you only win £5k, then go find a cheaper car!

Insurance might be a bit of a bind but hey ho, if its all too much trouble and if you don't want to win...don't enter!

When i click on submit i get a blank page......is it broken?

Scroll up?

For some reason that page loaded for me, down at the bottom.

Ah Ha you are correct....i think i may have entered twice then!

[Beefmeister]

Are we pasting the search result page link, or the link to a specific car?

edit: Right, I was being a fool. It's the specific car.

I worry about the 'worthy' part of the selection process - is it going to be a bit like the X-Factor auditions where people roll out their bleeding heart stories to try and win a car?

I thought there was one winner who got £10,000 from PH and £5,000 from Adrian Flux totalling £15,000 towards one car

This isn't the case, so yes, I'm with everybody else... Do I pick two cars? one at £5,000 and one at £10,000?

Exactly the same for me, I think I've entered about three times now because of that!

Anyway, here's the car I selected -

Entered!

Your date selection drop-down calender puts the date in American format (mm/dd/yy) and your form actually wants it in the correct format of dd/mm/yy, meaning you have to manually change it... hopefully an easy fix!

[Twinpipe]

I think you're allowed to change your mind if you only win £5k.
To be honest, I'm not getting too bogged down in it all. I'll worry about it in the unlikely event that I actually win!!

[Manicminer]

Hmm, I thought we were submitting our search result URL.

Confusacomp this one is

Hmmm, I assumed it was the actual car. What has everyone else done?

EDIT: Re- reading the rules, it does look like the search as opposed to a specific car. Hopefully they won't mind!

[big_boz]

It does not specify a specific car, just a search...hence i have all monaro's under £10k that gets me in one, be it a £10k win or a £5k win (I think i can justify chucking a few grand in if its the latter...and the same again for insurance.......)
