Seems like a lot of effort to me for £10,000/£5,000.

Can't it be a draw? First 2 names out of a hat?

Okay it seems as if we need clarification of whether we paste the search URL or a specific car.


Also, 250 words is very tight if we're trying to impress you with our description and such like...

Well I chose my search, then wrote my spiel which came out at 542 words when I'd finished!

Had to 'edit' that one a fair bit!

Given that the competition closes mid march, and the car that the search criteria spat out for me is somewhat rare, I suspect it will be sold?

(and yes, I got a blank page on entry; may have entered twice. Sorry)

Nothing in the rules that says it has to be just 250 words. My grammar is terrible, so I may mistakenly use several hundred hyphens. wink

The entry box that you paste it into has a 250 word limit.

I'm also a little baffled by this.

I think confused.com would have been a better partner for this competition than Flux! wink

Very good point - that comes up as only one word!

However, I think PH will mark you down for terrible grammar... hehe

You're kidding, right?
Yeah right. How hard do you usually have to work to earn £10,000?!

I didn't find it hard to write 250 words. In fact I had to cut mine down a bit.

I have a beautiful entry. However it's currently 360 words, and I don't want to mangle its sweet majesty.

The buying process may be interesting: "How are you paying for the car?",
"Uh, a nice man called Adrian is paying for it for me..... keys please!"
