Anybody won one of those car lotteries?

[Stevil]

I've grabbed a couple of tickets for the Atom on 7 days, another one I think you could keep running for relative pennies and it would just appreciate in value.

At only 1.5 bar it's not very highly strung, I would imagine as long as properly looked after it will last a long time.

I may have spend a pretty penny on that R34 that DCG have just uploaded, that's got to be a keeper

[ghost83]

I’ve just had a punt on that R34 as well

Looks lovely

[DodgyGeezer]

Bridge Classics have a Bentley W12 competition 3,750:1 might be worth a punt....

[The Rotrex Kid]

Oh FFS I wish I hasn't seen that R34

[SteRB5138]

DCG have a right line up at the moment.

Mk1 Ford Escort on 48 dcoe's
Nissan Skyline R34
Liquid Yellow Clio 182

I make it £410 if I entered the maximum entries on those 3!

R34 GTR is nice but not a keeper and certainly not a car id like to use as good as it maybe.
However if it was stock - engine wise atleast I may take a punt. Them cars are big bills, although its kool saying your rocking around in a stroked engine until it goes wrong.

A chap on Instagram, ben_scenemedia, (photographer for Top Gear) has one that was running similar power.
He suffered from a detonated engine and documents that it has cost him an absolute fortune, never ending it seems.

I was looking at the R34 last night on DCG. I resisted it’s beauty. And pretty much bought tickets for everything else

Back in the game.


ETA it’s sold out.

Most of the time this is purely down to poor mapping or using an old style ecu with no fail safes.

this is mapped by the best guy for an RB

I've gone for two tickets on the R34 I couldn't resist it's certainly one of my dream cars, no matter the money pit they may or may not be... Just look at it

[Black AMG45s]

I have not gone for R34 but Revcoms have just put up a Trackhawk

Hopefully comes with £10k cash so you can afford to drive it home.

[TheJimi]

I'd definitely take the cash over the Trackhawk. Really not my thing at all.

[joropug]

Not sure I see the appeal of the track hawk myself! Would be too big and fast for any fun in twisty roads, would just lose your licence with all our cameras in a straight line!

Hence why the Clio on DCG is my pick of the week.
Superb little b road blaster.

In for the DCG VW van, that would be a keeper.

It's literally perfect isn't it - Love the interior details.

Out of interest what is the general feeling about winning a classic if you haven't got a garage. Would you pay for storage or just let it get wet, maybe not drive it on the salty roads and hope that's enough.

It looks so perfect I wouldn't want to get any dirt on it!

[joropug]

Ha - Totally, but it's a car you could have more fun with at slower speeds/twisties which you simply couldn't achieve in the track hawk.

[EyeHeartSpellin]

Oh my god that Escort is filth. Have to get a ticket for that lol
