A couple of people on here have won. Someone got a V4 Tuono, I can't remember the other winner.
636mick won a campervan! Bloke up the road to here won a Jag on Revcomps. A colleagues neighbour won an Evoque on one of the bigger sites.
Ooh! I'll shake the piggy bank. Some of these look worth a punt in a 'probably wouldn't buy one but...' sort of way.

I think I've entered two in total....mostly cause they're things I would consider buying, but not that seriously. It was a Tesla 3 and a CB1000R. Both things I might conceivably buy and which are alot easier to justify if they're only a fiver.
Actually....I also entered one to win a Hulk Submariner. But that was mostly to get an appreciating asset for silly cheap, I don't actually want a chunky green Rolex.

I’ve won two bikes over the years through a smaller independent one, don’t do them any more though.

TBF, I'd want to keep it long enough to try it on some of the roads around here, but the reality is that the money would be far more useful!! LOL

That Lambo is a bloody monstrosity!! I'm really not a Lamborghini fan anyway mind you.
The £135k would be quite nice though.

For Mr KTM lover!
£6.97 a ticket for this one!
https://www.revcomps.com/product/2019-k ... iUOCIkDlYY
99p a ticket for this!
https://7daysperformance.co.uk/product/win-ktm-99p
Whilst I haven't had a punt for a while, I think i'll take one ticket on the Lambo when they discount it. I'll be taking the cash alternative obvs!

Love that SMC-R, well, apart from the stupid spokes that is.
I'd buy it, let alone win it

Are they actual spokes or a clip on cover thing? They look too fat to be normal spokes?

To answer my own question, they are "spoke Coats"!

Imagine winning this brace of goodies for under a tenner!

I like the way I give you options. I'd take the Bimmer and cash as the AM is a manual, ack spit and I couldn't get in and out of it anyway!
Potential options:
Take BOTH cars & £10,000 Tax-Free
Take the BMW X3M & £43,000
Take the Aston Martin Vantage S & £50,000
Take the cash Alternative instead of both prizes = £93,000 (Trade price for both cars)

Or this McLaren? Personally, I think they're ugly, but then i'd be taking the cash alternative had I A. Won. B. Bought a ticket.

I think those McLarens look great, even more so in the flesh. They're just too much for the road though, stupidly fast.
Plus that particular one needs some adjustment on the door, I can't imagine it left Woking like that. It's a carbon structure so unlikely to be bent per se (the hinges could be bent i suppose) but the way it sits doesn't fill me with confidence. Maybe they just didn't shut it fully

Something about McLarens I just don't like. They have a roundy look to them and the roofline looks a bit Toyota coupe? I'm aware I'm probably in a class of one for this...
