Better returnnon your stake with the Lambo but i'd not keep it. I'd like to think i'd bring it home for a month, but i'd probably just take any cash alternative.

With the amount of used/ modified vehicles in these competitions, I'm wondering if they are being used to get rid of vehicles they just can't sell !??

I'd say to an extent yes. But a novel way of doing it.

I'd have to have that delivered when it was dark, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with it.
What goes on in peoples heads - although I reckon someone built that, then stood back and realised how hideous it is and that's why they're giving it away.
As it stands it's no use to me as it's not ulez compliant, but then I thought that's actually the perfect thing to have in the garden as a second bike. I like that it's a bit left field and I reckon it.d be a hoot to ride for someone like me and my lack of riding skills! :lol: If I fancied a Sunday morning blat, unhook the optimate and away I'd go! So I've risked £3.99 on such a dream! :thumbup:

I won't buy a ticket for either, but if I had to choose, it's be the Kwak on rev comps site. I really like ,the retro looks of this z900rs!

I think BOTB checkout takes Paypal - bikes are in the lifestyle section

I occasionally do the lifestyle comp on BOTB for the Ducati V2 and the midweek car comp for the Alpine A110. both are "spot the bal" comps.
This thread has reminded me I haven't had a go for a few weeks!

Well, all I can say is thanks very much Revcomps.
Never having won anything in my life, and after reading this thread yesterday morning when I couldn’t sleep I invested some money, bought one ticket to win the “log cabin camper” .
Phone call last night, I won the camper plus £1000!
I have wanted a camper for about 30 years, never quite justified buying one, now I own one!!!
To say I am pleased would be a massive understatement, the girlfriend has already planned our first trip, off to Scotland.
Still can’t believe it.
Did I mention, it’s done out inside like a log cabin, complete with log burner!! Insurance could be fun.

Cheers,
Mick, one very very very happy man.
