Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
I enter a few of these comps, mainly the 99p ones that I've got no hope of winning.
I like to think that I'd take the cars, but in all honesty, in a lot of the cases, i'd probably have the cash. That would be a bigger gain for me than a car.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
As soon as the value of the vehicle is over £50k then I'd rather have the money anyway, I don't want any more than that sitting in one asset on the driveway, I'm done with all that, it's all about the retirement fund now.
I measure everything in how many years bills and food money it would pay for in retirement.

I bet it's fun to drive (for half an hour) but I always think that things like that are trying too hard and you'd look a twat driving it.
I think I've just gotten old

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
It's a completely different vibe, if you drive down the road in that car, or a souped up Impreza or a Ferrari 458 you're going to get a bunch of people who think you're a wanker, whereas in something like a Caterham or Morgan all you'll get is waves and thumbs up.
Not that I really care much what people think, but that's how it is.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
That doesn't normally happen.
I watched a youtube review of a Ferrari 355 yesterday and the fella was saying that they've now passed into 'classic' territory, so you can drive them through town without people mouthing the word "wanker" at you, whereas in any newer sort of blinged up sportscar you'll still get it.
Kit cars seem to fall into the classic bracket, where you don't generally get it.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
I'd have a (petrol) Q8...but not that blinged up 'footballers wife' version. Even looked, half seriously, at s/h Q7s but they only had diesels and they all had higher mileages than my current car. Not really worth the additional fixed costs for doing 5-6k miles pa.
That's half the problem with these raffles, there's loads of faffed about with stuff and hole-in-the-pocket exotica (or exo£ica).

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
People like Dream Car Giveaways and Xclusive actually modify a lot of their cars to make them more attractive. I guess they must get better ticket sales by doing so?Count Steer wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 1:53 pm I'd have a (petrol) Q8...but not that blinged up 'footballers wife' version.

I've thought people are wankers because of how they're driving, but never because of what they're driving!Potter wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 10:07 amThat doesn't normally happen.

I'm judgemental, if I see someone driving the below type of motor then I reserve the right to make an on the spot judgement that they're a bit of a twat.

It's the one headlight which really makes it.
Mate had an MR2 like that, they always went opposite ways.
