There are a few secure vehicle storage places near to us.

The Morgan comes with a years free storage as part of the prize.

I looked at it for my 911, I was going to tuck it away and just forget about it and my kids could collect it in a few decades, but in the end it wasn't a particularly special one and I didn't think it worth the investment, I sold it for more than I paid and bought a bond, which with compound interest will probably be better than any car on the long run.

Storing a car as an investment isn't a great use of capital, even for the very special ones, you can make a bit, but if you actually work it out then more often your money could be better elsewhere.

Even charities make profits. That's small beer compared to banking and most of the comp companies are just normal people having a crack at earning big and making a few punters very happy long the way. I have no problems with that and wish them all well! Win is good. :thumbup:

I can’t get my head around that bike, the GasGas and Husqvarna version look lovely but the KTM version somehow looks awful.
Weird.

I’ll have a punt, I’d quite like one of those for the odd Sunday morning blast.

Revcomps have got an awesome do-as-you-likey package, Range Rover and caravan in one prize :D
I’ve put a fair bit of money their way, I usually have a go most weeks even if it’s just a watch or something.

Not quite the win I was hoping for, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

An MV Agusta Brutale RC.
Not as good as the Dragster IMO, the front end on the Brutale is too vague but the Dragster ergonomics mean you put more weight over the front end and it feels absolutely planted because of it.

Lovely looking thing... but that's Wayyyyyyy too rich for me personally. Not sure why, but i prefer the lower cost higher odds. But that said, since we started this thread i've only entered 3 events.
