Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
It's a nope from me, the 488 is massive, it's as wide as it is long and you'd get stuck down a country lane if something was coming the other way.
And the Golf is chavtastic.
I'd take the cash.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
all day long.
Not a fan of PDK but that’s a go anywhere, drive all day long, car that will probably outlive us all.
I’m somewhat shocked to find out after all these years that I’m a Porsche man, but they’re just so good.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
I've bagged a ticket now. I bet i'd take the cash alternative, but you've got me tempted to run it for a while at least...

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
A lot of these sites irk me slightly with the van comps.
https://7daysperformance.co.uk/product/ ... -msrt-2000
I don't want or need an MSRT, it's not an actual van !!! It's a massive car with a massive boot (yes i know this sort of defines van anyway).
But you can't get anything worthwhile in it, plus only 2 seats at the front... it's pretty sodding pointless.
What we need is a nice LWB Transit Custom... I didn't win the Orange one last week... so need more of that and less of the MSRT models

I guess the ticket sales must have pushed them that way, but they all used to do normal vans, lwb crafters, transits etc?weeksy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 8:19 am A lot of these sites irk me slightly with the van comps.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
On almost every car I'd take the cash alternative but on that I'd take the car without hesitation, I'd run it for a year and then get a good whack of cash back. I don't think it's an 'investment' car so it might depreciate a bit but I don't know, I had a bog standard C2 and got a load more when I sold it than I bought it for, although I think the market has had a bit of a down turn.
That's such a good car though I could see it staying in my collection forever.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
I'd be interested to know how many winners take the cash and how may take the car, and for the latter how long they keep the car.
I admit to entering one of these, it was for the Bultaco, nothing else has even tickled my fancy. That van^, nice but I want three seats, steel wheels and I'm not that bothered by moar power.

Hmm, might offset some of the plummeting residual of my Velar, so perhaps i should keep it if I win it...Potter wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 9:01 amOn almost every car I'd take the cash alternative but on that I'd take the car without hesitation, I'd run it for a year and then get a good whack of cash back.

I think you can check the winners and what option they take on the website, I think the majority take the cash.cheb wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 9:06 am I'd be interested to know how many winners take the cash and how may take the car, and for the latter how long they keep the car.

Thanks. It's the sort of thing I think about doing when timewasting but by then I've forgotten I wanted to do it.Potter wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 9:33 amI think you can check the winners and what option they take on the website, I think the majority take the cash.cheb wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 9:06 am I'd be interested to know how many winners take the cash and how may take the car, and for the latter how long they keep the car.

Yep, most of them take the cash.
Some of the comp sites really don't like my FF preferences, I frequently get 403 pages, the Bultaco comp site I had to view in test mode. Understandable but mildly vexing.

I'm having a tickle on the Track Hawk draw, I'd love to keep it for a week or 3 but the insurance would be a ball ache, so easy option is taking the cash

Although, after comparing the meerkat, 700 quid fully comp for a 6.2 liter V8 ain't that daft or OTTMrLongbeard wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 10:40 am I'm having a tickle on the Track Hawk draw, I'd love to keep it for a week or 3 but the insurance would be a ball ache, so easy option is taking the cash

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
That looks like a good deal, you could probably get £200k selling those. I’m sure a 488 is at least a £150k car, even in that ghastly colour.
