LOL deffo. I know you mostly do yours for the cash-out prize, but i only enter things that actually would be of use to me. This one would be ace for race days for me and the boy, although less use when we need 2 bikes and clean ones at that... but for a race day it could actually work.

Well none of their prizes go un won, so it could well be you. Fingers crossed! :thumbup: They run a XC event near me at times and you often see these and cars, with bike racks on the back!

That McLaren is also the absolute base model they do as well, so you'd look like a peasant :(

I keep entering comps to win a Porsche Macan as its about the only car I actually want and would use. Before long I may just as well buy one, considering amount of times I've entered!

Comp companies were doing a lot of EVs at one point, mainly Teslas but few Taycans and e-trons, but I think the sales were disappointing compared to their ICE counterparts as they don't seem to do them so often now? That said 7 Day Performance did a Taycan the other week and it did really well!

Ooooo :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Although, given what friends have said about the headset and my experience in the driving sim, I think I’d be too sick to drive the real one!!

Can I just fast forward to getting the keys and driving for real 😇😇😇😇
