The problem with driving either of those is that people would assume you're a drug dealer from Bradford.
Have you seen my BMW! :lol:

Potential options:
Take BOTH cars & £10,000 Tax-Free
Take the BMW X3M & £43,000
Take the Aston Martin Vantage S & £50,000
Take the cash Alternative instead of both prizes = £93,000 (Trade price for both cars)

I'd have the AM and the money!! Freaking awesome transfer for one vehicle!! :lol: :lol: Wonder how well it takes hairpins??!! :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

I did read the T&Cs on a comp ages ago and couldn't see anything about being a UK resident, but I probably wouldn't risk a ticket because I'm not and so either won't win or won't get the prize!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

I'm sure there was an incident on one of the big comp sites where a non-uk resident won, but didn't get the prize because he was an ex-pat?

I was once driving up the M606 to Bradistan and saw a flash car.

I'd genuinely be interested to know the back story there. How did they ever come to think to make that a prize?

Repossessions auction?
Fencing?
Bored night on ebay?

There are Irish comp sites that do these sort of prizes, ride on lawn mowers, diggers, even class 1 HGV units and they are good sellers, so maybe they thought they dip their toes into the waters of plant and HGVs as well?

Damnit, I've just (probably) wasted £1.98 on this because of you.

Yep, took about the same to pay mine in, you should get the motor early next week. You planning to keep the car, give it to the wife as you said last night or sell it on? Or not decided yet?
Can I claim the cost of my ticket back from you??

He's probably gone out to buy a pair of fluffy dice and an air freshener shaped like a christmas tree. :D
