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??
Mick

I've given it to the Wife as she was due an upgrade anyway as she has had her current Cooper for about 6 or 7 years now. One of these was on the radar, hence my buying the tickets for it. It's all worked out rather swimmingly really!

Clucking bell! Well done.

That's fab

I've got a lot of time for you based upon several of your posts and stuff, I'm really pleased for you

Well played.

Nice one, i've missed a few weeks of gambling but that's a great car. I did look at it for the wife as well, but i'm a fussy bastard and didn't buy any tickets as it's a diesel

Really well done

The daft bugger will just blow the money on deap heat cream, Wurthers Originals and shandy.

Ah, I took his post as a hopeful 'I've bought a ticket therefore I've won this.'

Nice one, I like the piano black interior, tints have moved on from the telephone black and white white of the 1960s.

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?

How about this one!

Rev Comps have delivered! Lovely car. Wife is going to be over the moon with it!!

Looks good mate, if the wife hasn’t seen it yet you could always Chuck it on gumtree before she gets home!
Nice win, and they got it to you pretty quick.
Enjoy.

My daughters friend works in a dealers and she said they'd be very interested in buying it, as apparently the Cooper S 2.0 diesel auto with the all-important JCW pack is very desirable? I must have gone soft in my old age as I couldn't do it to the wife. She is just too excited about getting this thing. Waiting for it to be delivered she has been like a kid counting down the sleeps until Xmas !

I know how she feels mate, I was the same with the camper. Always nice to get a new car, especially when it’s cost you nothing, pretty much. Is the Beemer going for sale now? You’ve had it a while.
Enjoy the win, all the best.
Mick

Yeah, sell the wife's old car and the beemer, then buy a nice folding tin top merc like all the cool kids have.

Been thinking about selling it for the last year tbh. Always liked it but never loved it iyswim? Just haven't got round to it - yet!

I love Mercs and that would be an ideal situation and there is a lovely e350 up the road to me...

E class is a rag top tho

You won't fit in the clique.

My CLK was a rag top and used to get algae on it as my driveway doesn't get much sunshine, so I am a bit reluctant, but they are a lot more reliable than a tin top. I think i'll stick the bimmer up for sale and see if and what it sells for and take it from there?
