Unfortunately I've just put in my order for a new car through work. If I back out now I'm barred from the scheme for life :o

Well technically I suppose it's only for the duration of my career at this particular OEM. But, still...

I'm feeling lucky so have ventured £4.99! 8-) Plus there would be a delicious irony in winning a car I couldn't get into! :lol: I'd compensate myself admirably with the £125k though...

Just spoke to my Daughter and she said they are probably going to cash the car in and use it as a deposit for bigger house! WBAC values it at £24k, but they'll have a punt around. Fantastic shot in the arm for a hard working young couple. So pleased for them!
