Sold 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - Sold to the man with the most tickets

[Junkman]

 

That would require 8-track, though.

[purplebargeken]

Fuggit, can I have 44 too please. 

[purplebargeken]

Bastard raffles are addictive.

[wuvvum]

I discovered another new feature on this today.  When you run it really low on fuel, the last bar of the fuel gauge disappears and the word "LOW" starts flashing.  Fortunately I was already on my way to the petrol station when this occurred - I don't know how far the car would go in flashing mode, but my guess is not very.

[wuvvum]

OK, this isn't going to work, is it?  Thanks to all who expressed an interest, but it looks like the old crate is staying put until I can get round to MOTing it.

[eddyramrod]

You must do what you think best, but if you do decide to raffle it off, I'm still in.

[wuvvum]

I have no problem with raffling it off, but there's still 18 "tickets" to be sold and it'd all have to be done and dusted (including payments) before Wednesday's draw, or it'll be out of MOT before it can be collected, and I don't think another 18 people are going to jump in within the next 48 hours.  Maybe it's just a bit too obscure of a car, I dunno.

[purplebargeken]

Well I'd still be raffle interested if anything changes.

[Sealtainn]

If you decide to raffle it when it's MoT'd, I'd still be interested in several tickets

[eddyramrod]

Yes, it probably is a bit "specialist" for some people.  Are you going to go for MoT?

[wuvvum]

I'll probably end up sticking it in for an MOT in the next couple of months.  Obviously with a year's test the price will have to go up somewhat though.

[DodgyBastard]

What does it matter about the mot? If it had no mot and I was to win the raffle I would just insure it and book it in for an mot at my local station and drive it home.

Best of luck...

 

13 for me, thought I'd already grabbed a number?

 

let me know details, bank, paypal, first born..

[Sealtainn]

Good point, I'd forgotten about the "drive to pre-booked MoT" rule when it's run out.

Wonder if that counts if I book it up here in Shetland and the driving straight to involves 14hrs on an overnight ferry?

i dont even know what im betting on anymore - i'm addicted 

[wuvvum]

Furry muff.  I'll leave this running for now then - as long as everyone would be happy with the pre-booked MOT thing?

[Cavcraft]

Are you arsed if the winner arranges to have it weighed in? If not I'll buy another ticket.

[Jerzy Woking]

About 15 miles NE of Norwich.

You never know Billy, you might like it if you drove it.  It's basically an overgrown Cavalier after all.

I still haven't managed to get the boot open.

[Cavcraft]

I'd love to drive it for a while, I'm just too lazy to come and get it if I win.

 

Unless I hired a transporter trailer for our weeks holiday in Cromer in August.

[stillOrange]

Cav. I'll be happy to drive it for you to Chester as long as you cover the cost of petrol.

[purplebargeken]

How goes the raffleage for this beastie?

[wuvvum]

Still 16 numbers to go - although if we get to within about 5 of the total I'll probably go ahead.

[320touring]

38 for I thanks.

 

out of interest how easy is it to insure?

[wuvvum]

I've not actually tried to insure it individually, I've just stuck it on my trader's, but from past experience there's plenty of specialist insurers who cover Yanks, usually quite cheaply, albeit often with mileage limitations etc.
