Roffle Peugeot 405 1.9TD - Going Home.

[Jim Bell]

 Fly up there, have a wee holiday

 

 

I'm not familiar with that kind of holiday. It sounds more German than French if you ask me.

 

[JohnK]

I'm tempted to offer a French delivery service. Truck is on the road again as of today and I could pick up some French chod to return to UK

Be cheaper to drive it?  Gets over 500 miles on a tank on local driving.  Surely mega-moar at a steady pace.

Just find something that can be driven back.

Tempting ...

[trigger]

Get Dave to find a cheap car over there, he drives it here and then drives Pug of win back.

[Jim Bell]

Tempting ...

 

Theres three quarters of a tank in now.

 

Thatd see you halfway.

[ShiteRider]

Best roffle of ever!

If someone wants to make a sensible offer on the Metro, that could be Johns return ride / payload.

[JohnK]

Dave numbers - find me a quirky (cheap) car

[dave21478]

checking the options.....

 

[omegod]

Dave if you're flying into Liverpool I'll happily take you from airport to train station, bring me a nice bit of cheese though pls

[RichardK]

so......

I have family up Aberdeen way, so have a few choices. Fly up there, have a wee holiday and during this train down to Newcastle for collection then drive it home.

Or, fly to......I dunno, probably Liverpool is the closest from airports near me, train over, collect and either head home or head up and see family.

 

How soon do you need it shifted? I have a work thing here I cant miss on or around the 11th Nov.

 

Can you really not just fly into Newcastle Airport? That's crazy. Shall I post the Mini up so it's with the 405?

 

Also, PHEW.

[MrDuke]

Well done Dave!
 
 
 
 
Oh, but there's another winner!!!
 
Yeah, the other 58 numbers thought they were safe from unwanted crap, but no-one gets away that easily...
 

 
Yeah, you'd best be worried mo'fo'.
 
 
So anyway, I promised a fair* draw with photos and shizzle:
 





And in the interests of fairness, this lazy freeloading slapper will be earning her keep by picking the lucky* winner:




The paper has been jumbled up and hurled violently at her:




And the winner is............




Mr InThe Welder!!!!!!

Let me know what car you'd like me to draw for you. I'd love to promise a sober effort, but Asda have Jim Beam Devil's Cut reduced, so it probably won't be pretty.

I'll also need an address. Remember, the more reticent you are, the more horrific the contents of the eventual parcel.

I'm off to wrap up some tiny Wartburgs and Volgas before bed. 

[purplebargeken]

Thank fuck for that.

 

I was distracted enough to have forgotten. I then remembered. 

[skattrd]

Best

Raffle

Ever

 

International winner is the perfect result.

[Louise2cv]

Hmmm

 

I was a bit disappointed that it didn't turn into a spiraling cascade of chod exchange/marital distress, but I think an international winner is pretty good alternative.

[skattrd]

Mr_Wilson did everyone pay up?

[Cavcraft]

Congrat's to Dave, that's a fab result.

[Jim Bell]

Mr_Wilson did everyone pay up?

All but two, who have promised to pay next week when the situation allows. Which is fine by me.

[Lacquer Peel]

You can easily get 700+ miles to a tank if you lay off the turbo and cruise with the lorries.

 

 

That was on veg too, maybe you could pass by 320touring's veg supplier on the way home if you're going via Aberdeen.

[dave21478]

Its going to be a short trip - I will fly over and drive straight home. I have work commitments in November I need to be back here for, and its a long drive up from Newcastle to Aberdeen and then back down.

 

The flight was cheap, ferry is normal price (more than the bloody flight!), 1.5 tanks of dizzle, a carrier bag full of petrol station sandwiches.....its not a bank breaker and the car looks to be well worth it.

An estate is ideal for me and selling the Escort estate will cover my costs on this venture, so its a free upgrade, I suppose.

 

RHD is a minor bind, and I will have the registration costs but thats par for the course here.

 

I am really rather looking forwards to it!

[catsinthewelder]

I wish to add to the confusion, for I too have lots of crap getting in my way am filled with the spirit of generous giving.

 

Upon the drawing of the balls this Saturday, I will carry out my own mini-draw using the numbers of the 6 main balls. I'm not sure precisely what form this draw will take, but photographic proof of fairness will be posted. The winner will receive a box of Things from me, all of which will be tenuously $hite-related.

 

The Things will include (but not necessarily be limited to):

     * An assortment of die-cast Soviet chod from Poundland, some of which may be slightly damaged

     * A very dirty pair of Hilka mole-grips

     * A promotional Lada Riva pin-badge

     * A spanner, plucked at random from my 'spares' drawer

     * A pair of 'Holley' stickers

     * A pencil drawing of a car of the winner's choice, done either with or without the aid* of alcoholic beverages

 

This is non-negotiable. The person whose name appears next to the drawn number is under legal and moral obligation to accept this prize, and failure to contact me will result in my tracking them down with at least 2 more boxes of useless crap from the back of my shed. You have been warned.

 

Wow I'd completely forgotten about this so was well pleased to see I'd won something (and Ms C had calmed down when she realised that the biggest car was 4" long)

 

In the spirt of 'jim will paint it'  please could you draw a picture of Jeremy Corbyn collecting a Dacia 1310 from Putin.

 

I shall PM an address

[the judge]

Right then. Which bastard won the fruit machine? Get it shifted now!!!

[flat4alfa]

After getting all excited, now it's dawned on me I've lost £36

[MrDuke]

Meh, just pretend you had 5 pints at a trendy bar on Saturday night. If that doesn't depress you even more, that is.

[Jim Bell]

No refunds!

This is the second roffle I would have loved to win although with one ticket was a long shot I know,

Strange thing is both where from wilsonpees

Are you REALLY in French France?

 

 

I feel sorry for the poor fucker who has to pay postage on two bottles of Valhalla Ale from Shetland to the south of France.

 

That'll teach you.

The postage cost would be the same if the sender was in Dover and the recipient in Calais.
