Honey Badger Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Put me down for 2 lucky dips please, I can't resist any longer. This has nothing to do with the fact I need a new fuel relay for my coupe......
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Heheh! It had a spare one for repairing, too - I found the new one cable tied up and the old one still on the bracket. I'll double check the spare is still in the car - I think I left it in the centre cubby.
dean36014 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Go on, feeling lucky I'll have another lucky dip, payment on way.
dean36014 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 To be truthful, if i win I'm looking forward to seeing the collection! Miss having something to tinker with, the joys of getting divorced and losing my house but more importantly the double garage I spent most my life tinkering in!
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 You could always just visit without having to risk acquiring a car. But too late now, there's a 1/29.5 chance of you ending up with a Honda Accord...
dean36014 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Haha, good odds then. Still seems strange not being able to break out the welder, five years now and still not fully back on feet. Your not far from me so might take you up on that offer. Used to work at Magna park for six years dean36014 1
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 So close! Come on, someone must want those last 3 tickets - then we can have a Wednesday evening draw and what must be one of the fastest Roffles ever, thus proving the inherent desirability of a stylophone Honda Accord VII Coupé. taxi paul and Sigmund Fraud 2

Your not far from me so might take you up on that offer. Used to work at Magna park for six years Want to teach me how not to set fire to everything with a Mig?
dean36014 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Cleanliness is next to godliness I found. The better the metal the easier it is to weld. Biggest improvement I found in learning to weld was buying a decent welder. Got an ex Peugeot factory butters mig welder. Thing was huge, took full size bottles with ease. Welded beautifully, and definitely made it easier for a mediocre welder to look good! Bear 1
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 I have a small welder, but with small gas bottle. Yet to even fit the plug, but I shall obtain some clean new metal to stick together. I'm guessing clamps and things also help lots.
dean36014 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Reckon a 1/29.5 odds need bettering, stick me down for another lucky dip. payment incoming.
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Thankyou - just two numbers remaining and three numbers waiting for payment. TBH - if those are paid, the raffle goes ahead and I'll pick someone/s random for those last numbers. It could be ANYONE. Like, the last person to post on a particular thread. Or the first person I see using the word unambiguous... unless they sell, of course eddyramrod 1
Bobthebeard Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Edit.. £4. Will have two please. Paypal details pleeze
Sigmund Fraud Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Great stuff ! Tomorrow evening, one of us will have the pleasure of breaking the news to their better half : "Dear, I've won a stylophone in a raffle... I'll need to travel to Lutterworth this weekend to pick it up.""Lutterworth ? Why can't they just post it to you ?""Well... Erm... It kind of comes with a complimentary car..." Bear and anonymous user 2
Bobthebeard Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Can you not do the draw now please.... (Anxious of Lytham)
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 I'll ask the lottery guys if they'll bring it forward
Bobthebeard Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Ok....... C'mon lottery guys.... Now is a good time
Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Yeay! We have achieved Roffle perfection in less than a week! Someone is going to win* a Honda Accord! Tam, beko1987 and Alanism 3
Honey Badger Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I'm going to have to drop out of the raffle, so you can allocate my numbers to some other lucky* random shiter and they can have a free chance to win this fine vehicle on me.

Oh noes! It's the risk of being overheard playing that Stylophone, isn't it
Honey Badger Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Oh noes! It's the risk of being overheard playing that Stylophone, isn't it Possible suggestions of the use of the Polaroid to the wife, and the the overly violent reaction from her may be the reason. Real reason is that I fucked my back again last night, I can't tie my shoelaces at the moment so I certainly can't fix calipers or even sit in a car for long enough to pick it up, though if the new owner wants to send the spare relay my way I'm happy to send a few beer tokens. Bear 1
Bear Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Damn, was looking forward to those pictures. *sigh*(Not liking the fucked back).Let me see how many relays I have. There might be another one lurking for all I know. So. Tickets to existing participants to increase their chances, or tickets to total randoms? Your tickets, your choice. I'm tempted to pick the two obvious classic car scribblers and give each of them the risk of Honda glory in their future... beko1987 and eddyramrod 2
dean36014 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 First roffle entered, excited mucho Annoyingly I'll be at work when the draw happens so will have no idea if I win or not until tomorrow morning!

Altenatively, the PBK model could be used again : If Mr.Badger does win the car, he can offer it to a fellow shitter, in exchange for a decent donation to a charity of his choice ? eddyramrod 1

After sitting on my Drive for the last 6 months while I keep saying I'll get round to fixing that when I'm better. I'm happy to keep my name in and let it go to the first person who makes a £50 contribution towards the upkeep of the forum (after I've nicked the fuel pump relay). I can't praise these cars enough to be honest, my V6 coupe has been great for the last 3 years and it's so comfortable and relaxing after a day at work to waft home, though wafting rarely happens as I rag the arse of it all the time as it makes a great noise. beko1987, Sigmund Fraud and gadgetgricey 3
Jim Bell Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I think I've got a relay that I ordered from China (eBay) in case PO lost the Accord one I sent for refurb. PM me your address HB and I'll post it down. It's untested obv, but it looks identical to OEM and is brand new. eddyramrod 1
