Crikey it’s good job I’m penniless I’ve always liked these.

[Wack]

Perhaps you need to add it to the low cost big liability thread now

[cort16]

It was born for that thread !

Nnnggghhhh

 

Something would need to go to make room for this

or some really long ramps and a roof rack

[Guest Hooli]

Warmer than a roof tent for overlanding & doubles as a lifeboat if* it breaks down.

[Wack]

all the big jobs have been done ,to summarise

Engine done about 90k

RR done 152k

Tyres have 10mm

Mot to April 19

Gearbox reconditioned about 5 years ago

Suspension done 2016

Decent spec

Sunroof working

A.c. working but direction wants looking at

Front and rear parking sensors both working

Air suspension stays up even if left for days so no leaks

Really nice sounding stereo

Engine sweet as

4 electric windows working

Remote locking working

Steering wheel controls

Cruise control works

Heated front windscreen only 1/2 works and it's the wrong half

I saw one of these driving about the other day, on about an 03 plate. blacked out windows and a piece of laminated A4 paper sellotaped to the outside of the rear screen saying 'SORRY NO TURN SIGNALS'. Also smoking like a mutha.

 

Ha Ha I saw that driving about Ashbourne and it made me laugh. I did pass him and all I had was a 'suspension fault' on my dash so I felt superior.

Bear with me here...I've thought about this before as a way of getting selling teresting yet justifiably pricey vehicles (while wondering how to get rid of the Volvo)...

• A roffle, possible numbers from 2 to 118 inclusive, ticket cost £21.50 (you'd get £2515.50).
• The winner of the roffle is then the person who chooses the number which becomes the total from adding up the number on two consecutive bonus balls (i.e. a Wednesday + a Saturday).

i.e., if The Moog () chooses number 78, and the bonus ball numbers are 20 and then 58, he would win*.

 

You couldn't allow people to choose 1 for obvious reasons. But you remain just as likely to win with 2 as you do with 118 so I don't see how it disadvantages anyone.

 

The upsides are that the tickets are affordable*, but it should take a while (as long as the nutters stay away) to fill the 117 tickets up and in that time you can still enjoy smoking about in it and feeling uncertain about selling it.

 

Honestly, this is one of the best* ideas ever and as long as I have no part in its organisation it should be quite fun to watch and the draw-night nerves would be shart-tacular.

 

 

 

I bear no responsiblity for loss of hair/relationship or any other maladies that come about from actually listening to this silly bit of advice

[Wack]

Sounds overly complicated

 

I mentioned it to Steve the mechanic , he's currently sorting through all the crap in his yard to see if he can get enough funds together for it but it could be weeks

[Guest Hooli]

*Awaits Kiltox 'swap for panda?'*

[Wack]

It doesn't want to be sold, since I've had it the blower has been on your feet then after a while there's a click click whoosh and its vents and screen until you turn it off then something resets and it goes back to feet

 

today I turn it on and it's fine, vents, feet, screen, wherever you want it, I'll have to start talking nicely to it 

[Wack]

*Awaits Kiltox 'swap for porsche?'*

we can only hope

[Kiltox]

I’ll swap the Porsche for one of your fleet but not that one

Did you really want a b-class?

I like the thinking outside the box but this method doesn't work, the chances aren't even. If you pick number 2 you only have a 1 in 3481 chance of winning, same for 118, but chances are much higher for the mid range numbers.

[rantingYoof]

Damn maths.

Don’t suppose you fancy a piece of classic mid 90s Mercedes coupe shaped engineering with a 5 litre V8 and crusty front wings?

As tempting as you've made it sound I'm going to have to pass , I'm weaning myself down to two cars and a van , it makes everything simpler

Lets say i picked 2. there is only one way of getting 2. Both balls would have to be 1. now lets say i pick 4

j could win if 1,3 or 2,2 or 3,1 so 3 different ways to win on that basis i'd pick 59 and 60 ?

[rantingYoof]

Yes. It's a dumb idea now, never should have been committed to pixels.

 

Back to the drawing board/school for me.

actually it would work if you pick the first number and then at the second draw pick any of the 59 numbers above that number.

 

on reflection that wont work

Sod the national lottery. use excel.

 

=RANDBETWEEN(1,118)

 

not open to abuse is it?

[Guest Hooli]

RAND? A Sarf afrekan roffle?

 

Can I have diplomatic immunity?

[Dan_ZTT]

You could use the double-lottery method but only if all numbers 2-118 are assigned randomly too, nobody gets to pick a specific number. Kind of like a sweepstake. Probably still overly complicated to admin though.

 

Regular roffle at £40 a ticket?...

[NorthernMonkey]

Easiest way to sell 118 numbers on one roffle draw is to effectively sell each number twice but with an ‘odd or even’ marker, then the winning number is the bonus ball number combined with the odd or even element of say the first number drawn.

[skattrd]

My circumstances are changing so I really can't justify something like this.

I don't suppose you fancy a metallic beige Maxima and a medium sized wedge of cash?

[Wack]

Sorry I have all the cars I need at the moment , if I needed one I'd just keep this , I do really like it , my plan was to sell the B class and get Mrs wack driving the RR but having watched some of her driving on the dashcam she'd probably come home with a MIcra stuck to the front complaining it's making a screeching sound
