Cavcraft Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 You know those competitions where you can win a Mk1 Escort with a Cosworth engine for £3.50 and all that bollocks? The ones that are a scam. Well, not all of them are. I've just taken my mate to near Manchester to collect a proper fucking nice Lambretta series 3 he won with 3 £1.99 'numbers'. They even gave him at least a couple of hundred quids worth of parts with it and the icing on the cake was chucking him £40 for the fuel to collect it. He's like a dog with 3 cocks, as you can imagine. Dave_Q, Coprolalia, rainagain and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 A friend at work won a transit custom for £7.99 a year or so ago through one of those competitions, they are legit although the odds are probably huge. He rear ended someone who brake tested him a few months ago though and it's still being repaired and he still has a hire car... 🤣😬 privatewire and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I won a 350bhp Skoda Citigo for a £10 ticket that I forgot I'd even bought in the first place! My cousins pal won a Ferrari a couple of years ago. He's a lardy arsed truck mechanic so when reality kicked in, he soon realised he had absolutely fuck all use for a Ferrari. Instead of just taking the cash alternative he rang round a few dealers to see what they'd offer and ended up with about 25% more than the cash alternative from the dealer that the competition company had actually sourced it from a few weeks prior. He picked it up on a Monday morning, had booked the week off work and was going to have a few days out in it before dropping it off at the dealers. He said within about 30 seconds of getting behind the wheel it turned from "wow I'm driving my own Ferrari" to "Shit, even a kerbed wheel will end up costing me ten grand" and he bottled it - just drove straight to the dealers as carefully as possible and chucked the keys at them.

Saabnut Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The Durham police were so impressed with my driving in my old Disco they have written and told me I am getting some points. Not just any points, these are special and are going to cost me £33.33 each and I am getting three. I am excited! Oh, wait......... Possibly the wrong thread here.......

cobblers Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I still waste £20/30 on these competitions every month, but I only enter for something that I would buy with my own money anyway and would actually keep if I won it. 106 Rallye, Defender, fast Audis etc. If there's a cash alternative I always steer clear too, feels a bit to much just like going down the bookies.

That's uncanny, I've had almost the exact same conversation with a mate I lift share with the other month! I'd shit myself if I win a lambo or ferrari 🤣 It'd be driven for a week or so under their 14 day free insurance just so I can say I've driven an x/y then fucking sold 🤣 It'd be bloody useless for what the xsra's just fucking hero's through!

Rust Collector Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 A grin which I forgot to mention at the time - my neighbours have gone away on holiday, and as usual I've offered to water the plants etc. whilst they're gone. After they left I got a text from them; 'we forgot to say before we left, but feel free to park your cars on our driveway whilst you're away if it helps you for space, it'll look like someone's home too'. It has actually been very helpful to have somewhere to park the moderns whilst I've been shunting shite around on my driveway.
