rantingYoof Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 This is going well. It's a perfect raffle; nice car, bit risky sounding potential issues (rattle), impractical for daily use (a/c), but cheap enough to take a chance on enjoying a nice car. Roll up! I hope that's how people are viewing it. I really want to emphasise that if you told me I'd have to do 400 miles tomorrow in it I'd have absolutely zero PHEAR. I've done 20k in it with no FTPs, putting several hundred miles on it at a time in hot weather (i.e. Devon/Wales) with absolutely nothing remarkable happening. It's still my daily driver/commuter and site visit transport while this is all going on. Basically, I don't drive it tentatively waiting for a 'bang' and you'd have to be desperately, wildly unlucky for it to FTP for you on the way back. Supernaut will hopefully vouch for how non-explodey it sounds. The seats are indeed wonderfully comfy, particularly when there's not a heatwave. Should be noted (from the photos) that the heated seat buttons are blanked for mild infuriation... Anyway, the latest glut of tickets brings us over the half way point! 12 retropnaed3 aldo1354 Kringle56 CortinaDave78 Snagglepuss9 davehedgehog311011 richardthestag1213 aldo13514 Kringle15 Floatylight16 Snagglepuss17 DeeJay18 Tickman19 ruffgeezer20 Shandylegs21 Jim Bell22 Fraz2324 Kringle252627 Shandylegs28 Danterzza2930 aldo13531 Captain Furious323334 CortinaDave3536 retropnaed37 83C38 Flat439 davehedgehog31404142 njgleeds43 njgleeds4445 Simonsays46 Mr_Bo11ox4748 outlaw11849 Simonsays50 AlsoMike51 New POD52 brodders5354 loserone5556575859 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks njgleeds; you are right, I'm 5 minutes from 15a of the M1. Can pick up from Northampton/Wellingborough railway stations, too. If you're doing a hardcore collection mission there's a bus stop 30 seconds from my house.

I am waiting for a PM from someone who expressed an interest at the weekend, but if the roffle fills out before they get back to me, the roffle will be honoured and you can all experience the Saturday night clench .

rantingYoof Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Second potential buyer is out, so roffle or nothing unless I get another tempting insult. Also forgot to add Bramz's's's ticket, which I'll do when I have a desktop again. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I pay for a ticket? I'm new round here... 1. Numbers allocated2. Once all numbers sold, payment is made through paypal, details circulated via PM. DO NOT mention the word which Roffle is a corruption of or anything else like that.3. Clench sphincter4. The next National Lottery draw after all numbers paid will form the basis of the draw, the bonus ball is the winning number. 5. Collect car in a reasonable timeframe6.

rantingYoof Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Apologies for a mundane question but... do the back seats fold down? Yes, all rear seats fold to around 25 degrees (guess!) so you can put longer wider stuff in. It's a proper saloon with a ski-hatch at the back of the middle armrest. Boot is quite shallow but goes back a ways. It's a bit letter-boxish though, quite typical for a saloon I suppose. Down to the final ten now...number 40 was available. 12 retropnaed3 aldo1354 Kringle56 CortinaDave78 Snagglepuss9 davehedgehog311011 richardthestag12 Psycho Charlie Knobcheese13 aldo13514 Kringle15 Floatylight16 Snagglepuss17 DeeJay18 Tickman19 ruffgeezer20 Shandylegs21 Jim Bell22 Fraz23 keith77724 Kringle25 chatsharris2627 Shandylegs28 Danterzza29 pilninggas30 aldo13531 Captain Furious3233 keith77734 CortinaDave3536 retropnaed37 83C38 Flat439 davehedgehog3140 Gruber41 bramz742 njgleeds43 njgleeds44 chatsharris45 Simonsays46 Mr_Bo11ox47 nebuchenezer48 outlaw11849 Simonsays50 AlsoMike51 New POD52 brodders5354 loserone5556 Psycho Charlie Knobcheese5758 Alanism59 Alanism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Sorry for the radio silence, I had a promising lead (off the forum) which looks like it's fizzled out, unfortunately.I acknowledge that this modern S60 is up against stiff shite competition at the moment going by the amazing metal currently up for sale or roffle. The last three tickets brings the total left down to 7. To get this over the line and within a vague shot of a Saturday draw, I'm introducing a new offer... £8.50 a pop OR 2x tickets for £15! Don't worry, if you have already bought two tickets you will retrospectively benefit from this!12 retropnaed3 aldo1354 Kringle5 J-T6 CortinaDave78 Snagglepuss9 davehedgehog311011 richardthestag12 Psycho Charlie Knobcheese13 aldo13514 Kringle15 Floatylight16 Snagglepuss17 DeeJay18 Tickman19 ruffgeezer20 Shandylegs21 Jim Bell22 Fraz23 keith77724 Kringle25 chatsharris2627 Shandylegs28 Danterzza29 pilninggas30 aldo13531 Captain Furious3233 keith77734 CortinaDave35 CortinaDave36 retropnaed37 83C38 Flat439 davehedgehog3140 Gruber41 bramz742 njgleeds43 njgleeds44 chatsharris45 Simonsays46 Mr_Bo11ox47 nebuchenezer48 outlaw11849 Simonsays50 AlsoMike51 New POD52 brodders53 3VOM54 loserone5556 Psycho Charlie Knobcheese5758 Alanism59 Alanism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
