gm Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 Only 8 lucky tickets remaining, well done team autoshite
Shirley Knott Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I'll have three randooms if it helps you out? In a similar arrangement to Jim it would have to be on the understanding that if I'm *lucky* enough to win, the car will instantly be dispatched to the good people at CarTakeBack I'm afraid. gm 1
Angrydicky Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 As much as I fancy an Almera, I'm going to be sensible and not buy any tickets because a) its a mk2 b) resale silver and c) I have absolutely no use for it. I'm also miles away down south and can't be arsed to make the journey. I know some will disagree, but I don't like the idea of people buying roffle tickets with the express purpose of scrapping the car and pocketing the proceeds. Aren't we all about keeping old cars going? This ones relatively presentable, Motd and appears to have loads of life left in it. The way I see it, if you don't really want the car just don't buy any tickets and save them for people who do want it. I feel a flaming incoming, but IDGAF. Good luck with the roffle eddyramrod, LightBulbFun, gm and 2 others 5

The way I see it, if you don't really want the car just don't buy any tickets and save them for people who do want it. I would like to make a statement of intent here. If I win this I will be lovingly changing the engine for a trusty weber carbed GA16 lump. I will then kick all of the windows out and it will get ragged around Barford Raceway. If Mr gm has a problem with this he can cancel my tickets. If not I will have another 3 rantingYoof, gm, loserone and 1 other 4
gm Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 the problem I have here is that it's been advertised for weeks and no one seems to want to buy it - I would have thought anything running and driving with 6 months mot would have been a prospect for someone but found myself looking at the cartakeback option too (they offered £150ish) this way, the car has a chance of living on with one of us and we get to have a bit of fun on the way. I hope the winner gets to enjoy the thrill* of a collection mission and takes it home to enjoy but whatever happens, I'll not be upset.

gm Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 ok folks, who's wanting the last two tickets ? we could be on for tomorrow nights draw

BL Bloke Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 If I win it I'll be taking it to Shitefest, which is 50 miles nearer to me than the car currently is. The last time I was in Chester le Street I was in my 1969 Maxi back in 1996 when the A30/A35 Owners Club held their national rally at Beamish. Paid. The Moog and gm 2
