Are there new duties / tarrifs for UK imports in Jan to the south in Jan and will it impact on these UK draws?

How much extra will have to be paid ?

I would imagine it will be treated the same as importing a vehicle from Japan. You will have to pay Duty, VAT and VRT..... Might be better to take the cash alternative (if they offer one).

Lad I've been working with the last 5 years took a call today and it was his 19 year old son telling him he'd won a 2016 vw golf and 2 grand!! Lovely looking car (white).

Is he the lad from Meath all over what’s app with the car now in 5000 pieces?

Possibly VAT to be added.
But most silk just take the cash alternative then.

At least he has €2k to put towards rebuilding that wall!

Another R Kings winner ( and Loser )

Cahir Gardai observed a vehicle fishtailing conducting a dangerous manoeuvre outside the town in front of one of our patrol cars. The driver was subsequently arrested on suspicion of Dangerous Driving and has been charged to court

Was it a Golf R to begin with? It didn't look like one. A savage smash either way :eek:

Alright I'm gonna say it, letting youngfellas win high performance motors is a recepie for disaster, these lottery style competition companies need to be more responsible. There's a reason it costs a fortune to insure a youngfella on a corsa/micra/fiesta - it's because their brains are full of rocks. You may as well be raffling off a shotgun.

That’s some crash and damage, they much have been going seriously fast. Luck to be alive.

It's an rkings diesel golf. Probably around 200bhp, it didn't crash doing the speed limit. The engine landed a whole garden away.

No just the standard 1.6 diesel with about half that. I get it if they were driving a Golf R or something like but I don’t think you can blame R Kings for a bunch of young lads driving like idiots.

I remember the particular competition as it was recently. I was going to enter as they said it was a Golf R but then changed it to a R line TDi.
Perhaps it had 130bhp or whatever and I understand the point about not giving young lads fast cars and was just pointing out that I really don’t think this was the case here.

frozenfrozen

Sneaky if that's what they did because it still says golf r on the winners page if I'm looking at the right one

GustavoFring

Screen grab doing the rounds says Golf R too.

Extremely HIGh powered golf..... Well no not really but the insurance and journalists thinks so

Seriously lads, it’s no Golf R. How would a kid get insurance on a real R?

frozenfrozen

Which is this an r or r line

No, it was a golf R.

Some middle aged lad won the white tdi golf r-line.

That’s a bog standard diesel golf with upgraded wheels.

Have a look at the picture of the crashed car, it’s not a Golf R.
If you believe different that’s fine.
