Bought a ticket for the A3. It seems ticket sales have slowed the last while. Hopefully they will draw a winner tomorrow.

Next door neighbour won that GTR skyline 3 or 4 weeks ago. It’s going to sit in a shed for a few years until it’s 30.

What.
A.
Car.

Which one?

Got a Whatsapp message this afternoon about the Lambo, Apparently someone hit a speed ramp and bust the sump on it. Must see if I can upload the message.

What a bummer...

Here’s what I got. Not the kinda car you’d be fixing on your driveway.

Ouch

I'd say they're sick they didn't take the money, it's a car that only a small handful of people would buy and they'd be buying from a dealer.....

Tickets were selling slow on the A3 so they are now giving a choice. I think i'd still take the A3 but the octavia looks nice too and less milage

I’d assume VRT wasn’t paid either

Have a ticket for the A3 ,Octavias do nothing for me and I know too many people with Tiguans

Yeah the Audi looks wise is far better inside and out. The Tiguan looks nice but I prefer something a little smaller.

Mc Love · 26-10-2020 04:24PM

The Skoda is definitely pick of the three

Is there anything about this particular car on RKings?

In fairness they would of gotten more for it even from selling it to the trade in the UK than the 100k Rkings was offering.

The mistake they made was giving it to some nimrod who doesn't specialise or has no experience selling prestige cars here or anywhere else. There is only a handful of dealers in Ireland who deal with such cars on a regular basis.

I hope whatever damage is done is easily rightable and the two lads who won it get their few pound out of it, it would be a really horrible thing to happen.

Must have hit it shocking hard to bust the sump at the rear of the car

Surprisingly easily done on speed bumps and they don't take a bump well as the welds tend to crack. A cracked sump isn't major damage it's just going to be very expensive on a Lamborghini as most repairs are an engine out job and then you have to wonder how far they drove before they realised they'd bust the sump. :eek:

I used to drive a 5 series which liked to go into limp mode at the first sign of frostbite, I’d imagine the Lamborghini lit up like Christmas once it start losing oil.

As far as I know, any raffles which do not have a charitable purpose aren’t legal in Ireland.

There were amendments to the gaming and lotteries act discussed in the Seanad before Christmas but I don’t know if that bit was changed recently.

They have a section where they mention the Charities they have funded, its small amounts and probably covers them from a legal standpoint.

They do seem to be legit though, I know someone who won a BMW m4 and have heard info on the Lambo

But they are essentially second hand cars with no warranty and your liable for VRT etc.

Wont stop me from entering some of their smaller draws, missed out on a 695 entry draw for an Evo 7 which would have been nice odds!

Yeah, when i wrote my reply i hadnt caught up entirely on the thread and seemed there was still a question mark of it

Congrats on the prize!

True although I believe the christmas tree is a standard feature on a Lamborghini.

Nothing would surprise me with it I'd say that cars had a hard life. I remember hearing it being driven and I'd say it's not a long way off needing a clutch, it shifted like a bag of spanners. Talking big money for those kind of things.

One car draw and a few 5euro phone and laptop draws per month, know of people spending hundreds a month,

I'm giving this a go as I've never won a sausage on Rkings

Who are the main competitors of Rkings?

Hard to know, FDR have a garage so they can put up good vehicles and as mentioned they will be VRT'd for you.

There is a Bear crowd too but I don't personally go near them anymore, have entered their Truck comps in the past, but just on the winners section on the site, the amount from Tyrone and Derry is staggering to me, but it could be just pure luck

McKinney comps usually have nice stuff too, Don't know of a winner from them, but I purchase an odd ticket there, like the 2019 7 berth motorhome that's currently up there at present and there is a Ferrari there too or £130K cash instead.

Nice Evo 6 on Ooosch at present too, had a white 2001 VI in the past so I purchased a ticket for her. And just incase anyone doesn't deal with them. Herself won a drone about a month ago with them. Delivered asap and all, no hassle, and yes that's the same lucky bird that won the X5 on RKings in June. I wouldn't mind only I would probably outspend her by 4:1 and she wins. In fairness I guess the stuff she usually puts a bid on is wont £5

TigerTim · 29-10-2020 12:12AM

I see some gang are raffling a De Lorean. Saw it on FB earlier. Can't remember the company name. Hadn't heard of them before.
