    7Days competitions in the UK are very very good. Entries from 99p that go ahead regardless of tickets sold. I was 4 numbers away from a revo tuned Fiesta ST last week... saw my name and all... this close.

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

    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.

    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.....

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

    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.

    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!

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