    Congrats !!!

    I put in a bid on that car !!! Glad it went to someone on here.

    I would definitely shop around and think about what you do before you sell it - if there are only 8 it might be worth rather a lot.
    Ebay do have a free listing this weekend if that is the road you choose.

    Are you going to sell it or keep it?

    Unfortunately I'm not loaded enough to be able to keep it! I would if I could - would be a nice second car, but completely impractical for someone with two kids who is allergic to summer!

    I might be tempted, if I can get away with it (without reducing the value too much) to keep it for a few weeks, just so I could pose around in it a bit :D

    Then - if The Boro win tonight, my OH might be open to alllllllll sorts of suggestions! :D:D:eek::eek:

    I would sell it too. Hope you get a good price for it.

    Got a card through the post this morning - very nice and everything, but a bit spooky because I don't know who it is!! From someone called Denise in Leicester? Any takers? See - now I'm kicking myself that I didn't put a fake name/username on the Kitkash site, but who would have thought it! LOL. (plus, I'm not sure if they'd have sent a car to some weird made up name). :D

    I used to put a false name on competition entries until one day I won one and they sent the prize by recorded delivery and the post office wanted me to prove my identity. I have been putting my real name since then.

    :D:D How did you prove it in the end?!

    Maybe they should have had a "username" which was visible to all, and then a "real" name for their own records. But then, I wouldn't have felt a major urge to send a complete stranger a card, even if I did know their name! That's why I wondered if (a) it was someone I used to know but have forgotten about (quite possible!) or (b) it was someone from one of these boards who forgot to put their "handle" on. :rolleyes: But then, she seemed quite happy to put her full name, e-mail address, postal address and telephone number on it! ;)
