    In case anyone wins in and doesn't want to keep it......

    webuyanycar.com will offer you £17,185 for it (bit of a loss from the £24,525 they cost to buy)

    The ICE for the enclosure cost a minimum of £18,000. Ice isn't cheap.
  • Each cubic metre of ice weighs 917kg.
    I figured the blocks were of standard size I.e. 100cm x 50cm x 25cm
    Each side seems to be 4.8 blocks long and 4 blocks high
    The ends are 3 blocks wide by 4 blocks high but you need to subtract the width of the walls as the ends are dovetailed
    I figured the roof blocks were half thickness and there was no floor
    My total came out around 6150 kgs including the car. God knows if that is anywhere near or if I have overloaded my mind for nothing
    Good luck all :-)

    Not sure where you got this figure from but could have been closer I wanted to round it up to 11100 although seems like I was 1 120kg block off.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
  • Winner and correct weight have been announced on the skoda Facebook page. I was way off my guess was 13,034

    A huge congratulations to Elaine Mendes who has won a brand new Yeti Outdoor! She guessed that the ice weighed 11,185kg and she was absolutely spot on!
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
