Well, this competition has definitely given me some "interesting" replies. If I had my way I would have to give out a prize for "De Sol" for suggesting http://www.cashwinner.com . The design, content and "minimalism" of the site alone is outstanding. (you have to check the site out). Unfortunately seeing we won't be using it on Winacar I can't give you a prize!
The best competition submitted was easily the Limited Edition Tomb Raider Land Rover competition, but it was already on Winacar before the post was submitted...
And so the winner is "Dan2K1" for the £3000 worth of PC Stuff competition at pcgearmag.co.uk - Well done dude! Also this post was one of the rare few that included a description OF YOUR OWN and not cut and pasted from the site!
Sadly, 90% of all the competitions submitted were either already on winacar, were competitors to us, or the urls didn't exist (e.g. Win a Ford @ Sky Sports by Dan2k...)
But anyway, thanks everyone for your hard work, especially everyone who posted loads of urls.
cheers all,
Mark.

I have had to split the URL up, as it's more than 30 characters - so when you use it, just delete the spaces.
Right, another really simple competition, whereby all you have to do is answer the question "Who presents the game show Telly Addicts?" fill in your details, and you could be a whole Home Entertainment system better off! Should you get drawn out of the virtual hat, you'll be the victor of all the following:
JVC Camcorder, Olympus Digital Camera, Phillips TV, Phillips DVD player and a Phillips Micro Hi-Fi system.
Surely worth at least £1000 in total.
5 runner up prizes of a CD walkman too, so it's well worth a visit!
"Ah yes! Home-Ent System up for grabs!"
Thanks
Dan

I found this quite funny really - the top prize is a pair of Gabrielle tickets, with 20 runner up prizes of 'Pure and Simple'compilation album which includes Hear'say, and some talented artists to. Obvious which prize you'd prefer? Well just answer the simplest of all questions, fill in your details and hope that your name gets drawn! And of course, you must have the right answer!
'GABRIELLE TICKETS? It's Pure and Simple really!'
Right, the prize is worth about £60. Hurry up though, the concert is for the 6th July, so it's bound to end in a couple of weeks - so head there soon, I'd say before the 21st June.

Not only is it a unique guitar which can be heard on the band's debut album 'Paranoid and Sunburnt' which is also signed by the man himself, but also included are two signed polaroid shots of the band to complete the prize.

Cheers if you can reply.

Yes, I'm sorry about this. We advertised it with a free mains adaptor and then we were told it does not take a mains adaptor (no socket) so we bought a load of cases instead.
So the offer has changed and you can, of course, have your deposit back if you want it.
Or remind me when you get it and I'll see if we have any stock of mains adaptors (as it now appears that they can plug into the battery slots) and send you one.
I think the rechargeble pack will be a better bet, so I'm not sure if many people will want a mains adaptor.

OK, never mind - you can use my domain name www.consolewars.co.uk - for a forum where people can write about console wars topics - put loads of links up and things earning money - have a massive link to SR and because it's such a good name - apparantley 400,000 have visited it last year, although there's nothing on it as I haven't the foggiest idea of how to make a website (ignorant me), but you could use it.
Also, you don't need to reply quoting the whole message, but it's ok, I'll stay 6th for a good while BD
By the way, could you reply about the GBA thing? And are my suggestions ok?
