Top Gear Laptime Sweepstake

[Fuggles]

I can see some very well known names on that list. Come on peeps. 40% of the money raised goes to a charity for children wih cancer.

[supracat]

Come on guys - loads of you came up with guesses originally - £5 aint a lot to ask with most of it going to very worthy cause!

[rogerdavis]

And whos pockets does the remaining 60% go to? Why not be generous and give 100% to charity?

[supracat]

comes back to some of us of course. - gotta be a wee wager in there to make it fun.

put my bet on but not showing on the list as paid.

FYI maxxwaxx = nick brunt

cheers

Supraman is doing a daily catch up on those paid. I suspect not being a weekday he may wait until Monday (but I may be wrong). Anyone who updates the forum with their guess is confirmed and cross-checked with payments. Anyone that makes a payment alone will either be updated by us or will receive an email requesting confirmation of time chosen. I hope that makes sense; it does to me

[supracat]

clear as mud - just dont change your mind from 'first come first served' at the last minute!

The answer to that question is clearly stated at http://www.gtr.co.uk/products-52-toV..._top_gear.html. It started off purely as a sweepstake and then Fuggles suggested the charity element. Personally, I thought that the prospect of winning some money would encourage more people to pay, which would benefit the charity in the long run.

Speaking of being "generous", have you donated your money yet?

Sorry Nick. I thought someone had sent you an email to clarify your forum name. I did have a note of your payment but I had no way of linking your forum name to your order. This is a common problem, which is why we've started asking people to put their forum name in brackets somewhere in the name/address field of their order.

In fact, I have a similar problem with a payment that I received today at 19:01 on Saturday from a kindly doctor. Doctor Who?

You've been marked as "paid" now.

Some say, that they can afford to spend well over £50,000 on a car (and possibly even £1,900 on sat-nav, £1,400 on silver paint and £500 on mats!)...
...and that trips to Silverstone or the Nurburgring hardly dent their bank balances.
All we know is, GT-R forum members are tight with their money!

C'mon folks. We had 300 guesses on the original poll when it was free. Now, that it costs £5, only 10 of us have coughed up £55 so far - 8 people on Wednesday and only a single person on Thursday and Saturday. That's only £16.50 for the charity. Surely we can do better than that?

Supracat has even paid for 2 guesses. I'm going to do the same. If some of us are contributing twice, then surely most of us can contribute once?

[tokyogtr]

that's not even a full tank of gas is it? i don't think it's a case of people being tight, more that they're being lazy. could always lock them out from the R35 rooms until they cough up

[supraman]

If you ignore the opening credits, what was the first car that appeared (albeit very briefly) on the new series of Top Gear, which started tonight? You've guessed it!

That's Jeremy's way of telling you all to cough up!

[supraman]

Axolotl has paid.
