Amazing Roadster Raffle

[gingea1pom]

Gentleman and Anja.

John Merchant, forum member and top bloke has donated a miniature chassis that he has produced using a rapid prototyping machine. I understand the concept but am no expert. Read the thread and take a look at some pictures here (http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4140).

We (that’s the Royal we) are raffling his miniature chassis (£80 worth(and maybe some more stuff)) at Stoneleigh.

I will add a list if and when I receive donations.

Raffle tickets are £1 and are on sale now until 12pm (midday) Monday 3 May 10

You can purchase one ticket or 100 tickets buy either;

1. Seeing me at the Soneleigh Show, if you can’t find me ring 07546080056 and we will meet.

2. If you are not attending the show pay by PayPal (http://www.paypal.co.uk/uk) ing me at gingeatwell@virginmedia.com If you pay by PayPal please mention it here on the public forum so there can be no skull duggery! Oh and don't PayPal me if you are coming to the show ( I will not run out of tickets)

Up for grabs.

I would like to personaly thank you for your assistance & personal effort on behalf of the Roadster club :cool: :cool:

I'll hunt you down for my tickets over the weekend mate :)

Good question my friend,

Thinking out loud, all comments and thoughts gratefully received at Stoneleigh.

Once we have covered all costs (posting of items won by people who buy a ticket on the forum that can’t make it to Stoneleigh)

We could vote on Sunday evening or take suggestions all weekend.

Don’t know is the short answer.

Cheers Ginge

PS what TT said forgot we mentioned that earlier

As I started the thread regarding the forming of "The club" I was going to suggest that we have an informal meeting at stoneleigh to highlight suggestions/idea,s etc of the purpose of the club, possible nominee,s to the forming of a committee, then to create a thread so that all forum members that are not at the show get info thru this forum ( whilst we are still at the show), so that as much as possible every member is informed of what is being discussed.
I have been writing some notes with regard a few discussions that i,d like to "bring up" at a meeting at the show over the weekend.
I trust this will be acceptable to all?

Once we have elected a committee ( thru discussions at stoneleigh & info posted on the forum with enough time given for any forum members to make comment) we can then start the next stage of forming the Official club,

cheers

ps...ideally this post should be on the other "club" thread but thought it was relevant here also.

That made me laugh out loud.
Coz it's soooo true. you're an old fart Andy.:rolleyes:

Try this though....
Ash came round for a visit last night.
We were talking about a guy that does the rolling road near us.
Ash said he knows his stuff. he's been doing it all his life.
He's "Your age" he said to me......Hmmmm I thought.
Then Ash said ...."He's been doing it since he was my age"
Little B****rd...you ain't funny :mad:

Mind you we had a run out in his car after.
It's a super nice car, no wonder he's proud of it.
So all forgiven mate. For the mo........;)
(Although he might find his new tent has its zip superglued )

[twinturbo]

Ging...

Can you take along a 4pak of Guniess to put in the raffle. I will pay for 10 tikkets and the cost of the Guniess. Let me know what I owe.

TT

[twinturbo]

Next question will be..

Is it a ticket is drawn and the winner picks a prize.

Or is it a prize selected and the ticket drawn..

I prefere the latter type, especialy as some of us will not be there.

TT

[gingea1pom]

TT,

Your question popped into my head last night.

I think the fairest way to do it, as some people will not be there, is to draw the raffle and the prizes are allocated in the order that they appear on the list below.

Cheers TT for the donation I will pick it up tonight and PM you the bill!!

Cheers Ginge

[gingea1pom]

Wow, if every ‘active’ member of the forum bought a raffle ticket the club to be would have £268 to get us started. :D

Not withstanding those upstanding members who have already purchased a ticket or two, and I know lots of you will be purchasing them at the show.

Just a thought!:rolleyes:

Cheers Ginge

[Bonzo]

A little off topic :o :o

I would love to see some of the non-active forum members, become more involved in the forum.

Perhaps this could become part of the clubs agenda ;)

Would be fantastic to know the real number of Roadster builds out there :)

[Davey]

Great start guys, I'll be buying my tickets at the show and I'll get me thinking cap on for a prize to donate, sadly not much of my business is related to sports cars so it'd be difficult to donate anything useful, still I'm sure I can come up with something.

D.

In edit: okay guys I've got it, how's about a CTEK XS3600 battery charger worth around £50.

[gingea1pom]

Davey,

That’s fantastic of you to donate.

Pleased don’t feel obliged, any one, to donate BUT everything welcome.

Davey, can I stick it on the list?

Cheers Ginge

[Davey]

Hi Ginge, no problem mate. You can stick it on the list but my stock controller (read wife:p ) has just told me we're waiting for them to come in so all I can say is that if whoever wins it contacts me with their address details then as soon as we have them I'll send it out.

[les g]

i prefer reverse order raffles or the ones where the prizes are numbered and the numbers go in a pot and are drawn
( preferably by a naked page 3 girl :D )
just seems more fun somehow.
but i,ll go along with the majority

What an outrageous suggestion, a naked page 3 girl. This would clearly be unbalanced and not symmetrical, 2 naked girls would be much better :D

[dogwood]

Well I ain't going to buy any tickets till someone donates some Strongbow.
Hate GUINNESS:p

[bobbyh]

I will donates 4 pack of strongbow and buy 5 tickets pm me the bill ginge. now dogwood you have to donate some Cadbury dairy milk.

[gingea1pom]

Nice one bobby.

I will try and get down there this morning.

Cheers Ginge

[dogwood]

Challenge accepted....
Mind you I'll have to hide it from the chocolate monster....:rolleyes:

Donated, chocolate bar. and buy 5 tickets. (I'll pay at show Ginge)

[DStanley1809]

I can't make it to the show this year (bloody uni exams making me revise :() but I would like to buy five tickets. I'll sort out the Pay Pal bit later this afternoon.

I also thought about having a prize specially for non-forum/club members to entice them into building a Haynes Roadster and joining the forum/club. I'm willing to donate my copy of the Haynes Roadster book :) .

It's in as new condition (no grubby finger marks or bent pages etc). Only problem is that because I can't make it to the show someone will have to collect it (I live in Coventry, about 15 minutes away from the show depending on traffic).

[gingea1pom]

DStanley1809,

I will look out for your payment later on.

I/we appreciate your offer of donation, however I will not be cutting about the show hassling non roadster types to purchase a ticket, to that end 99.9% of people who buy a ticket will already have the book.

Please don’t get me wrong your offer is most appreciated but I would prefer to give the book to an interested party at the show. If Exeter is anything to go buy there will be lots of interest over the weekend.

Hope this is OK.

Cheers Ginge

[DStanley1809]

Fair enough, I thought tickets would be being sold from the club stand as well. I can see your point about not walking around hassling people to buy them.

[gingea1pom]

Club stand, what club stand we haven’t got a club yet, just a collection of like minded forum members meeting at Stonelegh.

The raffle only came about because John donated his fantastic miniature chassis to raise some funds to get a club up and running. Since then many forum members have been most generous (I am slightly overwhelmed by the generosity to be honest).

While I am jabbering on here is what is up for grabs:

Rapid Prototype Miniature Haynes Roadster Chassis – John Marchant
Full set of camber adjuster lock nuts and rear camber adjusters – Bonzo (Ronnie)
Roadster vinyl decals – Slimtater
General purpose grease – LesG
Aeroscreen - AndyH
Set of three Clarky welding clamps (Item 040212840) – HandyAndy
A £20 voucher for use in the on line shop - www.enochsemporium.co.uk – Enoch
CTEK XS3600 battery charger – Davey
A four pack of Guiness – TT
A four pack of Strongbow – BobbyH

Here is how you get some tickets if you are NOT coming to the Stoneleigh show:

If you are not attending the show pay by PayPal ing me at gingeatwell@virginmedia.com If you pay by PayPal please mention it here on the public forum so there can be no skull duggery! Oh and don't PayPal me if you are coming to the show ( I will not run out of tickets, got two books now that’s 1000 tickets!!))

Here is a list of those who have purchased tickets and there ticket numbers:

JimmyD -1 & 2
Spud69 – 3 to 12
TwinTurbo – 13 to 22

Cheers Ginge

[DStanley1809]

Paypal sent for five tickets :)

I only thought there was some kind of stand for the forum because I saw elsewhere that someone has bought a banner - I obviously misunderstood what was going on there.

I have bought the Banner, Nicky collected it this morning.

It was just an idea so people walking around the show realise that they are looking at a Haynes Roadster.

As I type, your payment has come in, thank you.

Ticket numbers 23 to 27 for you Dave.

Cheers Ginge

[Bonzo]

Hi Ginge

You can update my donation to Two sets of Rear camber adjusters & front/rear locknuts :)

I had more surplus materials than I thought ;)

Hopefully that will add another usefull prize to the pot :cool:

[gingea1pom]

Ronnie,

Where you thinking of adding those items to your first donation or having them as a separate prize?

Cheers Ginge

[twinturbo]

Hopefully we will sell a few tickets to make the pot big :)

TT

[gingea1pom]

Hopefully we will sell a few tickets to make the pot big :)

Well I hope so because next year we (royal we) will have to pay for a club stand.

I will be able to be on the stand all weekend as I will have finished my Roadster........what ever

[Bonzo]

Ronnie,

Where you thinking of adding those items to your first donation or having them as a separate prize?

Cheers Ginge

Probably best used as a seperate prize .... Most folk will only have use for one set.

Being as I had some more spare materials, I thought an extra prize for the draw would be usefull :)

It'll help increase the chances of someone striking it lucky ;)

[gingea1pom]

Right, if you have read this far and are thinking "I'll have a few tickets" DON'T.

It is an hour before the draw and I won't have time to chack the Forum before we start.

I have got £60 so far expect to sell a few more when we all gather for the draw.

I will post the results once I get back to my computer, typing on the BlackBerry is slow.

Good luck

Cheers Ginge

[gingea1pom]

The raffle was drawn just after midday; Chris Gibbs wife drew the tickets.

In order that they were drawn the winners are:

AdrianH –. Rapid Prototype Miniature Haynes Roadster Chassis (there is a story to this read on)
BazR – Full set of camber adjuster lock nuts and rear camber adjusters.
Davey – Roadster vinyl decal.
TT – Roadster vinyl decal.
Spud – General purpose grease.
Gus – Aeroscreen.
Davey (again) - Set of three Clarky welding clamps.
BazR – (again)A £20 voucher for use in the on line shop - www.enochsemporium.co.uk
JimmyD - CTEK XS3600 battery charger.
Tilly – All the booze (we made an executive decision to lump all the booze together)
TonyM - Set of welding sleeves.
HandyAndy – won a laptop that was kindly donated by Keith(MightyMouth) thank you.
Davey (for the third time!) – Bar of chocolate.

AdrianH decided he would never get the miniature chassis home in one piece, so offered it up for sale for £50. Chris Gibbs borrowed the cash off his wife and snapped it up. Adrian then donated the cash to the club. Top man Adrian on behalf of anyone who ever joins the club thank you it was a really generous.

Thanks again to John Marchant for providing the prize that got the whole thing going, Bonzo, Slimtater, LesG, AndyH(Spud69), HandyAndy,Enoch, Davey(not just the prize donation but at least 20 cups of tea), TT, One dayTM, Dogwood and every one for buying tickets.

A little post raffle admin,

TT, PM me your address and I will pop the sticker in the post.

Spud, I am kicking myself for not leaving the grease with HandyAndy, PM me your address or do you want me to send it to Saturn?

Gus, The Areoscreen is a little fragile maby we could work out a meet, I would love to see your build, I must confess I haven’t checked where you live. PM me we can sort something out.

JimmyD, If you can speak direct to Davey, once he has them back in stock he will post one out.

BazR, I am sure I mentioned about contacting Enoch direct, he will give you a code to use on his web site.

TonnyM, PM me your address and I will get the welding sleeves off to you.

Finally a huge apology to BobbyH, by the time you PM’ed me on Saturday I was at the show. There are certain functions of the web site that do not work on my BlackBerry, who’s on line and Personal Messaging, so I did not get your PM, Sorry again there will be others.

Cheers Ginge

[Jimmyd]

Wow I won something I never win anything!! If someone is in great need of this charger and are willing to make a payment to the club I will offer it up.

[gingea1pom]

Oh, I forgot to mention the most important bit we made, for the club, less any postage expenses:


£160


Cheers Ginge

[twinturbo]

cool :)

And good going Adrian.

[John Marchant]

Cheers Ginge

[Davey]

Well done to everyone, prize donaters and ticket buyers alike. If whoever is going to have the CTEK charger would like to PM me once you've sorted out the details with Jimmy then I can send it out as soon as we get them back in stock. That money will make a great financial start to the new club, happy daze:D .

D.

[onedayTM]

Hi ginge, well done on organizing the raffle, the first of many events to come I'm sure. I can't believe I've won a prize and amazing still I've won my own donation! would you credit it. What I suggest ginge is maybe you could hang on to the sleeves and maybe see if anyone needs some and raise some more cash.
A big thanks also for bringing my hoist up.
cheers
tony

[bobbyh]

i will still pay for the booz m8 and any tickets you put in (if any for me) only fair i pay as well m8

[HandyAndy]

fantastic raffle :cool:

A huge well done & thankyou to "Ginge" for setting it up & keeping track of everything,
and thanks to everyone that donated prizes & to all that purchased tickets,

Thats a great amount of money to be raised in such a short space of time, "The Club" appreciates the input from eveyone ( more to follow about "The Club" in a seperate post....lots to write up :) )

cheers
andy

[Jimmyd]

Davey/Ginge you have PM's ref the charger.

Thanks Guys.

J

[gingea1pom]

J,

Received and replied.

Cheers Ginge

[Jimmyd]

Guy's,

FYI.

You'll know I offered my prize for a club donation. Well it didn't quite work out that way, but it looks like the charger has turned into a roll bar. So the club will have a donation made by myself to Ginge and Davey knows who now owns the charger.

Hope that makes sense. Basically I'm happy with a roll bar, A.N. Other is getting the charger and the club is getting a little funds.

All for the greater good.


J

[gingea1pom]

J,

Nice one mate.

Cheers Ginge

[gingea1pom]

Hands up and confess time, I cocked up,

By using a combination of user names and real names I missed the fact that onedayTM (Tony) donated a set of welding sleeves and then won them back again.

Mental note to self use one or the other user names or real names.

Any way being the good chap he is, he has asked me to offer the sleeves up to the highest bidder. (well the highest bidder bit was my idea):D

Don’t feel obliged, I will let it run until this time’ish tomorrow, all money goes to the club to be, I will cover postage, if only one person offers a fiver that’s fine.

Please keep it all on the forum (until it’s finished).;)

Handy,

You are welcome, I am glad it's proving useful.

The one I bought off MM is working well too although I shall have to install more memory, 128MB is just not enough to run XP properly. I've managed to get drivers installed for my old Belkin cardbus wifi adapter so its now got wireless network connection too. Its going to be really useful in the workshop once I get it sorted for diagnostic stuff. Cheers, MM.

Davey,

Depending on what you are using it for then 128mb of memory is enough. if you are just using it for workshop stuff try this first.


Click on the Start Button
Right click on "My Computer"
Click on Properties
On the windows that pops up click on the advanced tab at the top
Now click on the Settings button under the Performance heading
On the performance options window select the Visual effects tab at the top and then click the radio button that says Adjust for best performance.
Click on the advanced tab then at the bottom click on the Change button under the Virtual Memory Hadding
On the virtual Memory window make sure the radio button next to "System Managed Size is selected" then click the "Set" button to the right.
Click OK
Click OK to the message abut restarting the computer
Click OK on the Performance options Window
Click Ok on the System properties Window
Restart the computerThis will get rid of all the fancy look of Windows XP but will free up quite a lot of memory.

Cheers Keith but to be honest its just soooo slow even booting up and memory is still pretty cheap, I can put 1GB in it for less than £30 so it doesn't make sense not to really.
