Ive an old Yosh box (ecu tuner) that against all good advice has been sent round the world a couple of times and even done the rounds of NZ more than once,a few off here have played around with it from time to time,its always found its way home therefore justifying my faith in human nature,been hard at times to sort out post payment so have sent the thing away courtesy of me most times and about a month sent it to a bloke up North and it arrived home the other day and was left on the workbench in the garage still postal wrapped.John (Oldrider) called in this evening and after he left i went out to check something on one of the bikes in the shed we had been discussing,i remembered the package on the bench and bought it in to unwrap and check it was all good,there was a few scratchies with a note of thanks,set about scratching said things to reveal:clap::clap::2thumbsup:shit::shit::dodge:sti ll cant believe it $25000....wtf:clap:absolutly stunned,there not my thing and ive never bought one in my life,the thing cost a $1..go figure.Will pass some of it back to the bloke methinks,would feel a right bastard if i didnt,cant believe my luck.Wahoo eh.:banana:

Make sure that bastard black/white cat you've got doesn't chew/destroy the ticket. I wouldn't put it past it

Cool,closest I have come to winning big,was selling raffle tickets,had 2 books ($20.00each)back in 1983,inlaws(now ex)bought one,me the other,I said which one you want,she said left hand one,so me being stupid gave her the one in right hand,turned out her ticket was winner,a 1983 Toyota Carolla value $11500,a reasonable home then was $40K.

[cs363]

There you go, Karma in action mate :D

That'll teach you to be a good bastard! :lol:


Stoked for you and rapt to hear of a 'real' person actually winning something off these things.

[scumdog]

Well done Mike - kharma is great and you deserve this windfall!:clap::2thumbsup

[98tls]

Freakin' sweet. There is justice after all. Buy him a beer and keep the rest dude, you've earned it. After much thought will end up giving the bloke $5000 of it,his reaction to the news was worth it alone to be honest,hes a good bugger and times have been a bit tough of late so it will really help him out.He was pretty blown away as i was about the whole thing.If i hadnt have shared some of it with him it would have annoyed the shit out of me for ever so best to enjoy it with a clear conscience.The rest if ive any brains will go on the mortgage,though the computers closer than the bank so possibly not.Doh.
