Haha... In July I sent in an entry for a Rapid Bikes comp for the "Racing for MS" section... Thought I had the one answer wrong... but no! I got an email today stating I had won and... yeah... read it lol

Hi Tammy,

Sorry to have taken so long in getting around to this but….. you have won the Rapid Bikes/Racing4MS July comp.

We have a Racing4MS tshirt and cap to send over, just let us know what size you would like.

If all goes to plan, you will get a mention in the December issue too

Cheers

Mark and Sarah-Jane

hehe, I know the prize isn't huge... but still... that tickled my fancy

Questions were: What number is the Racing for MS bike? And what number did the Editor race with at Eastern Creek (or something)?

The first one was easy... they had the picture on the page with the question... the second one was a bit harder... I searched all the old issues of Rapid bikes... and couldn't find anything, then did a search online and only found a number he used about 2 years ago... so I took a chance and sent that number in... haha

woop!

Congrats placidfemme.

Remember some years ago I won an autographed boxed Linux edition of Quake 3 in Atomic magazine. Question was a geeky "What date did Linus first mention his operating system on BBS?".

Feels good doesn't it. You know we're going to expect a pic of you wearing the tshirt now.

Yeah I went through a stage last year (or the year before??) where I entered every online comp I could...

Won a PS2 game (some shooting game)
Won a "coke" t-shirt
Won a 12 pack of some bottled water
Won about 5 CD's (all crap... just entered for the fun of it)
Won double passes to two sperate premier screenings at rialto
Won a kite
Won a dinner voucher

Yeah... but I got bored it quickly lol

*now only enters bike related comps*

. Feels great to get your prize in the mail... I used to enter alot of competitions.. mostly won alot of junk though, kids toys that broke down after a couple of months, dvds that were crap, pretzels even.. and I hate pretzels.

lol but you still entered

I got sick of cause not many NZ comps are out there on the net... and all the overseas ones have small print saying "US resident only" or the like... couldn't be bothered reading all the small print so I stopped

**Lissa** · 3rd November 2006, 12:25

hehe yea I still entered.... Anything for free is good, just save them up and give them away as pressies

Oh never done 'net' ones, I used to enter the magazine ones...

**placidfemme** · 3rd November 2006, 12:30

oh... all mine are online except for the most recent Rapid Bikes one...

**dnos** · 3rd November 2006, 13:09

best thing i ever won was a beer making kit. mmmmmmmmm beer.

Well I got the Shirt & Cap & Sticker on Friday.

I asked for a Womens size 10 or 12 for the shirt... and they sent me a BIG shirt... so either women in Aussie are large... or they just didn't care lol

Anyway... the shirt is unwearable (unless maybe as a dress or mini-skirt dress) because its too big...

The cap is great cause its adjustable so my little head can fit in it

And the sticker joined all my other stickers (Maverick knows where they are lol)

Anyway I'll post pictures once they arrive in my inbox (from my phone)

Anyway...

Here are the pics... I didn't put the shirt on... cause its too big... can produce proof if needed lol and I didn't wear the cap cause my eyes were bloodshot lol so again can provide further proof if needed...
