Win a Smart Car

HOW EASY IS THIS?

Norwich Union healthcare are offering you the chance to win a Smart
Car for giving you an online quote. Its as simple as that.

This is a FREE prize draw so no purchase is required.

Let us reiterate, you do not have to sign up for their health
insurance, you simply have to get an on screen quote. So why not give
it a go?

Simply complete the details to get a quote. Its just a couple ofl
pages of info to enter and then you get an on screen quote, once you
see your quote you are entered into the draw to win a smart car so
close. How easy is that!

*IMPORTANT*

its a good idea to click the "If you do not wish to be contacted by
Norwich Union, please click this box" box at the bottom of the first
screen and then they cant contact you at all!

If your wondering what the catch is, there isn't one (We would say
that wouldn't we). You enter a prize draw to win one of these lovely
beasts and we get a few pence because you clicked the banner.

Its a win win situation, just remember to click that box saying that
you don't want them to contact you.

If you win the car, then let us know! We'd love a quick spin in it

You may indeed win a Smart car, but what price your self-respect?

 

It was round about Thu, 10 Nov 2005 13:18:21 -0000,, when the famed
simonk of the dreaded simonk.org was struck by a sudden insight:

Based on my observations, those cars have to be smart to make up for
the obviously defective drivers ...

 

Idiot!
How the **** will you know if you have won if they can't contact you?

 

"much cheapness".

 

Stick a 'busa engine in it in it.

I've been idly wondering about a Citroen C1/Peugeot 107, mind you. Car
parking is getting pretty tight round my neck of the woods. And they sound
like they're a hoot to drive.

 

that's the thing with the sliding door, isn't it?

There's a sort of funky/shit dichotomy going on there.

 

Someone at work recently bought one, then objected when we all e-mailed
him pictures of Postman Pat's van, saying "That's your new car, that
is.".

 

That's the 1007.

 

That's the 1007 - the 107 is the joint effort Peugeot/Citroen/Toyota thing.

Not quite - that's the 1007 you're thinking of. The 107 is just a 106
replacement although I suspect the 1007 is just a very slightly
stretched
107.

 

Hehe. Well, if I had one, it'd have to be silver or black, I think.

 

Get the Aygo. It's much nicer IMO.

 

Yes, but it's an anagram of "Gayo".

 

Better than being French [1]


[1] I'm actually very happy with my Renault.

 

I think you'd need to join Molly for a spell in Thailand before that'd
be a suitable conveyance.

well, yeah.

 

Bike sales have tripled (near) where I live because of the traffic.
Unfortunately, it's mostly scoots. The Spic govt. just changed the law
so a car licence lets you ride a scoot of 125cc.

You want the 007. That comes with missile launchers.
