Dream Car competition winner & results Daniel Temkin - Mini Cooper S + £20k 15 - 21 Oct Week 42 2018

I’d been on a bike ride and had just finished showering when there was a knock at the door. My wife answered and as I looked down from the top of the stairs (in my pants!) I was greeted by a very friendly Christian, who told me to put some clothes on and come with him. He told me I’d won something pretty exciting and walked me down the road… to my new Mini and £20,000! 

Winning the car and cash was an amazing surprise and couldn't have come at a better time. I am semi-retired and retire completely at eighty at the end of this year. I was expecting to have to give up luxuries like health insurance in the very near future and had given up the idea of buying a new car - I expected to carry on with my Nissan Note, which I bought second hand ten years ago. I still find it difficult to believe I shall have the great pleasure of enjoying the unique smell that goes with a new car and its exciting performance. 

We’ve chosen the colour and a few additions, paid for from the winning cash, and the balance is now safely in my bank account. We now await the delivery - how very exciting! Thanks so much to the BOTB team, especially to the wonderful Vanessa and Christian.
