are there any news?...

We haven't forgotten about you! Unfortunately all the judges work/study full time so I don't like to pressure them too much.
The entries have now been narrowed down to the top ten, which hopefully will be reviewed by the judges over the weekend and we'll get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. :thumbsup:

I know you all just want a quick straight answer, but this is an incredibly difficult job for the judges, there are so many fantastic entries and of course each one needs reading individually! :woot:

Thanks again to everyone who took time to enter the competition,

Vicky

Right everyone! The judges have made their decision, and we are delighted to announce the winner of the Durga Competition is..... 'Zipper', aka Lee.

Congratulations to Lee from all of team oOple, and thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to enter this competition. It's been very difficult to narrow all the great entries down to one winner, however there is only one prize!

Thanks to everyone!

Jimmy and Vicky

:thumbsup:

Well done Lee could we see the winning entry

:thumbsup::woot:

A

Are you gonna post his essay? Might be fun :woot:

I've messaged Lee to inform him, I'll leave it up to him about sharing the entry!
:lol:

nice one lee. who were the top ten may i ask?

Yeah Vicky, give us the top ten names! :) or is that not fair? :confused:

Congratulations Lee! I'll get your Durga along with screw set from Tonys Screws packed up and on its way as soon as possible. :thumbsup:

Would be nice to see if i got into the top ten.

and the winng letter/plea was??

expect it sometime this year...... next if it is parcelforce roflol

NEVER if it's parcel farce :(
Enough of that despicable company though :thumbdown:

WOW it's a scandal! :woot:

I won't give lees entry 'away' but suffice to say the car isn't for him - it's for his son.

And as you'd imagine from the lack of reply in here - Lee has probably no idea he's won it for his kid yet.

aaawwwwhhh thats ace lee desearves it, go his son it will hopefully bring him into the sport more and get him racing maybe the next world champion when where all grey and old.:thumbsup:

I think a man hunt for lee is in order, any one who knows him please let him know of the good news!

Well done, Zipper. Post up some pics once you finish building it :)

Thanks, Vicky and friends, for organising the competition.

I know Lee and have sent him a message. lucky git:thumbsup:

top ten
 

please publish the top ten:thumbsup:

Your right… I had no idea!! :woot: (I'd been hitting the slopes in Slovakia!)

I had always intended to buy this buggy for me lad to have a proper go at buggy racing after reading the review on oOple… but needed to save up enough cash, so to win one is just amazing!

My son knows I entered the competition but I’m not going to tell him I’ve won it yet…. I think I’m going to secretly build it and then surprise him with the finished article!

I’ll post up pics of the lucky lad with the finished car as soon as it’s finished!

Many thanks,

Lee. :thumbsup:

It's spelled "you're", Lee.

Just messing. Make sure you post up pics :)

The Durga arrived safe and sound yesterday. Many thanks oOple! :D

Building has commenced......

Thanks for updating us all Lee, glad the Durga arrived safely. Keep us all informed, would love to know how your son gets on with the new car

One happy lad with his oOple Durga! :D

Thanks for posting the photo Lee - what a great smile! Loving the body shell, did you paint that yourself?
When is the first outing then? Looking forward to hearing how it goes,
Vicky

I wish! No, bodyshell courtesy of Jon Miller.

First outing, all going to plan, will be this coming Sunday at the Lawford Buggy Club indoor GP. Lots of hard walls and large jumps.... the perfect test! :woot:

haha excellent! I raced with my Durga today - I didn't suit the track :lol: but the car was again awesome and at least I got some really nice laps in, just too many mistakes

Jimmy your car looked good from where i was marshalling.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

So far so good for the oOple Durga... my lad has raced two full meetings without a breakage (something he had never previously managed) and he picked up "driver of the day" at the last one! :woot:

That's great news, I'm glad you and your son are enjoying it. :thumbsup:

Good news Zipper! :) Apart from that wishbone in the first race, I've never broken anything on the car despite racing it plenty of times at regionals, nationals etc.. Glad he's enjoying it! :)
